Hi
SANS have published SANS 10142-1-2
The wiring of premises
Part 1-2: Additional special requirements for
low voltage small scale embedded generator
installations connected to THE GRID
This document was approved for publication in November 2021.
The scope of the document appears to contradict itself.
1 Scope
1.1 This standard covers special requirements in addition to SANS 10142-1 for electrical installation
of Small Scale Embedded Generators (SSEGs) rated up to 1 000 kVA intended to supply all or part
of an installation with nominal voltages not exceeding 1 kV AC or 1,5 kV DC.
1.2 This document is applicable to SSEG installations intended to be connected in parallel to an
electrical supply grid or electrical supply authority.
1.3 This document also applies to the installation of the following:
a) Solar PV installations;
b) Energy storage systems;
c) Inverter-based generation;
d) Synchronous generators;
e) Asynchronous/induction generators; and
f) Any combination of the above that are connected to a single point of supply.
NOTE 1 In this standard, the terms Small Scale Embedded Generator (SSEG) and Embedded Generator (EG)
are used interchangeably.
NOTE 2 Embedded generation is also known as Grid tied generation.
1.4 This part of SANS 10142 does not apply to
a) all alternative supplies e.g. Solar PV systems, wind turbines which is covered in 7.12 of
SANS 10142-1: 2021, and
b) stand-alone electrical generating systems.
