(Amendment)Low-voltage electrical installations - Part 8-2: Prosumer's low-voltage electrical installations
Low-voltage electrical installations - Part 8-2: Prosumer's low-voltage electrical installations
This part of IEC 60364 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 currentusing
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.
NOTE Electrical sources for safety services including associated electrical installations and standby electrical
supply systems for a secure continuity of supply, which are operated only occasionally and for short periods (e.g.
monthly one hour) in parallel with the distribution grid for testing purposes, are outside the scope of this document.

Nizkonapetostne električne inštalacije - 8-2. del: Električne inštalacije proizvajalcev-odjemalcev - Dopolnilo A11
Ta del standarda IEC 60364 določa dodatne zahteve, ukrepe in priporočila za načrtovanje, postavitev in preverjanje vseh vrst nizkonapetostnih električnih inštalacij v skladu s standardom IEC 60364-1:2005, točka 11, vključno z lokalno proizvodnjo in/ali shranjevanjem energije za zagotavljanje združljivosti z obstoječimi in prihodnjimi načini prenosa električne energije do električnega porabnika ali javnega omrežja prek lokalnih virov. Takšne električne inštalacije so zasnovane kot električne inštalacije aktivnih odjemalcev (PEI).
Ta dokument prav tako določa zahteve za ustrezno ravnanje in delovanje električnih inštalacij aktivnih odjemalcev za učinkovito zagotovitev trajnostnega in varnega delovanja teh inštalacij, kadar so integrirane v pametna omrežja.
Te zahteve in priporočila veljajo, v okviru skupine standarda IEC 60364 (vsi deli), za nove inštalacije in spremembe obstoječih inštalacij.
OPOMBA: Viri električne energije za varnostno napajanje, vključno s povezanimi električnimi inštalacijami in pomožnimi napajalnimi sistemi za varno neprekinjeno napajanje, ki delujejo samo občasno in krajše obdobje (npr. eno uro mesečno) vzporedno z distribucijskim omrežjem za preskusne namene, so zunaj področja uporabe tega dokumenta.

Overview
SIST HD 60364-8-2:2019/A11:2019 is a significant amendment to the European standard that addresses low-voltage electrical installations designed specifically for prosumers-those who both produce and consume electrical energy. This standard, published by the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization (CENELEC), builds upon HD 60364-8-2:2018, incorporating updates that reflect the evolving needs of prosumer installations integrating combined generation and consumption systems. The amendment was approved in 2019 and applies to installations connected to low-voltage electricity supply systems, facilitating safer, more efficient, and harmonized electrical setups across European member states.
Key Topics
This amendment focuses on several critical aspects related to prosumer low-voltage electrical installations:
Combined Generation and Consumption Systems
The standard provides guidelines for electrical installations that integrate both energy generation (such as photovoltaic solar panels or other micro-generation sources) and energy consumption within a single low-voltage system.System Earthing and Protection Measures
Detailed provisions address system earthing arrangements to ensure safety in all operation modes. Special attention is given to maintaining the correct earthing system under various connection scenarios, including temporary and independent supply setups.National Specific Provisions
Recognizing diverse national regulations, the amendment includes special national conditions that accommodate local practices, such as differing legal frameworks in Austria, Norway, and Portugal for collective protective earth installations (PEI).Safety against Electric Shock and Overvoltages
It refers to related standards and clauses like IEC 60364-4-41 and IEC 60364-4-43 to guarantee protection against electric shock and voltage overcurrent, adapting these protections to the unique needs of prosumer installations.Harmonization and Compliance
CENELEC members must implement this amendment as a national standard without alterations, ensuring harmonized electrical safety requirements across the member countries.
Applications
The SIST HD 60364-8-2:2019/A11:2019 standard is essential for the design, installation, and operation of low-voltage electrical installations serving prosumers. Practical applications include:
Residential Buildings with Renewable Energy Systems
Homes equipped with solar panels, small wind turbines, or other generation sources that supply energy to the household while exporting surplus energy to the grid.Commercial and Industrial Facilities
Businesses implementing on-site generation to offset energy consumption or contribute excess power back to the local grid, enhancing sustainability and reducing energy costs.Microgrid and Local Energy Systems
Configurations where several generating sets and supply sources are interconnected, requiring strict earthing regulations and protection strategies to ensure system integrity and safety.Grid-Connected and Off-Grid Installations
The standard guides both grid-tied prosumer setups and those designed to operate independently, ensuring continuous compliance and safety.
Related Standards
SIST HD 60364-8-2:2019/A11:2019 references and aligns with a series of international and European standards to provide a comprehensive framework for electrical installations:
IEC 60364 Series
The foundational international standard series for low-voltage electrical installations, harmonized as HD 60364 in Europe.IEC 60364-4-41 & HD 60364-4-41
