To demonstrate the standard's real-world use, here is the simplified workflow an engineer follows using the PDF:
Historical and practical context
One of the most practical sections of the standard deals with (e.g., crushed stone or asphalt). IEEE 80-2013 provides formulas to calculate the "derating" of touch and step voltage limits based on the resistivity of the surface layer.
Officially titled "IEEE Guide for Safety in AC Substation Grounding," this 2013 revision (often referred to by its nickname, the "Green Book") is the cornerstone of ground grid design. For engineers, students, and safety officers, obtaining and understanding the is a critical task.
