The IEEE Standards Association (IEESA) invites participants in its working group for IEEE P3001.3, Recommended Practice for the Design of Industrial and Commercial Power Systems: Voltage Considerations. 

This recommended practice contains system voltage nomenclature and the preferred voltage ratings of distribution apparatus and utilization equipment. This is essential for proper voltage identification throughout a power distribution system. The recommended practice also discusses the dynamic characteristics of the system and proper principles of voltage control applied so that satisfactory voltages are supplied to utilization equipment under operating conditions. 

This recommended practice provides an update of Chapter 3 of IEEE Std 141-1993, Recommended Practice for Electric Power Distribution for Industrial Plants (the Red Book), and Chapter 3 of IEEE Std 241-1990, Recommended Practice for Electric Power Systems in Commercial Buildings (the Gray Book).        

It is likely to be of greatest value to the power-oriented engineer with limited experience with such requirements, although it can also be an aid to all engineers responsible for the electrical design of industrial and commercial power systems.
