IEEE 446 1995 Edition, December 12, 1995 Recommended Practice for Emergency and Standby Power Systems for Industrial and Commercial Applications
More info
Description / Abstract:
This standard presents recommended engineering principles,
practices, and guidelines for the selection, design, installation,
application, operation, and maintenance of emergency and standby
power systems. This information is primarily presented from a
user's viewpoint; however, managing the effects of power system
disturbances requires close cooperation between users, electric
utilities, and equipment manufacturers.
This standard addresses the following questions:
— Is an emergency or standby power system (or both) needed, and what will it accomplish?
— What types of systems are available, and which can best meet the users' needs?
— How should the most suitable system be designed and applied to the existing power system?
— What are the maintenance and operating requirements for maintaining system reliability?
— Where can additional information be obtained?
— What are the design considerations for maintaining system reliability?
Definitions to specialized technical terms used throughout this standard are provided in Chapter 2. Emergency and standby power requirements of both industrial and commercial users are outlined and discussed, including a distinction made between mandatory laws, regulations, codes, and standards applicable to each. Knowledge of these requirements enables electric utility companies to meet specific power supply needs and equipment manufacturers to design efficient, practical, and reliable equipment and systems. Recommendations are made for various types of installations, based on technical and economic information on available hardware and systems provided by equipment manufacturers.
Technical guidelines for protecting and grounding emergency and standby power systems are presented in Chapter 6 and Chapter 7, respectively. Guidelines for the maintenance of specific types of equipment are presented in Chapter 8. Chapter 9 provides information on applications of emergency and standby power for specific industries. Chapter 10 presents design and operation guidelines that will improve emergency and standby power system reliability.
The following industries and fields are considered specialized and beyond the scope of inclusion and direct address by this standard: transport, government, military, and utility.
