alarmcom Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 4737 was 8hrs which is more than ample for the UK. 24 hours would be a catastrophic or rare failure for the UK grid. Why would we have any standards that asked us to cope with problems other countries experience? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark auto Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 (edited) PD6662 states the same 12hours for grade 1 and 2, but reduces grade 3 and 4 to 24hrs (from 60 in 50131), like i said i was always told the EN requirements were to cover countries with unreliable power grids, ours doesnt need so long personally i dont think 8 hours is long enough, 12 is much better Edited July 4, 2016 by mark auto QA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
