Annex A.85 sets criteria for selecting, coordinating and setting electrical protections for rotating synchronous generators and synchronous compensators connected to networks at 36 kV or above. Annex A.86 sets technical connection conditions for data centres on high- and extra-high-voltage networks at those voltage levels, including protection, regulation and control systems. Terna is accepting comments until 13 November. The material is a proposal under consultation, not a statement that the revised rules are already in force. ## Data ### Development reported by the official source Summary of the development reported by the source; it does not claim independent measurement or additional outcomes.
