Purpose of TodayPurpose of Today• Raise awareness of recent developments in
Powercor technical standards– general overview– details are in the standards (see the
Intranet/Internet)– varied audience (high/medium/low users of the
standards)• Advise of upcoming changes and initiatives• Seek feedback on effectiveness of
standards
Technical Standards Group
Network Engineering
AgendaAgenda• Introduction• Technical Standards
changes– New Standards– Recent Revisions and
Updates– Work in Progress– Upcoming initiatives
• Product “show and tell”• Software Demo• Feedback Questionnaire
Technical Standards Group
Network Engineering
Powercor PolicyPowercor Policy• Where a Powercor Technical Standard exists, it shall
be used in lieu of the superseded VESI standard– PCA staff, Contractors, Trainers and Auditors
• Material/plant to be used on the Network must beapproved and used as defined in the standards– if it is not specified in the standards, it is not approved– auditing will identify non-compliance and replacement
/rework will be required
• Impacts– More reliable, safe, legally compliant and cost effective
solutions
Technical Standards Group

Recent InitiativesRecent Initiatives
• VESI Standards are on the Intranet• Work instructions, product brochures and
user manuals• “Powervision” information video• Use of training CD’s• Approved materials list on the Internet
