IEEE 1695-2024

This guide addresses voltages that exist at publicly and privately accessible locations as a result of the delivery and use of electrical energy. This guide is not intended for use as a statement of cause and effect. It focuses primarily on the presence of power frequency related voltages and discusses definitions, sources, testing techniques, and mitigation strategies. The purpose of this guide is to provide information essential to an understanding of stray and contact voltage and its effects, and to discuss widely used investigative and mitigative strategies. The guide will also help dispel misinformation surrounding this topic and enhance public safety. Revision Standard - Active. Voltage conditions that may arise at publicly and privately accessible locations as a result of the delivery and use of electrical energy are addressed in this guide. This guide is not intended for use as a statement of cause and effect. It focuses primarily on the presence of power frequency related voltage conditions and discusses definitions, sources, testing techniques, and strategies that may be available to help reduce those conditions.
