NFPA 87, the Standard for Electrical Power Systems for Electric-Driven Aircraft Ground Support Equipment, establishes essential guidelines for the secure design, installation, and operation of electrical power systems intended for electric-driven ground support equipment (GSE) used with aircraft. This standard specifically addresses the distinct electrical safety risks related to GSE, including the potential for electrical shock, arc flash, and fire hazards. It details requirements concerning electrical power distribution systems, wiring, grounding, and associated electrical equipment. NFPA 87 applies to new electrical power systems as well as modifications made to existing systems at airports, military bases, and other locations where aircraft maintenance and servicing occur. The provisions laid out in this standard are designed to safeguard personnel, aircraft, and equipment from electrical risks, thereby promoting a safe and dependable operational environment for ground support functions.
