New BAS standardization documents from the field of low-voltage electrical installations

The Institute for Standardization of Bosnia and Herzegovina, through its Technical Committee BAS/TC 19, Electrical installations in buildings, adopted, by translation method, the following standardization documents from the field of low-voltage electrical installations:

Harmonized Document BAS HD 60364-5-551: 2018 and its Amendment BAS HD 60364-5-551/A11: 2018, Low-voltage electrical installations - Part 5-55: Selection and erection of electrical equipment - Other equipment - Clause 551: Low-voltage generating sets

This Harmonized document provides the requirements for the selection and erection of low-voltage and extra low-voltage generator sets intended to supply, either continuously or occasionally, all or part of the installation and include the requirements for installations with the following supply arrangements:

  • supply to an installation which is not connected to a system for distribution of electricity to the public;
  • supply to an installation as an alternative to a system for distribution of electricity to the public;
  • supply to an installation in parallel with a system for distribution of electricity to the public supply;
  • appropriate combinations of the above.

 

This part does not apply to self-contained items of extra-low voltage electrical equipment which incorporate both the source of energy and the energy-using load and for which a specific product standard exists that includes the requirements for electrical safety.

 

Amendment BAS HD 60364-5-51/A12: 2018, Electrical installations in buildings - Part 5 - 51: Selection and erection of electrical equipment - General rules, which  withdraws and replace Amandment BAS HD 60364-5-51/A12: 2018, Electrical installations in buildings - Part 5-51: Selection and erection of electrical equipment - General rules. This amendment contains the Amendments to the Annex ZB Clause 511.1

 

Harmonized document BAS HD 60364-5-534: 2018, Low voltage electrical installations - Part 5-53: Selection and erection of electrical equipment - Isolation, switching and control - Clause 534: Devices for protection against transient overvoltages contains provisions for the application of voltage limitation in order to obtain insulation coordination in the cases described in HD 60364-4-44, EN 60664-1, EN 62305-1, EN 62305-4 and CLC/TS 61643-12. This clause focuses mainly on the requirements for the selection and erection of SPDs for protection against overvoltages where required by IEC 60364-4-44: 2007, clause 443, the EN 62305 series or, as otherwise specified.

 

Harmonized document BAS HD 60364-5-557: 2018, Low voltage electrical installations - Part 5-557: Selection and erection of electrical equipment - Auxiliary circuits. This clause applies to auxiliary circuits, except those covered by specific products or systems standards.
