IEC 60364-8-2:2018 provides additional requirements, measures and recommendations for design, erection and verification of all types of low-voltage electrical installation according to IEC 60364-1:2005, Clause 11, including local production and/or storage of energy in order to ensure compatibility with the existing and future ways to deliver electrical energy to current-using equipment or to the public network by means of local sources. Such electrical installations are designated as prosumer’s electrical installations (PEIs).
This document also provides requirements for proper behaviour and actions of PEIs in order to efficiently obtain sustainable and safe operations of these installations when integrated into smart grids.
These requirements and recommendations apply, within the scope of IEC 60364 (all parts), for new installations and modification of existing installations.
