1 Scope
This part of BS 5000 specifies requirements for the vibration resistance of generators, together with
their exciters, to be driven by reciprocating internal combustion (RIC) engines. The
standard is applicable to generators with a maximum continuous rating with outputs
greater than 0.75 kW or kVA per 1 000 r/min, of the following types:
-
a) salient pole alternating current generators;
-
b) cylindrical rotor (distributed field) alternating current generators;
-
c) direct current generators.
This part of BS 5000 is not applicable to generators intended for use in ships, traction vehicles or turbine
type machines.
