Foreword
(This Foreword is not part of American National Standard C84.1-2006)
This standard supersedes American National Standard for Electric Power Systems and Equipment - Voltage Ratings (60 Hz), ANSI C84.1-1995 (R2001, R2005). Standard nominal system voltages and
voltage ranges shown in the previous standard have been extended to include maximum system voltages of up to and including 1200 kV.
In 1942, the Edison Electric Institute published the document Utilization Voltage Standardization
Recommendations, EEI Pub. No. J-8. Based on that early document, a joint report was issued in 1949 by the Edison Electric Institute (EEI Pub. No. R6) and the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA Pub. No. 117). This 1949 publication was subsequently approved as American National Standard EEI-NEMA Preferred Voltage Ratings for AC Systems and Equipment, ANSI C84.1-1954.
American National Standard C84.1-1954 was a pioneering effort in its field. It not only made carefully considered recommendations on voltage ratings for electric systems and equipment, but also contained a considerable amount of much-needed educational material.
After ANSI C84.1-1954 was prepared, the capacities of power supply systems and customers' wiring systems increased and their unit voltage drops decreased. New utilization equipment was introduced and power requirements of individual equipment were increased. These developments exerted an important influence both on power systems and equipment design and on operating characteristics.
In accordance with American National Standards Institute policy requiring periodic review of its standards, American National Standards Committee C84 was activated in 1962 to review and revise American National Standard C84.1-1954, the Edison Electric Institute and National Electrical Manufacturers
Association being named cosponsors for the project. Membership on the C84 Committee represented a wide diversity of experience in the electrical industry. To this invaluable pool of experience were added the findings of the following surveys conducted by the committee:
(1) A comprehensive questionnaire on power system design and operating practices, including
measurement of actual service voltages. (Approximately 65,000 readings were recorded, coming from all parts of the United States and from systems of all sizes, whether measured by number of customers or by extent of service areas.)
(2) A sampling of single-phase distribution transformer production by kilovolt-amperes and primary
voltage ratings to determine relative uses of medium voltages.
(3) A survey of utilization voltages at motor terminals at approximately twenty industrial locations
The worth of any standard is measured by the degree of its acceptance and use. After careful
consideration, and in view of the state of the art and the generally better understanding of the factors involved, the C84 Committee concluded that a successor standard to ANSI C84.1-1954 should be
developed and published in a much simplified form, thereby promoting ease of understanding and hence its acceptance and use. This resulted in the approval and publication of American National Standard C84.1-1970, followed by its supplement, ANSI C84.1a-1973, which provides voltage limits established for the 600-volt nominal system voltage.
The 1977 revision of the standard incorporated an expanded Foreword that provided a more complete history of this standard’s development. The 1970 revision included a significantly more useful Table 1 (by designating “preferred” system voltages), the 1977 revision provided further clarity, and the 1982 revision segmented the system voltages into the various voltage classes.
iv
ANSI C84.1-2006
With the 2006 revision, the scope expanded to include voltages above 230 kV. This increased voltage range was previously covered by IEEE Std 1312-1993 (R2004), IEEE Standard Preferred Voltage
Ratings for Alternating-Current Electrical Systems and Equipment Operating at Voltages Above 230 kV Nominal, and its predecessor, ANSI C92.2-1987.
Suggestions for improvement of the standard will be welcome. They should be sent to the National Electrical Manufacturers Association, 1300 North 17th Street, Rosslyn, VA 22209.
This standard was processed and approved for submittal to ANSI by Accredited Standards Committee on Preferred Voltage Ratings for AC Systems and Equipment, C84. Committee approval of the standard does not necessarily imply that all committee members voted for its approval. At the time it approved this standard, the C84 Committee had the following members:

AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARD ANSI C84.1-2006
For Electric Power Systems and Equipment— Voltage Ratings (60 Hertz)
1 Scope and purpose
1.1 Scope
This standard establishes nominal voltage ratings and operating tolerances for 60-hertz electric power systems above 100 volts. It also makes recommendations to other standardizing groups with respect to voltage ratings for equipment used on power systems and for utilization devices connected to such systems.
