NETA Announces New 2024 Edition of the ANSI/NETA Standard for Electrical Commissioning Specifications for Electrical Power Equipment and Systems
August 20 2024 - 8:10AM
Orders are now being accepted for the latest 2024 edition of the
ANSI/NETA Standard for Electrical Commissioning Specifications for
Electrical Power Equipment and Systems, a publication of NETA, the
InterNational Electrical Testing Association.
The ANSI/NETA Standard for Electrical Commissioning
Specifications for Electrical Power Equipment and Systems describes
the systematic process of documenting and placing into service
newly installed or retrofitted electrical power equipment and
systems.
New Source-Specific Sections in ANSI/NETA ECS-2024 include:
- Photovoltaic (PV)
- Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS)
- Automatic Transfer Switches (ATS)
The voltage classes addressed in ANSI/NETA ECS-2024 include:
- Low-Voltage Systems (less than
1,000 volts)
- Medium-Voltage Systems (greater
than 1,000 volts and less than 100,000 volts)
- High-Voltage and
Extra-High-Voltage Systems (greater than 100 kV and less than 1,000
kV)
The ANSI/NETA Standard for Electrical Commissioning
Specifications for Electrical Power Equipment and Systems was
developed for use by those responsible for testing and
commissioning newly installed or retrofitted electrical power
systems and equipment to guide them in specifying and performing
the necessary inspections, tests, measurements, and system
performance verification to commission an electrical power system
infrastructure. This document aids in ensuring safe, reliable
operation of electrical power equipment and systems.
It is essential to commission newly installed, retrofitted,
expanded, or upgraded electrical power equipment and systems.
The 2024 ANSI/NETA Standard for Electrical Commissioning
Specifications for Electrical Power Equipment and Systems is
the third edition and most current revision of this document and
was approved as an American National Standard on July 2, 2024.
ANSI/NETA ECS-2024 should be used in conjunction with the most
recent editions of the ANSI/NETA Standard for Acceptance Testing
Specifications for Electrical Power Equipment and Systems
(ANSI/NETA ATS-2021) and the ANSI/NETA Standard for Maintenance
Testing Specifications for Electrical Power Equipment and Systems
(ANSI/NETA MTS-2023).
Together, these ANSI/NETA Standards provide the necessary
specifications to test and commission electrical power equipment
and systems. Furthermore, the ANSI/NETA Standards should be used
together with other commissioning documents to expand the scope to
include all the applicable systems. Other systems may include
mechanical, instrumentation, heating and refrigeration, and
building systems.
ANSI/NETA ECS-2024 provides references to the most up-to-date
industry standards such as ASHRAE; IEC; ANSI/NETA ETT and ATS;
NECA; NFPA 70, 70B, and 70E; OSHA, and others.
