16、by Power Systems2010 EditionThis edition of NFPA 110, Standard for Emergency and Standby Power Systems, was prepared bythe Technical Committee on Emergency Power Supplies and released by the Technical Cor-relating Committee on National Electrical Code. It was issued by the Standards Council onAugust

17、 6, 2009, with an effective date of August 26, 2009, and supersedes all previous editions.A tentative interim amendment (TIA) to 7.13.4.1.3(1) and 7.13.4.3.4 was issued on August 6,2009. For further information on tentative interim amendments, see Section 5 of the NFPA Regu-lations Governing Committ

18、ee Projects available at: http:/www.nfpa.org/assets/files/PDF/CodesStandards/TIAErrataFI/TIARegs.pdfThis edition of NFPA 110 was approved as an American National Standard on August 26, 2009.Origin and Development of NFPA 110The Technical Committee on Emergency Power Supplies was organized in 1976 by

19、 NFPAin recognition of the demand for viable guidelines for the assembly, installation, and perfor-mance of electrical power systems to supply critical and essential needs during outages of theprimary power source. It was the intent of the committee to establish the necessary equipmentrequirements t

20、o achieve an on-site auxiliary electrical power source suitable to the needs ofthe applicable requirements and user criteria.In 1979, the committees report proposing adoption of NFPA 110 was published but with-drawn because of issues involving the scope of the committee. In 1981, a revised committee

21、report was returned to committee to resolve differences with other NFPA documents. At the1982 NFPA Fall Meeting, the committees report was adopted as a tentative standard(NFPA 110T-1983) in order to expose the document to as much public review as possible.NFPA 110 was formally adopted as a standard

22、at the 1984 NFPA Fall Meeting and designated asthe 1985 edition. The 1985 edition clarified scope statements, prototype testing, battery andbypass-isolation switch requirements, and revised maintenance requirements.The requirements of the standard are considered necessary to obtain the minimum level

23、 ofreliability and performance, particularly where life safety electrical power needs are involved.The standard does not require the installation of emergency and standby power supplysystems. Rather, it is a document that, if followed, results in a system suitable for varioussituations as required b

24、y other codes and standards.The 1988 edition of NFPA 110 included several new definitions and further clarified trans-fer switch and installation testing requirements.The 1993 edition of NFPA 110 revised the document to reflect (1) the adoption by NFPA of anew document on stored electrical energy em

25、ergency and standby power systems (NFPA 111,Standard on Stored Electrical Energy Emergency and Standby Power Systems), (2) a basic requirement forone-step loading for all prime movers, (3) an update on battery technology, (4) restrictions onunnecessary transferring of loads, and (5) the need for bat

26、tery maintenance.The 1996 edition of NFPA 110 included, but was not limited to, the following changes:monthly load testing requirements for generator sets were changed, including taking intoconsideration wet stacking; definitions were added for various kinds of fuel tanks; types of fueltanks and spi

27、llage considerations were added; restrictions on the types of batteries that can beused were added; the minimum number of cranks, including time-outs, that an engine mustbe capable of completing was clarified; cooling system requirements were clarified; workingspace requirements were added; and the

28、issue of timing devices in health care facilities fortesting a generator was clarified.The 1999 edition was changed by the deletion of the testing of generator sets at 50 percentof the emergency power supply system (EPSS) load because the relevant measure is thenameplate rating. That edition also de

29、leted the exception for wet stacking. Exhaust tempera-ture monitoring was added, because it is an acceptable performance measure of properemergency power supply (EPS) loading.1101NFPA and National Fire Protection Association are registered trademarks of the National Fire Protection Association, Quin

30、cy, Massachusetts 02169.The 2002 edition included format and technical revisions. The 2000 edition of the Manual of Style for NFPA TechnicalCommittee Documents was applied in this documents restructure and format. Introductory material in Chapter 1 wasformatted for consistency among all NFPA documen

31、ts. Referenced publications that apply to the document wererelocated from the last chapter to Chapter 2, resulting in the renumbering of chapters. Informational referencesremained in the last annex. Appendices were designated as annexes. Definitions in Chapter 3 were reviewed forconsistency with def

32、initions in other NFPA documents, systematically aligned, and individually numbered. Paragraphstructuring was revised with the intent of one mandatory requirement per section, subsection, or paragraph. Informa-tion that often accompanied many of the requirements was moved to Annex A, Explanatory Mat

33、erial. Exceptions weredeleted or rephrased in mandatory text, unless the exception represented an allowance or required an alternateprocedure to a general rule when limited specified conditions existed. The format appearance and structure providedcontinuity among NFPA documents, clarity of mandatory

34、 text, and greater ease in locating specific mandatory text.Changes in the 2002 edition of NFPA 110 included definitive and broad-based requirements regarding electricalinstallations in accordance with NFPA 70, National Electrical Code; additional EPS controls and safeguards, such asalerting staff o

35、f impending failure of the EPS to start; access and working space around the generator set; ventilation;energy converters; and EPSS testing requirements.Changes in the 2005 edition of NFPA 110 included electrical installations in accordance with NFPA 70, NationalElectrical Code; revised clearance di

36、stances between transfer switches and service equipment; revision of the definitionsfor both lead-acid (flooded) and valve-regulated lead-acid (VRLA) batteries; and changes in the testing and mainte-nance section to include testing for spark-ignited engines that parallels those for diesel. Changes f

37、or the 2005 editionalso included new annex material for diesel fuel testing and maintenance procedures, as well as transfer switches.Significant revisions to the 2010 edition include the following:(1) Clarification that the standard is intended to apply to those EPSSs classed as either Level 1 or Le

38、vel 2 systems.Applying the requirements of this standard to systems classed as optional standby is not mandatory.(2) Revision of the application section to indicate that the operation testing and routine maintenance requirementsof Chapter 8 cover new and existing EPSSs.(3) Revisions to the definitio

39、ns of Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) and Nonautomatic Transfer Switch for consistencywith NFPA 111, Standard on Stored Electrical Energy Emergency and Standby Power Systems, and for correlation withrelevant product standards covering the construction of transfer switches.(4) Revisions to the requir

40、ements of Chapter 7 for acceptance testing that distinguish what is required for new andunoccupied buildings and facilities versus the requirements for existing occupied buildings and facilities. Inaddition, requirements for test duration, step-testing intervals, and required documentation have been

41、 modified.(5) Revisions to the requirements of Chapter 8 on operational test durations for diesel and spark-ignited primemovers. In addition, the 36-month test requirement has been revised to clarify the maximum duration, theminimum acceptable EPS loading or operating condition, and the method of te