This standard includes preferred voltage ratings up to and including 1200 kV maximum system voltage, as defined in the standard.
In defining maximum system voltage, voltage transients and temporary overvoltages caused by abnormal system conditions such as faults, load rejection, and the like are excluded. However, voltage transients and temporary overvoltages may affect equipment operating performance and are considered in equipment application. 1.2 Purpose
The purposes of this standard are to:
(1) Promote a better understanding of the voltages associated with power systems and utilization
equipment to achieve overall practical and economical design and operation (2) Establish uniform nomenclature in the field of voltages
(3) Promote standardization of nominal system voltages and ranges of voltage variations for
operating systems
(4) Promote standardization of equipment voltage ratings and tolerances
(5) Promote coordination of relationships between system and equipment voltage ratings and
tolerances
(6) Provide a guide for future development and design of equipment to achieve the best possible
conformance with the needs of the users
(7) Provide a guide, with respect to choice of voltages, for new power system undertakings and
for changes in older ones
2 Definitions
2.1 system or power system: The connected system of power apparatus used to deliver electric power from the source to the utilization device. Portions of the system may be under different ownership, such as that of a supplier or a user.
2.2 system voltage terms. As used in this document, all voltages are rms phase-to-phase, except that the voltage following a slant-line is an rms phase-to-neutral voltage.
2.2.1 system voltage: The root-mean-square (rms) phase-to-phase voltage of a portion of an alternating-current electric system. Each system voltage pertains to a portion of the system that is bounded by transformers or utilization equipment.
1
ANSI C84.1-2006
2.2.2 nominal system voltage: The voltage by which a portion of the system is designated, and to which certain operating characteristics of the system are related. Each nominal system voltage pertains to a portion of the system bounded by transformers or utilization equipment.
The nominal voltage of a system is near the voltage level at which the system normally operates. To allow for operating contingencies, systems generally operate at voltage levels about 5–10% below the maximum system voltage for which system components are designed.
2.2.3 maximum system voltage: The highest system voltage that occurs under normal operating conditions, and the highest system voltage for which equipment and other components are designed for satisfactory continuous operation without derating of any kind.
2.3 service voltage: The voltage at the point where the electrical system of the supplier and the electrical system of the user are connected.
2.4 utilization voltage: The voltage at the line terminals of utilization equipment.
2.4.1 nominal utilization voltage: The voltage rating of certain utilization equipment used on the system.
The nominal system voltages contained in table 1 apply to all parts of the system, both of the supplier and of the user. The ranges are given separately for service voltage and for utilization voltage, these normally being at different locations. It is recognized that the voltage at utilization points is normally somewhat lower than at the service point. In deference to this fact, and the fact that integral horsepower motors, or air conditioning and refrigeration equipment, or both, may constitute a heavy concentrated load on some circuits, the rated voltages of such equipment and of motors and motor-control equipment are usually lower than nominal system voltage. This corresponds to the range of utilization voltages in table 1. Other utilization equipment is generally rated at nominal system voltage.
3 System voltage classes
3.1 low voltage (LV): A class of nominal system voltages 1000 volts or less. 3.2 medium voltage (MV): A class of nominal system voltages greater than 1000 volts and less than 100 kV. 3.3 high voltage (HV): A class of nominal system voltages equal to or greater than 100 kV and equal to or less than 230 kV. 3.4 extra-high voltage (EHV): A class of nominal system voltages greater than 230 kV but less than 1000 kV.
3.5
ultra-high voltage (UHV): A class of nominal system voltages equal to or greater than 1000 kV.
4 Selection of nominal system voltages
When a new system is to be built or a new voltage level introduced into an existing system, one (or more) of the preferred nominal system voltages shown in boldface type in table 1 should be selected. The logical and economical choice for a particular system among the voltages thus distinguished will depend upon a number of factors, such as the character and size of the system.
Other system voltages that are in substantial use in existing systems are shown in lightface type.
Economic considerations will require that these voltages continue in use and in some cases may require that their use be extended; however, these voltages generally should not be utilized in new systems or in new voltage levels in existing systems.
