What's new in RODE Subcommittee?
- The RODE subcommittee has rotated its leadership roles. It thanks Travis Johnson who did an excellent job as chair through the Covid-19 years.
- RODE has started the revision of C37.60, High-voltage switchgear and controlgear - Part 111: Automatic circuit reclosers for alternating current systems above 1 000 V, which is an IEC dual logo document.
- RODE is introducing two new standards to the industry. These are:
- IEEE Standard C37.75, Standard for Pad-Mounted, Pole- Mounted and Submersible Switchgear Enclosures and Associated Control Enclosures - Coastal and Non-Coastal Environmental Integrity, has recently been published.
- IEEE C37.68, Standard for Design, Test, and Application Requirements for Microprocessor-Based Controls of Distribution Padmount, Dry Vault, Wet Vault, and Polemount Switchgear Rated Above 1 kV and Up to and Including 38 kV, is presently in the balloting stage.
