About This Item
IEEE P1048/D10, Nov 2015 is an approved draft guide for the protective grounding of power lines, written for power, energy, and industry applications. It addresses grounding practices used to reduce electrical hazard during line work, maintenance, and related operations. For utilities, contractors, and engineering teams, this draft guide helps support safer procedures and more consistent field decisions when temporary grounding is required on energized or de-energized lines.
About IEEE P1048/D10, Nov 2015
IEEE P1048/D10, Nov 2015 focuses on protective grounding methods for power lines and the technical considerations that affect safe work practices. The document is intended to guide planning, equipment selection, and application of grounding techniques in electrical power environments. As a draft guide, it is especially relevant where organizations need a structured reference for evaluating grounding arrangements, minimizing exposure to fault current, and supporting reliable maintenance procedures in line-oriented systems.
Where is IEEE P1048/D10, Nov 2015 used?
This standard is commonly used in transmission and distribution line work, substation-adjacent tasks, and other field operations where crews may need to establish protective grounds on overhead power lines. It is relevant to maintenance planning, outage work, switching support, and job-site safety procedures in utility and industrial power settings. IEEE P1048/D10, Nov 2015 can also support engineering review, work method development, and procurement decisions for grounding-related tools and accessories.
Importance in practice
Protective grounding is a critical control for reducing shock and fault-related risk during power line work, and this guide helps bring consistency to that process. IEEE P1048/D10, Nov 2015 supports clearer expectations for safe application, inspection, and use of grounding practices, which can improve compliance and reduce operational uncertainty. For organizations managing field crews, the standard may help align design choices, training, and work instructions with a common technical basis.
