IEEE Recommended Practice for Seismic Design of Substations
Also Known As: IEEE Std 693-2018
The IEEE 693-2018 standard provides recommendations for the seismic design of substations. It covers various aspects of the design process, including the qualification of different equipment types and the seismic criteria for buildings and structures. The standard also includes guidelines for installation methods and documentation.
The scope of the standard encompasses the seismic design of both substation buildings and structures, as well as the design and qualification of substation equipment. It is intended for use in new substations and planned additions or improvements, rather than retrofitting existing substations.
The purpose of the recommended practice is to provide a set of requirements that can be used in the design and construction of substations to ensure their performance during seismic events. It is not intended to mandate retrofitting of existing substations, but rather to be used in the planning and implementation of new projects. The standard also provides instructions for incorporating its requirements into specifications. Users are encouraged to use the standard without modification, except as allowed within the document.
