Annotation of standard text IEC 60364-7-712-ed.3.0 :
IEC 60364-7-712:2025 applies to electrical installations of PV systems. The equipment of a PV system, like any other item of equipment, is dealt with only so far as its selection and application in the installation is concerned. A PV installation comprises all equipment from PV modules(s) up to the connection point to other parts of the installation, for example a distribution board or the utility supply point (point of connection). This part of IEC 60364 includes requirements on electrical installation resulting from the installation of PV power supply installations. Requirements relating to the possible installation of energy storage systems (e.g. batteries) are included. Requirements are also included for PV installations for island mode operation described in IEC 60364-8-82. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2017. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: a) The technical content has been extensively revised and expanded, taking into account experience gained in the construction and operation of PV installations, and developments made in technology, since the second edition was published. b) Key changes include requirements for PV power generation plants, direct connection to battery circuits, introduction of DC bus circuit and DCUs. IEC 60364-7-712:2025 s’applique aux installations electriques des systemes PV. Les equipements d’un systeme PV, ainsi que tout autre element, ne sont traites que du point de vue de leur choix et mise en ouvre dans l’installation. Une installation photovoltaique comprend tous les equipements, depuis le ou les modules photovoltaiques jusqu’au point de connexion avec d’autres parties de l’installation (par exemple un tableau de repartition ou le point d’alimentation du reseau de distribution public [point de connexion]). La presente partie de l’IEC 60364 inclut des exigences relatives a l’installation electrique resultant de la mise en place d’installations d’alimentation en energie photovoltaique. Des exigences concernant l’installation eventuelle de systemes de stockage d’energie (par exemple des batteries) sont incluses. Des exigences sont egalement incluses pour les installations photovoltaiques en mode ilot decrites dans l’IEC 60364-8-82. Cette troisieme edition annule et remplace la deuxieme edition parue en 2017. Cette edition constitue une revision technique. Cette edition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport a l’edition precedente: a) le contenu technique a ete considerablement revu et etendu, pour tenir compte du retour d’experience dans la construction et l’exploitation des installations photovoltaiques, et des developpements technologiques depuis la parution de la seconde edition. b) Les principales modifications concernent les exigences relatives aux centrales photovoltaiques, la connexion directe aux circuits de batterie, l’introduction du circuit de bus en courant continu et les DCU.
