BS EN IEC 62613-1:2018

This standard BS EN IEC 62613-1:2018 Plugs, socket-outlets and ship couplers for high-voltage shore connection systems (HVSC-Systems) is classified in these ICS categories:

• 29.120.30 Plugs, socket-outlets, couplers

This part of IEC 62613 applies to accessories with

• three phases (3 poles and Earth) with up to three pilot contacts,

• one single pole (Neutral).

These accessories have rated currents not exceeding 500 A and rated operating voltages not exceeding 12 kV 50/60 Hz.

NOTE 1 In the USA, the term "Ground" is used instead of "Earth".

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 2 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.

These accessories are intended to be connected to cables of copper or copper alloy only.

Socket-outlets or ship inlets incorporated in or fixed to electrical equipment are within the scope of this standard.
