Review of activities of IEEE PES EMC Materials Subcommittee

IEEE PES EMC standards are well-known in the industry for guiding work on generators and motors. The EMC is the Electric Machines Committee. The authors of this paper are the present leadership for IEEE PES EMC Materials Subcommittee (MaSC). The focus of this paper is to review the general topics of the standards in this committee, with a particular focus on the new standards of the last 5 years, as well as a couple that will be going to ballot in the next year or two. The paper will include a grouping of the IEEE PES EMC MaSC standards as to general use. In addition, an overview of the hierarchy of the IEEE PES EMC will be discussed. The goal of this paper is to provide the novice with a general education of this area of IEEE Standards activities, hopefully, to generate interest to participate. For those more knowledgeable about IEEE standards, this paper plans to provide a review of new standards and activities on the existing works.
