Test methods for measuring power consumption of AC three phase electrical energy consuming commercial and industrial equipment with rated voltage up to 690V in standby and off modes
Scope:
General
The standard provides a unified best practice for measuring and reporting the power consumption of a range of three phase low voltage equipment where the equipment is not delivering an intended service to a user in commercial and industrial applications. The specified test methods are applicable for a single equipment and not to be used for a set of equipment.
NOTE1 The measurement of power consumption and performance of equipment during an intended use (active mode) are generally specified in the relevant equipment standards and are not covered by this standard.
NOTE2 Where this standard is referenced by performance standards or procedures, these should define and name the relevant mode (see clause 3) to which this test procedure is applied.
NOTE3 This Standard does not specify safety requirements. It does not specify minimum performance requirements, nor does it set maximum limits on power or energy consumption.
Inclusions
The standard is applicable to the following products:
a) Three-phase AC electrical energy consuming commercial and industrial equipment with rated voltage up to 690 V and not in active mode
b) Air-cooled equipment
Exclusions
This Standard is not intended for use for the following systems:
a) DC, single, or two phase electrical commercial and industrial equipment
b) Household electrical appliances covered by CAN-CSA-C62301-11 (R2021)
c) Water-cooled equipment
d) Non electrical energy consuming commercial and industrial equipment such as backup generators
Project need:
The main purpose is to update the standard to reflect changes in technology since the first edition was published 10 years ago. This proposed New Standard is being developed at the request of the C402 committee on industrial energy efficiency. It will provide the industry with an improved method to measure the energy consumption of industrial equipment when not in active mode.
