Direct Current Microgrids
712.2 Definitions.
Direct Current Microgrid (DC Microgrid). A direct current
microgrid is a power distribution system consisting of more
than one interconnected dc power source, supplying dcdc converter(s), dc load(s), and/or ac load(s) powered by dcac inverter(s). A dc microgrid is typically not directly
connected to an ac primary source of electricity, but some dc
microgrids interconnect via one or more dc-ac bidirectional
converters or dc–ac inverters.

and power-limited circuits that are not an integral part of a
device or of utilization equipment.
Informational Note: The circuits described herein are character‐
ized by usage and electrical power limitations that differentiate
them from electric light and power circuits; therefore, alterna‐
tive requirements to those of Chapters 1 through 4 are given
with regard to minimum wire sizes, ampacity adjustment and
correction factors, overcurrent protection, insulation require‐
ments, and wiring methods and materials
