IEC 60092-501:2013(E) specifies requirements for all electric propulsion plants and gives the specifications, system design, installation and testing of at least:

– generators and their prime movers;

– switchboards;

– transformers/reactors;

– semiconductor convertors;

– propulsion motors;

– excitation systems;

– control, monitoring and safety systems;

– wires, cables, busbars, trunking systems;

– harmonic filters.

Bow and stern thrusters intended as auxiliary steering devices, booster and take-home devices, all auxiliary generating plants, and accumulator battery powered propulsion machinery and equipment are excluded. This fifth edition cancels and replaces the fourth edition published in 2007. It constitutes a technical revision. This edition included the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:

a) requirements regarding system responsibility, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), harmonic distortion and filtering, special requirements for ships with propulsion motor(s) and podded drives, and power management system (PMS);

b) overall technical review to update the standard according to general requirements and referenced equipment standards.