2
ANSI C84.1-2006
The 4160-volt, 6900-volt, and 13 800-volt three-wire systems are particularly suited for industrial systems that supply predominantly polyphase loads, including large motors, because these voltages correspond to the standard motor ratings of 4000 volts, 6600 volts, and 13 200 volts, as is explained further in 2.4.1. It is not intended to recommend the use of these system voltages for utility primary distribution, for which four-wire voltages of 12 470Y/7200 volts or higher should be used.
5 Explanation of voltage ranges
For any specific nominal system voltage, the voltages actually existing at various points at various times on any power system, or on any group of systems, or in the industry as a whole, usually will be distributed within the maximum and minimum voltages shown in table 1. The design and operation of power systems and the design of equipment to be supplied from such systems should be coordinated with respect to these voltages so that the equipment will perform satisfactorily in conformance with product standards throughout the range of actual utilization voltages that will be encountered on the system. To further this objective, this standard establishes, for each nominal system voltage, two ranges for service voltage and utilization voltage variations, designated as Range A and Range B, the limits of which are given in table 1. These limits shall apply to sustained voltage levels and not to momentary voltage excursions that may result from such causes as switching operations, motor starting currents, and the like. 5.1 Application of voltage ranges
5.1.1 Range A—service voltage
Electric supply systems shall be so designed and operated that most service voltages will be within the limits specified for Range A. The occurrence of service voltages outside of these limits should be infrequent.
5.1.2 Range A—utilization voltage
User systems shall be so designed and operated that with service voltages within Range A limits, most utilization voltages will be within the limits specified for this range.
Utilization equipment shall be designed and rated to give fully satisfactory performance throughout this range.
5.1.3 Range B—service and utilization voltages
Range B includes voltages above and below Range A limits that necessarily result from practical design and operating conditions on supply or user systems, or both. Although such conditions are a part of
practical operations, they shall be limited in extent, frequency, and duration. When they occur, corrective measures shall be undertaken within a reasonable time to improve voltages to meet Range A requirements.
Insofar as practicable, utilization equipment shall be designed to give acceptable performance in the extremes of the range of utilization voltages, although not necessarily as good performance as in Range A.
5.1.4 Outside Range B—service and utilization voltages
It should be recognized that because of conditions beyond the control of the supplier or user, or both, there will be infrequent and limited periods when sustained voltages outside Range B limits will occur. Utilization equipment may not operate satisfactorily under these conditions, and protective devices may operate to protect the equipment.
3
ANSI C84.1-2006
When voltages occur outside the limits of Range B, prompt corrective action shall be taken. The urgency for such action will depend upon many factors, such as the location and nature of the load or circuits involved, and the magnitude and duration of the deviation beyond Range B limits. 6 Voltage ratings for 60-hertz electric equipment 6.1 General
This standard includes information, as given in Annex C, to assist in the understanding about the effects of unbalanced voltages on utilization equipment applied in polyphase systems. 6.2 Recommendation
Insofar as practicable, whenever electric equipment standards are revised:
(1) Nameplate voltage ratings should be changed as needed in order to provide a consistent relationship
between the ratings for all equipment of the same general class and the nominal system voltage on the portion of the system on which they are designed to operate
(2) The voltage ranges for which equipment is designed should be changed as needed in order to be in
accordance with the ranges shown in table 1.
The voltage ratings in each class of utilization equipment should be either the same as the nominal system voltages or less than the nominal system voltages by the approximate ratio of 115 to 120.

NOTES—
(a) Three-phase three-wire systems are systems in which only the three-phase conductors are carried
out from the source for connection of loads. The source may be derived from any type of three-phase transformer connection, grounded or ungrounded. Three-phase four-wire systems are
systems in which a grounded neutral conductor is also carried out from the source for connection of loads. Four-wire systems in table 1 are designated by the phase-to-phase voltage, followed by the letter Y (except for the 240/120-volt delta system), a slant line, and the phase-to-neutral voltage. Single-phase services and loads may be supplied from either single-phase or three-phase systems. The principal transformer connections that are used to supply single-phase and three-phase systems are illustrated in Annex A.
