Whereas the Parliament of India has set out to provide a practical regime of right to
information for citizens to secure access to information under the control of public authorities,
in order to promote transparency and accountability in the working of every public authority,
and whereas the attached publication of the Bureau of Indian Standards is of particular interest
to the public, particularly disadvantaged communities and those engaged in the pursuit of
education and knowledge, the attached public safety standard is made available to promote the
timely dissemination of this information in an accurate manner to the public.

FOREWORD
This Indian Standard ( Part 70 ) which is identical with IEC Pub 50 ( 604 ) ( 1987 ) International
electrotechnical
vocabulary : Chapter 604 Generation, transmission and distribution of electricity Operation, issued by the International Electrotechnical
Commission ( IEC ), was adopted by the Bureau
of Indian Standards on the recommendation
of the Basic Electrotechnical
Standards
Sectional
Committee and approval of the Electrotechnical
Division Council.
Only the English text given in the IEC publication has been retained while adopting
Standard, and as such the page numbers given here are not same as in IEC Publication.
