IEEE 605a:2010

Amendment Standard - Inactive-Reserved.
A proper design of the substation bus ensures a safe and reliable operation of the substation and the power system. Two different types of buses are used in substations, the rigid bus and the strain (cable). This guide provides information on the different bus arrangements used in substations stating the advantages and disadvantages of each. Also it provides information as related to each bus type and construction. Once the bus type is selected, this guide provides the calculation tools for each bus type. Based on these calculations, the engineer can specify the bus size, forces acting on the bus structure, number of mounting structures required, and hardware requirements.

Three Annexes will be updated and corrected and main body of the guide will be corrected.
The purpose of this amendment is to incorporate all the technical corrections and changes to improve the document after RevCom has approved it. This will provide a correct and more valuable guide to the substation engineer.
