- 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;
