About This Item
IEEE P495_D13, Aug 2007 is an inactive draft guide for testing faulted circuit indicators in power, energy, and industrial applications. It focuses on how these devices can be evaluated so their response to fault conditions is understood and compared in a consistent way. As a draft revision of IEEE 496-1986, it is relevant to engineers and buyers who need a technical reference for testing practices, device performance, and utility-oriented equipment qualification.
About IEEE P495_D13, Aug 2007
This technical document is aimed at the testing of faulted circuit indicators, which are commonly used to help locate abnormal conditions on electrical distribution circuits. IEEE P495_D13, Aug 2007 provides draft guidance for assessing how such indicators perform under fault-related conditions, supporting clearer comparison between products and methods. The revision context suggests an update to earlier guidance, making it useful where test procedures, performance interpretation, and equipment verification need to be aligned with established IEEE practice.
Where is IEEE P495_D13, Aug 2007 used?
IEEE P495_D13, Aug 2007 is most relevant in power distribution environments where faulted circuit indicators are installed on overhead or underground circuits to assist with fault location. It may be used by utilities, testing laboratories, and equipment engineers who work with indicator devices for feeder monitoring and service restoration workflows. The guide is especially relevant when comparing indicator behavior during simulated fault events, reviewing acceptance criteria, or supporting technical procurement for distribution-system monitoring equipment.
Importance in practice
In practice, IEEE P495_D13, Aug 2007 helps bring consistency to how faulted circuit indicators are tested and evaluated, which matters when reliability and service restoration depend on accurate device response. A defined testing approach can reduce ambiguity in product comparison, support safer engineering decisions, and improve confidence in field performance. For organizations managing distribution equipment, it also helps with documentation, compliance review, and risk reduction when selecting or verifying indicator technology.
