IEC/IEEE 80005-3:2025 PDF

This document specifies provisions for the design, installation and testing of low-voltage shore connection (LVSC) systems, onboard ships and on shore, to supply the ship with electrical power from shore. This document is applicable to: – ships requiring up to 1 MVA while at berth; – three-phase shore connection systems rated 250 A and above, and with a nominal voltage rating of 400 V AC to 1 000 V AC; – shore-side connection systems; – shore-to-ship connection and interface equipment; – transformers and reactors; – semiconductor and rotating frequency convertors; – ship-side connection systems; – protection, control, monitoring, interlocking and power management systems. This document does not apply to: – inland navigation vessels; – high-voltage shore connection systems, including ships built in accordance with the annexes of IEC/IEEE 80005-1; – the electrical power supply during docking periods, for example dry docking and other out-of-service maintenance and repair; – systems to be operated by ordinary persons as defined in 3.19. NOTE 1 Other standards are available specifically for inland navigation vessels in Europe. NOTE 2 IEC 60092-507 is applicable to small vessels. NOTE 3 Additional or alternative requirements can be imposed by national administrations or the authorities within whose jurisdiction the ship is intended to operate and by the owners or authorities responsible for a shore power supply or distribution system. NOTE 4 High-voltage shore connection systems are covered by IEC/IEEE 80005-1. NOTE 5 Some existing 380 V AC ship systems can be supplied by 400 V AC.
