This recommended practice explores commercial, institutional, and industrial design of electrical services, interconnecting with a utility distribution or transmission system. Close coordination between the facility electrical designer and the serving utility are critical for a successful service connection. This recommended practice considers the electrical system information needed by the designer concerning the utility’s system characteristics and the electrical load information needed by the utility to design a satisfactory electrical interface between the serving utility and the premise electrical distribution system. It describes various ways to take power from the serving utility. It also covers the specific requirements for utility metering on service entrance equipment, as well as service equipment rooms, vaults, and pads.
IEEE’s Industrial Applications Society has determined a need for reorganizing the IEEE’s Color Books Series, 13 books that currently cover various topics that fall under the purview of the Industrial and Commercial Power Industry. This comprehensive initiative, driven by the volunteer leadership of I&CPS, acknowledges that the continued and long-term maintenance of IEEE’s Color Books has been affected by significant attrition due to declining volunteer resources, the complexity involved in updating each book, and content duplication among the books. The existing content will be integrated into a newly proposed structure by technical topics that will allow for easy updating, more streamlined content, and elimination of duplicative material.

New IEEE Standard – Active. Commercial, institutional, and industrial design of electrical services, interconnecting with a utility distribution or transmission system is explored. The electrical system information needed by the designer concerning the utility’s system characteristics, and the electrical load information needed by the utility to design a satisfactory electrical interface between the serving utility and the premise electrical distribution system is considered
