About This Item
IEEE P1246/D22, Jan 2020 is an IEEE draft guide focused on temporary protective grounding systems used in substations. It addresses the technical considerations behind grounding equipment selection, application, and safe use in power environments where personnel protection and equipment safety are critical. For engineers working with substations and related power systems, this draft helps define a more consistent approach to temporary grounding practices and the risks involved during maintenance or switching operations.
What is IEEE P1246/D22, Jan 2020?
IEEE P1246/D22, Jan 2020 is a draft technical guide intended to support the use of temporary protective grounding systems in substation settings. It is relevant to components, circuits, devices, and power applications where exposed conductors or energized equipment may need controlled grounding during work. The document typically serves as a reference for engineering judgment, helping users consider system conditions, grounding equipment characteristics, and the practical requirements tied to safe installation and removal.
Where is IEEE P1246/D22, Jan 2020 used?
This draft guide is most relevant in substations, switchyards, and other high-voltage power facilities where maintenance crews may apply temporary grounds to de-energized equipment. IEEE P1246/D22, Jan 2020 may also be used during outage planning, field procedures, and equipment isolation work involving buses, conductors, switches, and related apparatus. Its guidance is useful for utilities, industrial power operators, and engineering teams responsible for safe work practices around electrical infrastructure.
Why is IEEE P1246/D22, Jan 2020 important?
IEEE P1246/D22, Jan 2020 matters because temporary grounding is a direct safety control in substation work. Clear guidance can help reduce the chance of hazardous induced voltages, accidental re-energization, and inconsistent field practices. It also supports design and procurement decisions by giving teams a common technical basis for grounding systems and their application. For organizations managing maintenance and compliance, that consistency can improve worker protection and reduce operational risk.
