Abstract

IEC TS 62257-7:2017 RLV contains both the official IEC International Standard and its Redline version. The Redline version is available in English only and provides you with a quick and easy way to compare all the changes between the official IEC Standard and its previous edition.

IEC TS 62257-7:2017 specifies the general requirements for the generators in decentralized rural electrification systems. This document is a general introduction followed by more specific documents dedicated to the generation technologies which are the most currently used in rural electrification projects. This new edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: removed the word “small” from the description of the PV systems, and removed the power limit (100 kVA); increased the relevant voltage levels to 1 000 V (AC) and 1 500 V (DC).
