Current Rode Subcommittee
Activities:
Controls for
Distribution Equipment Task Force
Chairman: Donald
M. Parker
There are voids in existing standards regarding special requirements associated with the application of controls on distribution lines (outside the substation). The purpose of this task force is to identify these special requirements and define the necessary testing. Some examples of these requirements are: (1) temperature, humidity, frost, (2) mechanical vibration, (3) harmonics, (4) grounding variations, (5) electro-magnetic interference, and (6) lightning and other surges.
New Solid
Dielectric Equipment Task Force
Chairman: Chris Ambrose
Solid
dielectric equipment
is emerging technology and there is a need to analyze this equipment to
determine what design tests, routine tests, and construction
specifications may
be needed/used. The
solid
dielectric equipment will affect many standards, including C37.60,
C37.63,
C37.66, and C37.74. Due
to this
equipment affecting many standards, the RODE Subcommittee members at
the Fall
2005 meeting agreed that a RODE Subcommittee Task Force needs to be
initiated
to investigate this type of equipment.
C37.60 –
Recloser Working Group
Chairmen: Bob
Behl & Dave Stone
This
is a possible new
working group. Now
in the formation
stage. General revisions with possible new requirements for solid
dielectric
equipment design tests, routine tests, and construction specifications. The solid dielectric
equipment is being
analyzed by a separate RODE Subcommittee task force.
The Corrigendum #1 for this standard
will be incorporated into the revision.
Other changes to this standard will be solicited.
C37.74 –
Underground Switchgear Working Group
Chairman:
Steve Meiners
This
is a possible new
working group. Now
in the formation
stage. General revisions with possible new requirements for solid
dielectric
equipment design tests, routine tests, and construction specifications. The solid dielectric
equipment is being
analyzed by a separate RODE Subcommittee task force.
Other changes to this standard will be
solicited.
