About This Item
IEEE 935-1989 is a technical guide on terminology for tools and equipment used in live line working, helping establish clear language for power, energy, and industrial applications. It focuses on the names and definitions associated with equipment used when work is carried out on energized lines, where precise communication is essential. By standardizing terminology, it supports safer planning, clearer documentation, and more consistent use of terms across engineering, maintenance, and procurement activities.
About IEEE 935-1989
This standard addresses terminology rather than product design, making it a useful reference for describing tools and equipment intended for live line work. IEEE 935-1989 helps align technical language around items used in energized maintenance practices, where misunderstanding can affect safety and operational clarity. For organizations that specify, review, or train on such equipment, the document offers a common vocabulary that can improve consistency in specifications, instructions, and records.
Where is IEEE 935-1989 used?
IEEE 935-1989 is most relevant in utilities, electrical maintenance operations, and engineering environments that involve live line working on power systems. It may be used when preparing work procedures, training materials, equipment lists, or procurement documents for tools such as insulated devices and related line-working equipment. The terminology is also useful in coordination between field crews, technical staff, and suppliers, especially where accurate identification of equipment affects work planning and safe handling.
Importance in practice
The practical value of IEEE 935-1989 lies in reducing ambiguity around the language used for live line tools and equipment. Consistent terminology can support safer job briefings, clearer compliance documentation, and better communication during specification and inspection activities. For organizations working with energized distribution or transmission assets, the standard can help limit misunderstandings about equipment purpose and use. IEEE 935-1989 also aids purchasing and training by making technical references more uniform and easier to verify.
