FOREWORD
This standard is primarily intended to introduce constructional, design, performance, safety features
and testing requirements for Solar powered water pump set and prescribes the method of measurement
of performance & energy efficiency rating and testing for performance.
While preparing this standard assistance has been drawn from Indian standards and guidelines as listed
below:
a) IS 9079: 2002
b) IS 14220: 1994
c) IS 8034: 2002
d) IS 9283: 2013
The manufacturers of solar powered water pump set offer an array of equipment to meet the diverse
applications of markets. The complexity of the product offering precludes the testing of each and every
model. However, to promote consistency in the representation of Solar powered water pump set
performance by all manufacturers, this standard establishes uniform rating and testing methods. It is
intended that equipment testing will be done in laboratory where the instrumentation and load stability
as defined in the standard can be provided.
For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with, the final
value, observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test, shall be rounded off in accordance with
IS 2 : 1960 'Rules for rounding off numerical values (revised)'. The number of significant places retained
in the rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.
