The Malaysian Standard specifies the general requirements for the design and the implementation of microgrids used in decentralised rural electrification to ensure the safety of persons and property and their satisfactory operation according to the scheduled use.
This standard applies to microgrids for decentralised rural electrification purposes. The microgrids covered by this standard are low voltage a.c., three-phase or single-phase, with rated capacity less than or equal to 100 kVA. They are powered by a single micropowerplant and do not include voltage transformation.
The low-voltage levels covered under this standard are the 230 V 1-Ø/400 V 3-Ø systems, 220 V 1-Ø/380 V 3-Ø, the 120 V 1-Ø/208 V 3-Ø, 60 Hz or 50 Hz systems.
This Malaysian Standard specifies microgrids made of overhead lines because of technical and economical reasons in the context of decentralised rural electrification. In particular cases, underground cables can be used.
