Data record `std.ieee-1547-2.structure.isolation-device`

Verified 2026-10-24 Confidence: High

Clause 4.8 of IEEE 1547.2-2023 explains that an isolation device is not a universal requirement of IEEE 1547-2018: whether one is needed follows from Area EPS operating practice, occupational safety rules and the electrical codes; the usual location is the PCC, though the parties may agree on another accessible point in series with the DER; and the device need not double as a paralleling or interrupting device.

Provenance. Where this record comes from and where it is used: the cited source, the record itself and the entry that cites it.
