What's new in RODE Subcommittee?
- RODE and the Dual Logo Maintenance Team is in the IEEE and IEC balloting process for a revision of C37.60, High-voltage switchgear and controlgear - Part 111: Automatic circuit reclosers for alternating current systems above 1000 V
- RODE has started the revision for C37.66, IEEE Standard Requirements for Capacitor Switches for AC Systems.
- RODE approved a PAR Study Group to evaluate the need for a document for Overhead Load Interrupter Switches
- RODE approved a Task Force to investigate the need and define the scope for a document when various pieces of RODE equipment are combined.
