36. Summary IEEE Comprehensive Feeder Studied
Can be used to teach new engineers how the feeder operation changes with changes in the various devices
Good for “what if” questions
The IEEE Test Feeder Task Force hopes the system will be used not only by new engineers but by program developers to confirm results
