2Scope / Description
This part of ISO 8528 specifies the safety requirements for power generating sets with reciprocating internal combustion engines (RIC) up to 1000 V, which consist of a reciprocating internal combustion engine, an alternator, including the additional equipment required for operation, e.g . B. Operating and switching devices, auxiliary equipment. It applies to power generation units for land and ship use (domestic use, recreational use and industrial applications), but not to power generation units used on board ocean-going ships and mobile offshore installations as well as in aircraft or to drive road vehicles and locomotives . NOTE This part of ISO 8528 does not apply to arc welding equipment (IEC 60974 series). The specific requirements necessary to cover operations in hazardous areas are not addressed in this part of ISO 8528. The hazards relating to power generation units with reciprocating internal combustion engines are set out in Annex A. This part of ISO 8528 covers the special testing and safety implementation requirements that are in addition to those in ISO 8528-1, ISO 8528-2, ISO 8528-3, ISO 8528-4, ISO 8528-5 and ISO 8528- The definitions and requirements set out in Section 6 should be followed, where applicable. It specifies safety requirements to protect the user from danger.
