BS EN 62282-3-300:2012

What is BS EN 62282-3-300 - Stationary fuel cell power systems about?

The EN 62282 series is a European standard that discusses fuel cell technologies. The main objective of EN 62282 is to provide requirements for various types of fuel cell technologies applications.

BS EN 62282-3-300 is an International Standard that provides minimum safety requirements for the installation of indoor and outdoor stationary fuel cell power systems in compliance with IEC 62282-3-100 and applies to the installation of the following systems:

• Intended for electrical connection to mains directly or with a readily accessible, manually operable switch or circuit-breaker
• Intended for a stand-alone power distribution system
• Intended to provide AC or DC power
• With or without the ability to recover useful heat

Note: BS EN 62282-3-300 does not cover the safety requirements of the stationary fuel cell power system which are covered by IEC 62282-3-100.

BS EN 62282-3-300 does not cover:

• Fuel supply and/or fuel storage systems
• Auxiliary media supply and disposal
• Switches or circuit-breakers
• Portable fuel cell power systems
• Propulsion fuel cell power systems
• APU (auxiliary power units) applications

Who is BS EN 62282-3-300 - Stationary fuel cell power systems for?

BS EN 62282-3-300 on stationary fuel cell power systems is useful to:

• Distributed energy resource providers
• Stationary fuel cell power systems manufacturers
• Emergency power systems
• Telecommunications network providers
• Utilities providers

Why should you use BS EN 62282-3-300 - Stationary fuel cell power systems?

Fuel cells can be used for primary power, backup power, or combined heat and power (CHP) for stationary applications. Stationary fuel cells can be sized to power anything from a single-family home to a large business center.

BS EN 62282-3-300 provides you with safe and standardized requirements for the installation of stationary fuel cell power systems for all applications.

The guidance in BS EN 62282-3-300 helps you to identify conditions that may be created by the installation process that can lead to personnel hazards or damage to equipment or property external to the fuel cell power system.

You can improve the performance and efficiency of stationary fuel cell power systems by adopting BS EN 62282-3-300 requirements for stationary fuel cell power systems.
