Full title and description

IEC/IEEE 80005-1 — Utility connections in port — Part 1: High voltage shore connection (HVSC) systems — General requirements. This joint IEC/IEEE international standard defines requirements for shore-to-ship high-voltage electrical connections, covering equipment and interfaces on both shore and ship to allow ships to be supplied with electrical power from shore while berthed.

Abstract

Describes HVSC systems onboard and on shore for supplying ships from shore power, and is applicable to the design, installation and testing of HV shore distribution systems, shore‑to‑ship connection and interface equipment, transformers and reactors, semiconductor/rotating frequency converters, ship distribution systems, and control, monitoring, interlocking and power management systems. The standard is intended primarily for ships requiring ~1 MVA or more and for ships with high‑voltage main supplies; low‑voltage shore connection systems are covered in other parts.

General information

• Status: Published (Edition 2 with Amendment 1 published 2022; consolidated documents also available).
• Publication date: Edition 2 originally published 2019; Amendment 1 issued February 2022 (consolidated 2.1 / 2022 releases available in some catalogues).
• Publisher: Joint IEC / IEEE international standard (published through IEC and IEEE channels and distributed via standards retailers).
• ICS / categories: Electrical equipment of ships and of marine structures — 47.020.60.
• Edition / version: Edition 2 (2019) with Amendment 1 (2022). Consolidated Edition 2.1 (including Amd.1) is offered by some publishers.
• Number of pages: Varies by publication package — amendment-only documents are short (single‑digit pages), while consolidated electronic/print editions (Ed.2.1 or combined downloads) are typically published in the range shown by distributors (for example catalog listings show ~78 to ~147 pages depending on format and whether annexes/compilations are included).

Scope

Specifies general requirements for high‑voltage shore connection (HVSC) systems used to supply ships from shore while berthed. It addresses shore distribution, shore‑to‑ship connection equipment and interfaces, transformer/reactor arrangements, frequency conversion equipment (semiconductor and rotating), shipboard distribution systems, and requirements for control, monitoring, interlocking and power‑management functions. It excludes low‑voltage shore connection systems and conditions such as dry docking or out‑of‑service maintenance. Additional or alternative national, flag‑state or owner/operator rules may apply.

Key topics and requirements

• Definition of HVSC system architectures (shore-side, ship-side and optional transformer arrangements).
• Shore-to-ship connector types, pin assignments and pilot circuit requirements.
• Earthing, neutral treatment and neutral‑earthing resistor requirements and ratings.
• Protection, interlocking and mandatory safety circuits (safety-loop behaviour and response times).
• Control, monitoring and power management functions including synchronization and automatic restart/synchronization alternatives.
• Harmonic limits and power quality considerations for converters and shore supplies.
• Testing, commissioning and periodic testing/inspection procedures for HVSC installations.
• Annex material with typical single‑line diagrams for vessel types (e.g., cruise ships, container ships) and guidance for pilot wiring and connector shielding.

Typical use and users

Used by naval architects, ship electrical designers, shipyards, port authorities, shore power system designers, electrical equipment manufacturers (connectors, transformers, converters), classification societies, flag administrations and electrical testing/inspection bodies to design, install, test and certify HV shore connection systems and the associated shipboard interfaces.

Related standards

Part of the IEC/IEEE 80005 series. Related documents include the LVSC (low‑voltage shore connection) parts and other guidance/Amendments to Part 1 (Amd 1:2022 and later amendments/editions). Classification society rules, national regulations and complementary standards on connectors, switchgear, earthing and electromagnetic compatibility are commonly used together with 80005‑1.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: IEC/IEEE 80005-1 is the international standard that sets general requirements for high‑voltage shore connection (HVSC) systems used to supply ships with electrical power from shore while berthed.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers the design, installation, testing and safety/interlocking requirements for shore and ship equipment used in HVSC systems, including transformers, converters, connectors, switchgear, earthing arrangements and control/monitoring/power management functions. It does not cover low‑voltage shore connections or dry‑dock/out‑of‑service supply arrangements.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Shipowners, shipbuilders, port electrical engineers, equipment manufacturers, classification societies, regulators and testing/inspection organisations use the standard when specifying, installing and certifying HV shore‑power systems.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The Edition 2 text (published 2019) with Amendment 1 (published February 2022) is the current published baseline; work toward a further revision (Committee Draft for a new edition) has been progressed by the standards committee, so users should check for later amendments or a new edition when specifying long‑term projects.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — IEC/IEEE 80005 is a multipart series addressing shore connection systems (HV and LV) and related guidance; Part 1 covers HVSC general requirements while other parts and related PAS/documents address LVSC and application guidance.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Shore power, HVSC, high‑voltage shore connection, shore-to-ship connection, earthing, neutral earthing resistor, power quality, synchronization, control and interlocking.
