Reciprocating internal combustion engine driven alternating current generating sets - Part 4: Controlgear and switchgear

This document specifies the criteria for controlgear and switchgear for generating sets with reciprocating internal combustion engines.

This document applies to alternating current (a.c.) generating sets driven by reciprocating internal combustion (RIC) engines for land and marine use excluding generating sets used on aircraft or to propel land vehicles and locomotives.

For some specific applications (e.g. essential hospital supplies and high-rise buildings), supplementary requirements can be necessary. The provisions of this document serve as a basis for establishing any supplementary requirements.

For generating sets driven by other prime movers (e.g. steam engines), this document serves as a basis for establishing requirements.

ISO 8528-4:2005 specifies the criteria for controlgear and switchgear for generating sets with reciprocating internal combustion engines. It applies to Alternating Current (a.c.) generating sets driven by Reciprocating Internal Combustion (RIC) engines for land and marine use excluding generating sets used on aircraft or to propel land vehicles and locomotives. For some specific applications (e.g. essential hospital supplies and high-rise buildings), supplementary requirements may be necessary. The provisions of ISO 8528-4:2005 should be regarded as a basis for establishing any supplementary requirements.

ZOOM ON ... the Requirements department

To comply with a standard, you need to quickly understand its issues in order to determine its impact on your activity.

The Requirements department helps you quickly locate within the normative text:
- mandatory clauses to satisfy,
- non-essential but useful clauses to know, such as permissions and recommendations.

The identification of these types of clauses is based on the document “ISO / IEC Directives, Part 2 - Principles and rules of structure and drafting of ISO documents ”as well as on a constantly enriched list of verbal forms.
