Plugs, socket-outlets and ship couplers for high-voltage shore connection systems (HVSC-systems) - Part 2: Dimensional compatibility and interchangeability requirements for accessories to be used by various types of ships

Publication date:   Oct 17, 2018

Scope

The purpose of the IEC/ISO/IEEE 80005-1 is to define requirements that allow compliant ships to connect to compliant high-voltage shore power supplies through a compatible shore-to-ship connection.
IEC 62613 has been written to address the needs of 80005-1 in terms of plugs, socket-outlets, ship connectors and ship inlets (herein referred to as "accessories") to deliver electrical power to ships in ports.
IEC 62613 applies to accessories with
- three phases and earth with pilot contacts,
- one single pole for neutral.
These accessories have rated currents not exceeding 500 A and rated operating voltages not exceeding 12 kV 50/60 Hz.
These accessories are primarily intended for use outdoors, in a seawater environment, for the shore supply of ships (ship-to-shore connection), in an ambient temperature within the range of 25 °C to +45 °C.
NOTE 1: In some countries, other ambient temperatures may prevail and may need to be taken into account.
These accessories are not intended for use in hazardous areas. In such locations where special conditions prevail, additional requirements may be necessary.
Part 2 of IEC 62613 contains the standard sheets for different configurations of (shore) socket-outlets, (shore) plugs, ship connectors and ship inlets, up to 12 kV, 500 A, 50/60 Hz and with pilot/auxiliary contacts.
