Electrical

This guideline is intended to assist the customer in understanding the connection process that results in connection of the customer's generation facility to Hydro Ottwwa's distribution network. This guideline does not provide all the details of costs or responsibilities that the customer may assume; such details will be evaluated for each specific request.

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.

Third parties must use certified equipment (both behind the meter and on the distribution grid) when attempting to interconnect new components to the grid. Certified equipment is equipment that has passed through rigorous certification testing procedures done by Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratories (NRTLs); UL is one such example. NRTLs create testing procedures for equipment that verify equipment functionality and safety to pre-set testing standards created by nationally recognized engineering groups such as IEEE.

The document applies to stand-alone rechargeable electric lighting appliances or kits that can be installed by a typical user without employing a technician. This technical specification presents a quality assurance framework that includes product specifications a framework for interpreting test results test methods and standardized specifications sheets templates for communicating test results.

The standard applies to a micro power plant which is the electric energy generation subsystem associated with a decentralized rural electrification system. It provides general requirements for the design, erection and operation of micro power plants and general requirements to ensure the safety of persons and property. The plants covered by this specification are low-voltage AC, three- or single-phase, with rated capacity less than or equal to 100 kVA.

The standard specifies the general requirements for the design and the implementation of micro grids used in decentralized rural electrification to ensure the safety of persons and property and their satisfactory operation according to the scheduled use.

The scope of this NWIP is to prepare normative documents on safety dealing with: 1) main risks related to couples of use cases and associated technologies; 2) technical contents and results to be included in the safety report and auditing framework; 3) list of main features to be validated by testing; 4) scale at which the storage system must be tested; and 5) recommendations to prevent or mitigate accidental effect.

The ISO 9000 family addresses various aspects of quality management and contains some of ISO’s best known standards. The standards provide guidance and tools for companies and organizations who want to ensure that their products and services consistently meet customer’s requirements, and that quality is consistently improved.

NFPA 791 covers recommended procedures for evaluating unlabeled electrical equipment for compliance with nationally recognized standards. Criteria provide guidance to third-party field evaluation bodies (FEBs) on how to perform evaluations of unlabeled electrical equipment in a consistent and reliable manner, thus assisting regulating authorities who make product and related installation approval decisions and facilitating acceptance of the results. Specific areas covered include pre-site preparation, construction inspection, electrical testing, and reporting, and documentation.

1.1 This Standard applies to emergency lighting and power equipment for use in unclassified locations and intended for connection to branch circuits 600 V or less. Intended to supply illumination, power or both automatically to critical areas and equipment in the event of failure of normal supply in accordance with NEC Article 700 or 701, NFPA 70, Life Safety Code, NFPA 101, Fire Code, NFPA 1, International Building Code (IBC) and International Fire Code (IFC).
