IEC TS 62548:2013 PDF Download

The design specifications for solar arrays are laid forth in the IEC TS 62548:2013 standard. It covers a number of topics, including designing the wiring for d.c. arrays, installing electrical protection devices, providing switching mechanisms, and putting earthing practices in place. The standard focuses on photovoltaic system-specific design safety criteria.

The standard is applicable to all PV array parts, with the exception of loads, energy storage systems, and power conversion tools. Its goal is to guarantee secure design procedures that account for the special features of photovoltaic systems. It is important to note that once it is released, a new project being worked on by IEC TCs 64 and 82 in the IEC 60364 series is anticipated to replace and supersede this technical specification.
