Reciprocating internal combustion engine driven alternating current generating sets - Part 5: Generating sets

This document specifies design and performance criteria arising out of the combination of a reciprocating internal combustion (RIC) engine and an alternating current (AC) generator when operating as a unit. This unit can run in parallel to the grid or not.This document applies to AC generating sets driven by 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 apply. The provisions of this document are a basis for establishing any supplementary requirements.For generating sets driven by other reciprocating-type prime movers (e.g. steam engines), the provisions of this document can be used as a basis for establishing these 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.
