Design, installation, and testing recommendations for generator control panels and switchboards on ship are established by this document. These recommendations reflect the present-day technologies, engineering methods, and engineering practices.This document is intended to be used in conjunction with IEEE Std 45-2002, IEEE Recommended Practice for Electric Installations on Shipboard.
Purpose
The main purpose of this recommended practice is to supplement the design, installation, and testing recommendations in IEEE Std 45-2002. This recommended practice provides new technologies and design practices for generator control panels and switchboards to aid marine electrical engineers in the design, application and installation of this equipment on ships and other marine installations.
Abstract
New IEEE Standard - Active.Recommendations for the design, selection, and installation of switchboards on merchant vessels with electrical apparatus for lighting, signaling, communication, power, and propulsion are provided.
