Engineering Recommendation (EREC) P28 Consultation

NIE Networks proposes changing the Distribution System Security and Planning Standard EREC P28 (the Planning Limits for Voltage Fluctuations standard), to be superseded by EREC P28 Issue 2.

EREC P28 was first issued in 1989. It is the current standard for planning limits for voltage fluctuations applied to the Northern Ireland distribution network. The standard is also referenced in the NIE Networks Distribution Code.

It is to be used by those who propose to connect disturbing equipment with the potential for voltage fluctuation, being flicker and/or RVC, to public electricity supply systems. The document should also be used by those who carry out assessments concerning the suitability of connecting such equipment to these systems.

NIE Networks now propose to adopt the changes made to EREC P28 in Great Britain to ensure equivalent standard alignment.

The purpose of this consultation is to set out the proposed changes to EREC P28 and seek feedback from stakeholders.
