AS IEC 61400.2-2013

This Standard deals with safety philosophy, quality assurance, and engineering integrity and specifies requirements for the safety of Small Wind Turbines (SWTs) including design, installation, maintenance and operation under specified external conditions. Its purpose is to provide the appropriate level of protection against damage from hazards from these systems during their planned lifetime.

This part of IEC 61400 deals with safety philosophy, quality assurance, and engineeringintegrity and specifies requirements for the safety of Small Wind Turbines (SWTs) includingdesign, installation, maintenance and operation under specified external conditions. Itspurpose is to provide the appropriate level of protection against damage from hazards fromthese systems during their planned lifetime.This part of IEC 61400 is concerned with all subsystems of SWT such as protectionmechanisms, internal electrical systems, mechanical systems, support structures, foundationsand the electrical interconnection with the load.While this part of IEC 61400 is similar to IEC 61400-1, it does simplify and make significantchanges in order to be applicable to small turbines.This part of IEC 61400 applies to wind turbines with a rotor swept area smaller than 200 m2,generating at a voltage below 1 000 V a.c. or 1 500 V d.c.This part of IEC 61400 should be used together with the appropriate IEC and ISO standards(see Clause 2).
