(UL).
23、This standard has been approved by the American National Standards Institute as an American NationalStandard.Note: Although the intended primary application of this standard is stated in its scope, it is important to note that it remainsthe responsibility of the users of the standard to judge its su
24、itability for their particular purpose.UL effective dateAs of January 2, 2013 all products Listed or Recognized by UL must comply with the requirements in thisstandard.A UL effective date is established by Underwriters Laboratories Inc. and is not part of the ANSI approvedstandard.NOVEMBER 30, 2012
25、SMALL WIND TURBINE SYSTEMS - UL 6142 5UL COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL NOT AUTHORIZED FOR FURTHER REPRODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM ULSMALL WIND TURBINE SYSTEMSINTRODUCTION1 Scope1.1 These requirements cover small wind turbine systems (WT) and electrical subassemblies. Withrespect to this
26、standard, small WT are considered to be wind turbines where a user or service personcannot or is not intended to enter the turbine to operate it or perform maintenance. These units areintended for use in stand-alone (not grid-connected) or utility interactive applications. Utility-interactive,grid-t
27、ied WT are operated in parallel with an electric power system (EPS) to supply power to commonloads.1.2 The WT power, control and protection systems are evaluated only to the extent that they functionwithin the manufacturers specified limits and response times. These control and protection functions
28、areevaluated with respect to risk of electric shock and fire. It is intended that the electrical subassemblies thataddress power transfer control and protection functions evaluated per this document are to be coordinatedwith the mechanical and structural limitations specified in AWEA 9.1, Small Wind
29、 Turbine Performanceand Safety Standard, the IEC 61400 series documents, or Germanischer Lloyd: Guideline for theCertification of Wind Turbines documents.1.3 These requirements do not cover:a) WT generating systems intended for off-shore installation.b) WT generating systems intended for hazardous l
30、ocations;c) Mechanical or structural integrity of the WT system or subassemblies;d) Verification that the manufacturer-defined controls and protection limits maintain the WTsystem within its safe mechanical and structural limits;e) Mechanical loading of ladders, hoist supports, elevator mounting mea
31、ns, scaffolding,personnel tie offs, or other personnel load-bearing functional parts.1.4 The wind turbine products covered by these requirements are intended to be installed in accordancewith the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.1.5 The evaluation of products to this standard includes evaluati
32、on of all features and functionsincorporated in or available for the turbine, or referred to in the documentation provided with the turbine,if these features or functions can affect compliance of the product with this standard.1.6 Turbines where a user or service person is intended or required to en
33、ter the turbine to operate orperform maintenance on the turbine are considered to be large wind turbine systems and are covered inthe Outline of Investigation for Wind Turbine Generating Systems, UL 6140.NOVEMBER 30, 2012SMALL WIND TURBINE SYSTEMS - UL 61426UL COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL NOT AUTHORIZED FOR

See Appendix A for
35、 a list of standards covering components usedin the products covered by this standard. See also Section 4, Special Components and Subassemblies ofWT.2.1.2 A component is not required to comply with a specific requirement that:a) Involves a feature or characteristic not required in the application of
36、 the component in theproduct covered by this standard, orb) Is superseded by a requirement in this standard.2.1.3 A component shall be used in accordance with its rating established for the intended conditions ofuse.2.1.4 Specific components are incomplete in construction features or restricted in p
37、erformancecapabilities. Such components are intended for use only under limited conditions, such as certaintemperatures not exceeding specified limits, and shall be used only under those specific conditions.2.1.5 Components and subassemblies of the overall WT shall be evaluated and found suitable fo
38、r theiroperation over the rated normal operating range of electrical and environmental conditions per the WTmanufacturers specifications. These components and subassemblies shall also perform per themanufacturers specifications during defined abnormal conditions, such as turbine shut down andabnorma
