IEEE 693:2005

Revision Standard - Superseded.
Seismic design recommendations for substations, including qualification of each equipment type, are discussed. Design recommendations consist of seismic criteria, qualification methods and levels, structural capacities, performance requirements for equipment operation, installation methods, and documentation

The Recommended Practice contains recommendations for the seismic design of substation buildings, structures, and equipment.
This recommended practice is for new substations and planned additions or improvements to existing
substations. It is not intended that existing substations must be retrofitted to these recommended practices.
For instruction on how to include this recommended practice in specifications, refer to 5.2.
IEEE Std 693 is designed as an integrated set of requirements for the seismic qualification of electrical power equipment. Users should use IEEE Std 693 as a whole. Do not modify or remove any requirement,except as allowed herein.
