Scope

This part of ISO 8528 specifies test methods for the characteristics of an entire generating set. Existing test methods for the engine (ISO 3046-2 and used for those components. The generating set manufacturer is responsible for specifying these characteristics and the tests to be performed. 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 (for example, essential hospital supplies, high-rise buildings, etc.) supplementary requirements may be necessary. The provisions of this part of ISO 8528 should be regarded as a basis. For a.c. generating sets driven by other reciprocating type prime movers (e.g. sewage gas engines, steam engines) this part of ISO 8528 should be used as a basis. IEC 947-1:1988, Low-voltage switchgear and controlgear — Part 1: General rules. 3 Other regulations and additional requirements 3.1 For a.c. generating sets used on board ships and offshore installations which have to comply with rules of a classification society, the additional requirements of the classification society shall be observed. The classification society shall be stated by the customer prior to placing of the order. For a.c. generating sets operating in non-classed equipment, such additional requirements are in each case subject to agreement between the manufacturer and customer. 3.2 If special requirements from regulations of any other authority (e.g. inspecting and/or legislative authorities) have to be met, the authority shall be stated by the customer prior to placing of the order. Any further additional requirements shall be subject to agreement between the manufacturer and customer.
