General Information

Abstract

This part of IEC 61400 deals with safety philosophy, quality assurance, and engineering
integrity and specifies requirements for the safety of small wind turbines (SWTs) including
design, installation, maintenance and operation under specified external conditions. Its
purpose is to provide the appropriate level of protection against damage from hazards from
these systems during their planned lifetime.
This standard is concerned with all subsystems of SWTs such as protection mechanisms,
internal electrical systems, mechanical systems, support structures, foundations and the
electrical interconnection with the load. A small wind turbine system includes the wind turbine
itself including support structures, the turbine controller, the charge controller / inverter (if
required), wiring and disconnects, the installation and operation manual(s) and other
documentation.
While this standard is similar to IEC 61400-1, it does simplify and make significant changes in
order to be applicable to small wind turbines. Any of the requirements of this standard may be
altered if it can be suitably demonstrated that the safety of the turbine system is not
compromised. This provision, however, does not apply to the classification and the associated
definitions of external conditions in Clause 6. Compliance with this standard does not relieve
any person, organisation, or corporation from the responsibility of observing other applicable
regulations.
This standard applies to wind turbines with a rotor swept area smaller than or equal to
200 m2, generating electricity at a voltage below 1 000 V a.c. or 1 500 V d.c. for both on-grid
and off-grid applications.
This standard should be used together with the appropriate IEC and ISO standards (see
Clause 2).
