,Abstract: The IEEE Emerald Book™ presents a collection of consensus best practices for the
powering and grounding of electronic equipment used in commercial and industrial applications.
The main objective is to provide consensus recommended practices in an area where conflicting
information and conflicting design philosophies have dominated. The recommended practices
described are intended to enhance equipment performance while maintaining a safe installation. A
description of the nature and origin of power disturbances is provided, followed by theory on the
various parameters that impact power quality. Information on quantifying and resolving power and
grounding related concerns using measurement and diagnostic instrumentation and standardized
investigative procedures are included. Recommended power protection equipment and wiring and
grounding system design practices are presented. Information on telecommunications system
power protection as well as grounding, industrial system grounding, and noise control is included.
Finally a selection of case studies are presented to support the recommended practices presented
throughout the book.
Keywords: commercial applications, electrical power, electronic equipment, grounding, industrial
applications, power conditioning, power disturbance, power monitor, power quality

,IEEE Standards documents are developed within the IEEE Societies and the Standards Coordinating
Committees of the IEEE Standards Association (IEEE-SA) Standards Board. The IEEE develops its standards
through a consensus development process, approved by the American National Standards Institute, which brings
together volunteers representing varied viewpoints and interests to achieve the final product. Volunteers are not
necessarily members of the Institute and serve without compensation. While the IEEE administers the process
and establishes rules to promote fairness in the consensus development process, the IEEE does not independently
evaluate, test, or verify the accuracy of any of the information contained in its standards.
Use of an IEEE Standard is wholly voluntary. The IEEE disclaims liability for any personal injury, property or
other damage, of any nature whatsoever, whether special, indirect, consequential, or compensatory, directly or
indirectly resulting from the publication, use of, or reliance upon this, or any other IEEE Standard document.
The IEEE does not warrant or represent the accuracy or content of the material contained herein, and expressly
disclaims any express or implied warranty, including any implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for a spe-
cific purpose, or that the use of the material contained herein is free from patent infringement. IEEE Standards
documents are supplied “AS IS.”
The existence of an IEEE Standard does not imply that there are no other ways to produce, test, measure,
purchase, market, or provide other goods and services related to the scope of the IEEE Standard. Furthermore, the
viewpoint expressed at the time a standard is approved and issued is subject to change brought about through
developments in the state of the art and comments received from users of the standard. Every IEEE Standard is
subjected to review at least every five years for revision or reaffirmation. When a document is more than five
years old and has not been reaffirmed, it is reasonable to conclude that its contents, although still of some value,
do not wholly reflect the present state of the art. Users are cautioned to check to determine that they have the
latest edition of any IEEE Standard.
In publishing and making this document available, the IEEE is not suggesting or rendering professional or other
services for, or on behalf of, any person or entity. Nor is the IEEE undertaking to perform any duty owed by any
other person or entity to another. Any person utilizing this, and any other IEEE Standards document, should rely
upon the advice of a competent professional in determining the exercise of reasonable care in any given circum-
stances.
Interpretations: Occasionally questions may arise regarding the meaning of portions of standards as they relate to
specific applications. When the need for interpretations is brought to the attention of IEEE, the Institute will initiate
action to prepare appropriate responses. Since IEEE Standards represent a consensus of concerned interests, it is
important to ensure that any interpretation has also received the concurrence of a balance of interests. For this rea-
son, IEEE and the members of its societies and Standards Coordinating Committees are not able to provide an in-
stant response to interpretation requests except in those cases where the matter has previously received formal
consideration. At lectures, symposia, seminars, or educational courses, an individual presenting information on
IEEE standards shall make it clear that his or her views should be considered the personal views of that individual
rather than the formal position, explanation, or interpretation of the IEEE.
Comments for revision of IEEE Standards are welcome from any interested party, regardless of membership
affiliation with IEEE. Suggestions for changes in documents should be in the form of a proposed change of text,
together with appropriate supporting comments. Comments on standards and requests for interpretations should
be addressed to:

,Introduction
(This introduction is not part of IEEE Std 1100-2005, IEEE Recommended Practice for Powering and Grounding
Electronic Equipment.)
This recommended practice is a publication of the Industry Applications Society (IAS) of the IEEE and is
one of the IEEE Color Books®, which relate to industrial and commercial power systems. The recommended
practices described are intended to enhance equipment performance from an electric powering and
grounding standpoint, while maintaining a safe installation as prescribed by national and local electric code
requirements. The purpose of this recommended practice is to provide consensus recommended practices in
an area where conflicting information and conflicting design philosophies have dominated.
As the proliferation of digital electronic equipment continues to change the way society utilizes and relies on
electric power continuity, the need for standardized practices for power protection and grounding continues
to grow. The requirements of the digital society have essentially outgrown the capabilities of the present day
electric power supply, and the need for practices that promote system compatibility of both the electric
supply and the connected equipment is important from the largest industrial facilities all the way down to
home offices. The concept of system compatibility, which is covered extensively in this book, describes the
mechanisms of interaction and requirements necessary to ensure that not only does the electrical power
equipment connected to its power source operate properly even during moderate power fluctuations, but also
that same equipment does not interfere with other equipment connected to the common power system. The
responsibility for system compatibility is shared among all parties, including the electric suppliers, the
equipment manufacturers, the building designers, the power conditioning equipment manufacturers, and the
facility equipment specifiers, and this document supplies methods to ensure that when a system
compatibility problem is present, there are adequate means of investigating and resolving the concern. It is
also the intent of this document to supply power system design guidelines and recommended practices that
would minimize the potential for a system compatibility concern to occur.
To address the topics detailed in the IEEE Emerald Book™, the IEEE Working Group on Powering and
Grounding Electronic Equipment was originally formed in 1986 to write a recommended practice. The first
IEEE Emerald Book™ was subsequently published in 1992, followed by a revision in 1999. The project was
sponsored by the IAS Industrial and Commercial Power Systems Engineering Subcommittee. This
recommended practice is intended to complement other recommended practices in the IEEE Color Books®
and has been coordinated with other related codes and standards.
