Reciprocating internal combustion engine driven alternating current generating sets - Part 13: Safety (ISO 8528-13:2016, Corrected version 2016-10-15); German version EN ISO 8528-13:2016

2Scope / Description

This part of ISO 8528 specifies the safety requirements for reciprocating internal combustion (RIC) generating sets up to 1000 V, consisting of a reciprocating internal combustion engine, an AC generator, and the additional equipment necessary for operation, such as control and switching devices and auxiliary equipment. It applies to generating sets for land and marine use (domestic, recreational, and industrial applications), but not to generating sets used on board ocean-going vessels and mobile offshore installations, in aircraft, or for powering road vehicles and locomotives. The specific requirements necessary to cover operation in potentially explosive atmospheres are not addressed in this part of ISO 8528. The hazards relating to reciprocating internal combustion engine generating sets are specified in Annex A. This part of ISO 8528 addresses the specific testing and safety-related design requirements that should be observed in addition to the definitions and requirements set out in ISO 8528-1, ISO 8528-2, ISO 8528-3, ISO 8528-4, ISO 8528-5, and ISO 8528-6, where applicable. It establishes safety requirements to protect the user from hazards.
