About This Item
IEEE PC37.242/D12, Dec 2012 is a technical guide focused on synchronization, calibration, testing, and installation of phasor measurement units (PMUs) for power system protection and control. It addresses the practical steps needed to prepare PMU equipment for reliable operation in power, energy, and industrial applications. By clarifying how these devices should be handled and verified, the document helps support consistent measurement quality and better system integration.
What is IEEE PC37.242/D12, Dec 2012?
IEEE PC37.242/D12, Dec 2012 is a draft guide for PMU-related engineering practice, with emphasis on synchronization to a reference time source, calibration of measurement functions, testing before deployment, and installation considerations. In the context of power system protection and control, these topics are important because PMUs are often used to capture time-aligned electrical data. The document is relevant where accurate phase and timing information is needed to support dependable system monitoring and control decisions.
Where is IEEE PC37.242/D12, Dec 2012 used?
This standard is typically used in power system environments that rely on PMUs for time-synchronized measurements, such as substations, control centers, and transmission monitoring systems. It is also relevant during equipment setup, factory testing, commissioning, and field installation of measurement and protection devices. IEEE PC37.242/D12, Dec 2012 can be useful for engineers and technicians working with power network instrumentation, especially where calibration and timing alignment affect control performance.
Why is IEEE PC37.242/D12, Dec 2012 important?
IEEE PC37.242/D12, Dec 2012 matters because PMU performance depends on accurate synchronization and careful verification.
