Hi David,
The IEEE 3000 series standards are a collection of guides and recommended practices. These recommended practices provide a consolidated overview of many standards along with a degree of interpretation and application guidance. The guide specifications Schneider Electric develops are based on our experiences, applicable codes, standards enacted by codes and standards for the testing / quality of equipment. We also provide best practices around electrical distribution architectures by providing design guides with our recommended tested and validated architectures around the latest technologies and solutions to many electrical power distribution challenges. Schneider Electric is involved in many committees associated with IEEE and other standards. We provide much input into their development but also asses their impact.
This is our view as a manufacturer, but other consultant engineers may have more to add based on their experience. I would expect that these recommended practices provide more guidance on project drawings, which specifications are chosen and the options chosen within, while our guide specifications provide flexibility to make those choices. We have not referenced these specifications within our guide specifications at this time, but recommended industry practices due influence our specification development.
