This European Standard specifies technical requirements for the protection functions and the operational capabilities of micro-generating plants, designed for operation in parallel with public low-voltage distribution networks.<\/p>\n

This European Standard applies irrespectively of the micro-generating plants\u2019 primary source of energy, where micro-generation refers to equipment with nominal currents up to and including 16 A per phase, single or multi phase 230\/400 V or multi phase 230 V (phase-to-phase nominal voltage).<\/p>\n

For practical reasons, this European Standard refers to the distribution system operator in case settings have to be defined and\/or provided, even when these settings are to be defined and\/or provided by another actor according to national and European legal framework.<\/p>\n

\n
\n NOTE 1\n <\/div>\n

This includes European network codes and their national implementation, as well as further national regulations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n NOTE 2\n <\/div>\n

Further national requirements especially for the connection to the grid and the operation of the micro-generator can apply as long as they are not in conflict with this EN.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

In some countries, this document may be applied to generators with higher nominal currents used mostly in domestic and small commercial installations. These countries are listed in Annex G<\/span>.<\/p>\n

The provisions of this European Standard are not intended to ensure by themselves the safety of DSO personnel or their contracted parties.<\/p>\n

The following aspects are included in the scope:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • \n

    all micro-generation technologies are applicable.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    The following aspects are excluded from the scope:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • \n

      multiple units that for one installation, in aggregate, exceed 16 A;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      issues of revenue rebalancing, metering or other commercial matters;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      requirements related to the primary energy source e.g. matters related to gas fired generator units;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      island operation of generating plants, both intentional and unintentional, where no part of the public distribution network is involved;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      active front ends of drives feeding energy back into the distribution network for short duration.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
