Classification Typical examples
The mains voltage drops below the rated voltage by more than 10 %.
After a changeover time of 0 s the power for the consumer power demand for safe-

ty services shall be available. The design of the no-break generating sets depends
on the required frequency and voltage deviations.
The mains voltage drops below the rated voltage by more than 10 %.
After a changeover time of 0,5 s the power for the consumer power demand for
2
safety services shall be available. The design of the short-break generation set
depends on the required frequency and voltage deviations.
The mains voltage drops below the rated voltage by more than 10 % for a period
longer than 0,5 s.

After a changeover time of maximum 15 s, power for 100 % of the consumer power
demand for safety services shall be available in steps.
The mains voltage drops below the rated voltage by more than 10 % for a period
longer than 0,5 s.
4
After a changeover time of maximum 15 s, power for 80 % of the consumer power
demand for safety services shall be available in two steps, and the power for 100 %
of the consumer demand shall be available after an additional 5 s has passed.
6 Gener ating set design
6.1 Crit eria for determining the required power
To ensure a reliable supply of electrical power by the generating set, the generating set manufacturer
shall be informed of the power requirements of the installations to be supplied.
The power requirements shall include short load peaks when switching in electrical installations (e.g.
lifts, pumps, fans, lighting equipment and nonlinear electrical installations). Where applicable, for
example for reasons of redundancy, the use of several generating sets operating in parallel will possibly
be required.
Since many modern RIC engines are turbocharged, it will be necessary to arrange load acceptance in
several steps.
For load acceptance, the definitions and values laid down in ISO 8528-5:2022, 8.4, Figure 5 and Figure 6
apply, where the load acceptance capability of the generating set is shown to be dependent on the brake
mean effective pressure of the RIC engine.
If larger steps are used than those recommended in ISO 8528-5:2022, Figure 5 and Figure 6, either
suitable additional measures shall be taken or the generating set power rating and, where applicable,
the rotating mass of the flywheel shall be increased.

6.1 Crit eria for determining the required power
To ensure a reliable supply of electrical power by the generating set, the generating set manufacturer
shall be informed of the power requirements of the installations to be supplied.
The power requirements shall include short load peaks when switching in electrical installations (e.g.
lifts, pumps, fans, lighting equipment and nonlinear electrical installations). Where applicable, for
example for reasons of redundancy, the use of several generating sets operating in parallel will possibly
be required.
Since many modern RIC engines are turbocharged, it will be necessary to arrange load acceptance in
several steps.
For load acceptance, the definitions and values laid down in ISO 8528-5:2022, 8.4, Figure 5 and Figure 6
apply, where the load acceptance capability of the generating set is shown to be dependent on the brake
mean effective pressure of the RIC engine.
If larger steps are used than those recommended in ISO 8528-5:2022, Figure 5 and Figure 6, either
suitable additional measures shall be taken or the generating set power rating and, where applicable,
the rotating mass of the flywheel shall be increased.

Since many modern RIC engines are turbocharged, it will be necessary to arrange load acceptance in
several steps.
For load acceptance, the definitions and values laid down in ISO 8528-5:2022, Clause 8.4, Figure 5 and

Table 2 — Examples
Classification Typical examples
The mains voltage drops below the rated voltage by more than 10 %.
After a changeover time of 0 s the power for the consumer power demand for safe-
1
ty services shall be available. The design of the no-break generating sets depends
on the required frequency and voltage deviations.
The mains voltage drops below the rated voltage by more than 10 %.
After a changeover time of 0,5 s the power for the consumer power demand for
2
safety services shall be available. The design of the short-break generation set
depends on the required frequency and voltage deviations.
The mains voltage drops below the rated voltage by more than 10 % for a period
longer than 0,5 s.
3
After a changeover time of maximum 15 s, power for 100 % of the consumer power
demand for safety services shall be available in steps.
The mains voltage drops below the rated voltage by more than 10 % for a period
longer than 0,5 s.
4
After a changeover time of maximum 15 s, power for 80 % of the consumer power
demand for safety services shall be available in two steps, and the power for 100 %
of the consumer demand shall be available after an additional 5 s has passed.
6 Gener ating set design
6.1 Crit eria for determining the required power
To ensure a reliable supply of electrical power by the generating set, the generating set manufacturer
shall be informed of the power requirements of the installations to be supplied.
The power requirements shall include short load peaks when switching in electrical installations (e.g.
lifts, pumps, fans, lighting equipment and nonlinear electrical installations). Where applicable, for
example for reasons of redundancy, the use of several generating sets operating in parallel will possibly
be required.
Since many modern RIC engines are turbocharged, it will be necessary to arrange load acceptance in
several steps.
For load acceptance, the definitions and values laid down in ISO 8528-5:2022, 8.4, Figure 5 and Figure 6
apply, where the load acceptance capability of the generating set is shown to be dependent on the brake
mean effective pressure of the RIC engine.
If larger steps are used than those recommended in ISO 8528-5:2022, Figure 5 and Figure 6, either
suitable additional measures shall be taken or the generating set power rating and, where applicable,
the rotating mass of the flywheel shall be increased.
The information provided by the checklist in Clause 13 is recommended for designing the generating
set.
