IEC 61892-3:2019 is applicable to electrical equipment in mobile and fixed offshore units including pipeline, pumping or "pigging" stations, compressor stations and single buoy moorings, used in the offshore petroleum industry for drilling, production, accommodation, processing, storage and offloading purposes.
\nIt applies to all installations, whether permanent, temporary, transportable or hand-held, to AC installations and DC installations without any voltage level limitation. Referenced equipment standards may give voltage level limitations.
\nThis document specifies requirements such as those concerning
\n\u2013 enclosures, with regard to material, marking (nameplates and labels), ventilation, earthing, EMC and short-circuit rating of components, and
\n\u2013 specific requirements related to use in an offshore unit, such as
\n\u2022 generators and motors,
\n\u2022 transformers,
\n\u2022 switchgear and control gear assemblies,
\n\u2022 instrumentation of power sources,
\n\u2022 semiconductor converters,
\n\u2022 secondary cells and batteries,
\n\u2022 luminaires,
\n\u2022 communication equipment,
\n\u2022 control and instrumentation, and
\n\u2022 accessories for accommodation and similar areas.
\nThis document does not apply to
\n\u2013 fixed equipment for medical purposes,
\n\u2013 electrical installations of tankers, and
\n\u2013 control of ignition sources other than those created by electrical equipment.
\nThis fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition published in 2012. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
\nThis edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
\na) the previous voltage limitations have been removed;
\nb) Clause 4 has been completely rewritten, giving general requirements as to relevant electrical equipment;
\nc) requirements concerning pyrotechnic fault current limiters have been added;
\nd) requirements as to gas insulated switchgear have been added;
\ne) the requirement concerning the isolation of supply to galley has been moved to IEC 61892-2;
\nf) requirements concerning control and instrumentation have been rewritten, based on changes in IEC 61892-2.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