(b) The voltage ranges in this table are illustrated in Annex B.
(c) For 120-600-volt nominal systems, voltages in this column are maximum service voltages. Maximum
utilization voltages would not be expected to exceed 125 volts for the nominal system voltage of 120, nor appropriate multiples thereof for other nominal system voltages through 600 volts.
(d) A modification of this three-phase, four-wire system is available as a 120/208Y-volt service for single-phase, three-wire, open-wye applications.
(e) Certain kinds of control and protective equipment presently available have a maximum voltage limit of
600 volts; the manufacturer or power supplier or both should be consulted to assure proper application.
(f) Utilization equipment does not generally operate directly at these voltages. For equipment supplied
through transformers, refer to limits for nominal system voltage of transformer output.
(g) For these systems, Range A and Range B limits are not shown because, where they are used as
service voltages, the operating voltage level on the user’s system is normally adjusted by means of voltage regulators or load tap-changers to suit their requirements.
(h) Nominal utilization voltages are for low-voltage motors and control.

(a) These shaded portions of the ranges do not apply to circuits supplying lighting loads. See note 1 to table 1. (b) This shaded portion of the range does not apply to 120-600-volt systems. See note (c) to table 1.
(c) The difference between minimum service and minimum utilization voltages is intended to allow for voltage drop in the customer's wiring system. This difference is greater for service at more than 600 volts to allow for additional voltage drop in transformations between service voltage and utilization equipment.
(d) The Range B utilization voltage limits in table 1 for 2400-volt through 13800-volt systems are based on 90% and 110% of the voltage ratings of the standard motors used in these systems with some having a slight deviation from this figure.

Polyphase voltage unbalance
C.1 Introduction
Studies on the subject of three-phase voltage unbalance indicate that: (1) all utility-related costs required to reduce voltage unbalance and all manufacturing-related costs required to expand a motor's
unbalanced voltage operating range are ultimately borne directly by the customer, (2) utilities' incremental improvement costs are maximum as the voltage unbalance approaches zero and decline as the range increases, and (3) manufacturers' incremental motor-related costs are minimum at zero voltage unbalance and increase rapidly as the range increases.
When these costs, which exclude motor-related energy losses, are combined, curves can be developed that indicate the annual incremental cost to the customer for various selected percent voltage unbalance limits.
The optimal range of voltage unbalance occurs when the costs are minimum.
(1) Field surveys tend to indicate that the voltage unbalances range from 0–2.5 percent to 0–4.0 percent
with the average at approximately 0–3.0 percent
(2) Approximately 98 percent of the electric supply systems surveyed are within the 0–3.0 percent
voltage-unbalance range, with 66 percent at 0–1.0 percent or less
C.2 Recommendation
Electric supply systems should be designed and operated to limit the maximum voltage unbalance to 3 percent when measured at the electric-utility revenue meter under no-load conditions.
This recommendation should not be construed as expanding the voltage ranges prescribed in 5. If the unbalanced voltages of a polyphase system are near the upper or lower limits specified in table 1, Range A or Range B, each individual phase voltage should be within the limits in table 1.

C.3 Calculation for voltage unbalance
Voltage unbalance of a polyphase system is expressed as a percentage value and calculated as follows:
Percentvoltageunbalance=100×
(max.deviationfromaverageV)
(AverageVoltage)
Example: with phase-to-phase voltages of 230, 232, and 225, the average is 229; the maximum deviation from average is 4; and the percent unbalance is (100 X 4)/229 = 1.75 percent.
C.4 Derating for unbalance
The rated load capability of polyphase equipment is normally reduced by voltage unbalance. A common example is the derating factor, from figure C1, used in the application of polyphase induction motors.
Figure C1 – Derating factor
NOTE—See 14.36 of NEMA MG 1-2006 for more complete information about the derating factor.
C.5
Protection from severe voltage unbalance
User systems should be designed and operated to maintain a reasonably balanced load.
In severe cases of voltage unbalance, consideration should be given to equipment protection by applying unbalance limit controls.
