ASC C62 i spresently eval uati ng the proposaleThe f i r s t draft of ASC C62.22 on Guide for the Application of Metal-Oxide,.Surge Arresters f o r Alternating-Current Systems was distributed t o the W.G.members f o r comments. Being the f i r s t d r a f t , numerous revisions are expected.'eA CIGRE Proposal has been received on Cooperation between CIGRE and IEEE PESTechnical Comnittees. The primary objective i s t o enhance mutualunderstanding of technical work performed by the respective comni ttees deal i n gw i t h similar technical subjects. SPDC had no objections a s long as Standardsand/or Guides are not jointly developed. Under the' proposal, a Liaison fromeach of the respective committees will be designated t o coordinate thetechnical activities.The special a c t i v i t y for the Seattle meeting was a Panel Discussion on t h eDesign and Testing of HVDC Surge Arresters. The panelists were from b o t husers and manufacturers. The information and discussions were veryinformative on the present status of design and testing HVDC arresters.EJ Y a su da /4-2 7 -8 7 ( 2540K 102

a-1:EEE JOINT COMMITTEE ON NUCLEAR STANDARDS1.M r . W. H. Mutschler, member of the Working Group onQualification of Class 1E Transformers on Nuclear PowerGenerating Stations, attended the IEEE/NPEC SC-2Committee Meeting in Washington, D.C. on October 27,1986 to discuss their negative ballots on Draft 14 ofP638. He also distributed copies of Preliminary Draft 15.1.This was a marked up copy of D14 which reflected theproposed resolutions to comments received from thiscommittee.2.D h f t 15 of P638 will be sent to the SC-2 CommitteeMeinbers hopefully by the last week in April 1987.3.Future meetings of the SC-2 Committee are:.

IEEE/PES TRANSFORMERS COMMITTEEREPORT OF THE COMMITTEE CHAIRMANMAY 10, 1987I)This has been an interesting and busy 4 months for me. Ithas also been an eventful time for the committee. I have had towrite far too many responses to lers of resignation to persons who have been 1f our Committee.Thisactivity reinforcesneed to be constantly onnot only for. our Committee ;the lookout fbut, also, foittees and our Working Groups.At the 1987 WPM Technical Council Meeting in New Orleans inFebruary, the prime topic was the future handling of Standar.ds.A s you may know, only about half of the IEEE members have signedforms acknowledging that they have read the Standards Manual andIEEE By-Laws sections relating to Standards. There also seemsto be a skirmish going on between the Board of Directors and theStandhrds Board.As a result, there is more confusion than i.sneeded'in the implementation of the IEEE as an accredited Standards Approval body and the concurrent member indemnificationprogram. Incidentally, I want to assure you that all IEEE members participating in standards work are now indemnified. Youwill notice at this meeting we are bending over backward in ourattempt to do every thing right so there will be no questions--and more important, no delays in our Standards development.,One addition point must be made. Since the naming of theIEEE as an accredited Standards Approval agency, it has becomenecessary that we maintain a chain of accountability for allstandards related work.This means that permanent files willhave to be maintained on all Project Authorization Requests andother documents pertinent to a standard's development. AllWorking Group Chairmen should review their files and set up anynecessary permanent files and make sure they are either properlyhanded over to a successor to the Sub-committee Chairman, asappropriate.There is some concern in the Power System Relay Committeethat the T&D Committee's work on high impedance faults may beencroaching on the Relay Committee's turf. I'm sure this willbe straightened out and a standard will be forthcoming promptly.In the wake oh the "special paper session" by thd T&D bommittee' at the Anaheim TLD Conference has raised again the discussion of nconferencel' and Transactions grade papers.So acommittee will be named to again review this ongoing concern.After many meetings and much discussion we still are talkingabout how many papers can be approved for each Power Meeting.The current approach is a five year allotment schedule where theCommittees' Technical Papers Chairman can develop his individualschedule just so long as he doesn't exceed his five year total6Chairman's Report\\O

-2-a5-87-[3p zallotment of pages in the Transactions.The T&D Conference was Very Successful with 1 0 , 3 3 5 registrants from 56 countries.Video equipment will be available in.New York at the 1988WPM f o r Technical Sessions and Committee Meetings on a trialbasis.The Technical Session Improvement Committee is advocatingthat the Technical Paper Chairmen review all visual material tobe used in a paper presentation prior to approving a paper.The Technical Council voted to make an annual awardOutstanding Working Group of each Committee.totheThere have been some changes in the involvement of EEI representqtives in the development of IEEE Standards. EEI plans todesignkte one or more PES Technical Committee members , who areemployed by companies which are EEI members to act as EEILiaison to the Technical Committees. This person has only onevote and may vote as he see fit.0From the Standards Coordinating Committee comes word thatthe log jam of C37 and C57 documents is getting straightenedout. However, in the future, if a document is held up too longin ANSI: perhaps, we should try to have it published as an IEEEdocument.Chairman’s Reporth,
