    Scope - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    This European Standard specifies requirements relating to electrical installations for the supply of electrical power (three-phase AC - 400 V, 50 Hz and with a rated current of at least 250 A) to vessels in port. Annex A stipulates general and safety requirements relating to the shore-based section of the electrical shore connection. Annex B stipulates general and safety requirements relating to the shore-based connecting cables and to the on-board section of the electrical shore connection. Annex C contains information concerning the dimensioning of shore-based connecting cables. The requirements according to the HD 60364 and HD 384 series of standards generally apply to shore-based low-voltage equipment.
