IS/ISO 8528 : Part 1 : 2018 Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engine Driven Alternating Current Generating Sets - Part 1 Application, Ratings and Performance

Revised Standard from Last Update.

NATIONAL FOREWORD

This Indian Standard (Part 1) (First Revision) which is identical with ISO 8528-1 : 2018 ‘Reciprocating internal combustion engine driven alternating current generating sets — Part 1: Application, ratings and performance’ issued by International Organization for Standardization (ISO) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on recommendations of the Automotive Prime Movers, Transmission Systems and Internal Combustion Engines Sectional Committee and approval of the Transport Engineering Division Council.

This standard was originally published in 2012. The first revision of this standard has been undertaken to align it with ISO 8528-1 : 2018.

The major changes in this revision are as follows:

a) The new power ratings: DCP and MAX have been introduced; and

b) The 10 percent overload power in the prime power rating has been reintroduced.

This Indian Standard is published in several parts. The other parts in this series are:

Part 2 Engines

Part 3 Alternating current generators for generating sets

Part 4 Control gear and switch gear

Part 5 Generating sets

Part 6 Test methods

Part 7 Technical declaration for specification and design

Part 8 Requirements and tests for low-power generating sets

Part 9 Measurement and evaluation of mechanical vibration

Part 10 Measurement of airborne noise by the enveloping surface method

Part 12 Emergency power supply to safety services

The text of ISO Standard has been approved as suitable for publication as an Indian Standard without deviations. Certain terminologies and conventions are, however, not identical to those used in Indian Standards. Attention is particularly drawn to the following:

a) Wherever the words ‘International Standard’ appear referring to this standard, they should be read as ‘Indian Standard’.

b) Comma (,) has been used as a decimal marker, while in Indian Standards, the current practice is to use a point (.) as the decimal marker.
