What is BS EN IEC 62962-Requirements for load-shedding equipment about?
BS EN IEC 62962 discusses load-shedding equipment (LSE).
BS EN IEC 62962 provides requirements for equipment to be used in energy efficiency systems. BS EN IEC 62962 is applicable to LSE for household and similar uses. The load-shedding function is used in energy management systems to optimize the overall use of electrical energy including production and storage. The main objective of BS EN IEC 62962 is to ensure LSEs provide the required level of service and safety for efficient electrical consumption.
BS EN IEC 62962 is applicable to LSE for operation under normal conditions:
- AC circuits with a rated frequency of 50 Hz, 60 Hz or both, with a rated voltage not exceeding 440 V (between phases), a rated current not exceeding 125 A and a rated short-circuit capacity not exceeding 25 000 A
- DC circuits
Who is BS EN IEC 62962- Requirements for LSE for?
BS EN IEC 62962 on LSE is applicable to:
- LSE manufacturers and suppliers
- LSE product designers
- Electrical engineers
- Electricity grid management authorities for residential spaces
Why should you use BS EN IEC 62962- Requirements for LSE?
The LSE is an equipment able to respond to the monitored current or power, or alternative monitored parameters to switch ON and OFF selected loads when certain conditions are met. The optimization of electrical energy usage can be facilitated by appropriate LSE design and installation considerations. BS EN IEC 62962 provides general requirement of design procedures that can help you design and manufacture energy-efficient LSE.
BS EN IEC 62962 provides guidelines for LSE which is used for:
- A single piece of equipment having all the necessary means able to control the loads
- A unit integrated into more complex equipment or independent equipment being part of an electrical energy management system (EEMS)
- An assembly of independent equipment forming an LSE
- As a combination of the above points
BS EN IEC 62962 helps you optimize on energy efficient practices that are based on the price of electricity, electrical consumption, and real-time adaptation. Energy conservation with the best electrical engineering practices in compliance with BS EN IEC 62962 can ultimately help optimize the overall use of electrical energy including production and storage. Moreover, you can avoid disruptions arising from incidents of line tripping and equipment damage.
