What is PD IEC TS 61200‑102 about?
PD IEC TS 61200 discusses the electrical installations. PD IEC TS 61200‑102 applies to low-voltage DC electrical installations entirely supplied by local power sources and having a nominal voltage lower or equal to the low-voltage limit. These installations can be connected to collective or shared private electrical installations.
PD IEC TS 61200‑102 also applies to DC installations according to use cases TIER 2 and TIER 3 of the World Bank defined in ESMAP 008/15 report: Beyond Connections Energy Access Redefined.
Who is PD IEC TS 61200‑102 for?
PD IEC TS 61200‑102 on electrical installation guide is useful for:
- Government Agencies
- Electrical Engineers
- Electrician
- Contractors
- Utility providers
Why should you use PD IEC TS 61200‑102?
Many people in the world who still have no access to electricity would benefit from access to electrical power. This can now be achieved with distributed electrical sources using renewable energy. These electrical sources using renewable energy are all operating in direct current (e.g. a photovoltaic system, wind turbines). Supply from these renewable energies is not constant, photovoltaic panels do not operate at night, and wind turbines require wind for generating electrical energy. Therefore, the use of storage units becomes a necessity and manufacturers of stationary secondary batteries are investing in these technologies so that they can become affordable. In addition, lighting with light-emitting diodes (LED), mobile phones and other electronic devices generally operate using direct current.
PD IEC TS 61200‑102 provides you with all the requirements and recommendations for low-voltage DC electrical installations entirely supplied by local power sources. PD IEC TS 61200‑102 guides you with local power sources load, wiring systems, earthing, protection for safety and guides you on inspection. PD IEC TS 61200‑102 with help you smooth and safe installation of these electrical installations.
