Standard

This standard specifically applies to UPS with an electrical energy storage device in the DC link. It is used with IEC 60950-1, referred to in this standard as reference document (RD). It is applicable to UPS that are movable, stationary, fixed or for building-in, for use in low-voltage distribution systems and intended to be installed in any operator accessible area or in restricted access locations as applicable. It specifies requirements to ensure safety for the operator and layman who may come into contact with the equipment and, where specifically stated, for the service person.

This standard details methods for defining the DC loads and for sizing a Lead-Acid battery to supply those loads in full-float operation.

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.

Readiness of emergency power is a key consideration in safeguarding building occupants in the event of a disruption of the normal utility supply. NFPA 111 covers performance requirements for stored electric energy systems providing an alternate source of electrical power in buildings and facilities during interruption of the normal power source.

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).

1.1 These requirements cover fixed and location-dedicated electric room heating equipment rated 600 V or less to be employed in ordinary locations in accordance with the NEC, ANSI/NFPA 70. 1.2 These requirements do not cover movable heaters, wall- or ceiling-hung heaters, baseboard heaters, duct heaters, central-heating furnaces, fan-coil units, panel- or cable-type radiant-heating equipment, electric boilers, or any other electric heating equipment or appliances covered in or as a part of separate, individual requirements.

The standard sets out requirements for the design, construction and verification of electrical installations, including the selection and installation of electrical equipment forming part of such electrical installations. These requirements are intended to protect persons, livestock, and property from electric shock, fire and physical injury hazards that may arise from an electrical installation that is used with reasonable care and with due regard to the intended purpose of the electrical installation.

Specifies requirements for the installation of sealed secondary batteries permanently installed in buildings.

This Standard specifies the electrical installation requirements for inverter energy systems and grid protection devices with ratings up to 10 kVA for single-phase units, or up to 30 kVA for three-phase units, for the injection of electric power through an electrical installation to the electricity distribution network. NOTES: 1 Although this Standard does not apply to larger systems, similar principles can be used for the installation of such systems. 2 This Standard does not cover detailed installation requirements for the energy source(s) and its associated wiring.
