NFPA 87 Standards for Fluid Heaters

NFPA 87, Standard for Electrical Power Systems for Electric-Driven Aircraft Ground Support Equipment, provides guidelines for the safe design, installation, and operation of electrical power systems used to power electric-driven aircraft ground support equipment (GSE). The standard addresses the unique electrical safety hazards associated with GSE, such as electrical shock, arc flash, and fire, and outlines requirements for electrical power distribution systems, wiring, grounding, and electrical equipment. NFPA 87 applies to newly installed electrical power systems and modifications to existing systems at airports, military bases, and other facilities where aircraft are serviced and maintained. Its provisions aim to protect personnel, aircraft, and equipment from electrical hazards, ensuring a safe and reliable operating environment for ground support operations.
