Scope: This part of IEC 61400 specifies essential design requirements to ensure the structural integrity of wind turbines. Its purpose is to provide an appropriate level of protection against damage from all hazards during the planned lifetime.
This document is concerned with all subsystems of wind turbines such as control and protection functions, internal electrical systems, mechanical systems and support structures.
This document applies to wind turbines of all sizes. For small wind turbines, IEC 61400-2 can be applied. IEC 61400-3-1 provides additional requirements to offshore wind turbine installations.
This document is intended to be used together with the appropriate IEC and ISO standards mentioned in Clause 2.Cross References:ISO 6336-3:2006IEC 60204-11:2000ISO 12494:2001IEC 62477-1:2012ISO 6336-2IEC 60076 (all parts)IEC 60664-1IEC 60071-1ISO/TS 16281IEC 62305-4IEC 61400-3ISO 2533IEC 60721 (all parts)IEC 60071-2IEC 60664-3IEC 61800-5-1ISO 13850IEC 60038IEC 60529IEC 61000-6-2IEC 61400-24IEC 60204-1IEC 60364 (all parts)IEC 62271 (all parts)IEC 61800-4IEC 62305-3IEC 60034 (all parts)ISO 2394IEC 61439 (all parts)ISO 281ISO 76IEC 61400-4ISO 4354IEC 62061:2005ISO 13849-1:2015IEC 61310-1:2007IEC 61508-1:2010IEC 62061:2005/AMD2:2015IEC 61310-2:2007IEC 60173:1964ISO 12100:2010IEC 62061:2005/AMD1:2012IEC 60446:2007EN 1993-1-6:2007IEC 61400-3-1IEC 62305-1IEC 60898 (all parts)IEC 61000-6-1IEA Recommendation 11IEC 60287 (all parts)ISO 8930:1987IEC 61000-6-4IEC 60245 (all parts)IEC 61400-2ISO 9001IEC 61400-12-1IEC 61400-21IEC 60617IEC 61400-13ISO 13849-2IEC 61508 (all parts)IEC 61508-6IEC 60439 (all parts)IEC 60146 (all parts)IEC 60227 (all parts)ISO 3010IEC 60755IEC 60269 (all parts)IEC 61400-6All current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
