This publication provides a recommended practice for the electrical design of industrial facilities.
It is likely to be of greatest value to the power-oriented engineer with limited industrial
plant experience. It can also be an aid to all engineers responsible for the electrical design of
industrial facilities. However, it is not intended as a replacement for the many excellent engineering
texts and handbooks commonly in use, nor is it detailed enough to be a design manual.
It should be considered a guide and general reference on electrical design for industrial
plants and buildings.
Tables, charts, and other information that have been extracted from codes, standards, and
otherre technical literature are included in this publication. Their inclusion is for illustrative
purposes; where technical accuracy is important, the latest version of the referenced document
should be consulted to assure use of complete, up-to-date, and accurate information.
