IEEE 1515-2000

Electronic power subsystems is an integral part of any electronic system. They perform the task of power processing, management, and distribution. To develop an IEEE Rec. Practice for electronic power subsystems. It includes parameter definitions, parameter test conditions, and parameter test methods. It is intended for dc, single-phase, or three-phase ac electronic subsystems with power level up to 20 KW, voltage level up to 600 V, and frequency up to 400 Hz. Lack of any standards in electronic subsystems engineering often leads to confusion. Different manufacturers and subsystem developers use similar terms to indicate different things. A standard in this regard will allow manufacturers as well as users to use the same set of terminology. This will in turn allow industry as well as Department of Defense system developers to acquire cost and time effective electronic power subsystems and products with great interchangeability. New IEEE Standard - Inactive-Reserved. This recommended practice defines many common parameters for ac-dc and dc-dc electronic power distribution components and subsystems. This enables electronic system engineers, manufacturers, and researchers to speak with a common language and hence facilitates effective and efficient communications. Furthermore, implementation of a common specification language will allow the power electronics industry as well as the user communities, including government system developers, to acquire cost and time-effective electronic power subsystems with significantly enhanced interchangeability.
