IEEE Working Group on Voltages at Publicly and Privately Accessible Locations

This working group was formed at the joint request of the PES Distribution Subcommittee members and the EEI T&D Committee.

The purpose of the working group is to write a trial-use guide for assessing voltages at publicly and privaly accessible locations. The proposed guide may include some or all of the following topics:

• Definitions
• Causes
• Testing protocols
• Measurement Equipment
• Mitigation options
• Applicable codes and standards
• Levels of concern
