About This Item
IEEE 282-1968 is a technical specification for speed governing and temperature protection of gas turbines intended to drive electric generators. It addresses the control and protective functions that help turbines operate within defined limits, supporting stable generator service and reducing the risk of overspeed or overheating. For engineering teams working with turbine-generator sets, this standard provides a focused reference for performance expectations, protective design, and practical coordination between prime mover and electrical equipment.
IEEE 282-1968 overview
This document sets out a recommended specification for the governing and thermal protection of gas turbines used in electric power generation applications. IEEE 282-1968 is relevant where dependable speed control is needed to maintain operating stability and where temperature protection is required to limit mechanical or thermal stress. Its technical context is centered on turbine-generator integration, with attention to control behavior, protective response, and the operating conditions that can affect safe and consistent service.
Typical use cases
This standard is commonly consulted when specifying or reviewing gas turbines that will drive electric generators in utility or industrial power systems. It may be used during equipment procurement, control-system design, and acceptance review for turbine governing and protection functions. IEEE 282-1968 is also useful for comparing vendor approaches to overspeed protection, temperature monitoring, and operating safeguards in generator-driven turbine installations where reliability and coordinated control are important.
Why this standard matters
Clear requirements for governing and temperature protection help reduce operational risk in gas turbine-driven generator service. IEEE 282-1968 supports consistency in design expectations, which can improve procurement decisions, testing plans, and integration of protective devices with the turbine control system. By defining a common technical basis, the standard can help limit disagreement between suppliers and users and improve confidence in performance, safety, and long-term operating reliability.
