IEC 60364-7-712 Ed. 3.0 b:2025 ✓ Most Recent

IEC 60364-7-712:2025 The particular requirements of this part of IEC 60364 apply to electrical installations of PV systems. The equipment of a PV system, like any other item of equipment, is dealt with only so far as its selection and application in the installation is concerned. A PV installation comprises all equipment from PV modules(s) up to the connection point to other parts of the installation, for example a distribution board or the utility supply point (point of connection). This part of IEC 60364 includes requirements on electrical installation resulting from the installation of PV power supply installations. Requirements relating to the possible installation of energy storage systems (e.g. batteries) are included. Requirements are also included for PV installations for island mode operation described in IEC 60364-8-82. NOTE 1 The abbreviated term "PV" is used for "photovoltaic". Photovoltaic installations are, hereafter, referred to as PV installations. NOTE 2 Additional requirements for PV systems floating on water are under development.
