24、nts (Revise Item 4-6-5/1.9.2(b), as follows:) 1.9.2(b) Warning Plate (1 July 2016). At the entrance of such spaces, a suitable marking is to be placed which indicates danger of high-voltage and the maximum voltage inside the space. For high-voltage electrical equipment installed outside these spaces

25、, a similar marking is to be provided. An adequate, unobstructed working space is to be left in the vicinity of high voltage equipment for preventing potential severe injuries to personnel performing maintenance activities. In addition, the clearance between the switchboard and the ceiling/deckhead

26、above is to meet the requirements of the Internal Arc Classification according to IEC 62271-200. 1.9.3 Cables (Revise Item 4-6-5/1.9.3(h), as follows:) 1.9.3(h) Cable Test after Installation (1 July 2016). A voltage withstand test is to be carried out on each completed cable and its accessories befo

27、re a new high voltage installation, including additions to an existing installation, is put into service. An insulation resistance test is to be carried out prior to the voltage withstand test being conducted. For cables with rated voltage (Uo/U) above 1.8/3 kV (Um= 3.6 kV) an AC voltage withstand t

28、est may be carried out upon advice from high voltage cable manufacturer. One of the following test methods to be used: i) An AC test voltage for 5 min with the phasetophase voltage of the system applied between the conductor and the metallic screen/sheath. ii) An AC voltage test for 24 h with the no

29、rmal operating voltage of the system. iii) A DC test voltage equal to 4Uomay be applied for 15 minutes. For cables with rated voltage (Uo/U) up to 1.8/3 kV (Um= 3.6 kV), a DC voltage equal to 4Uoshall be applied for 15 minutes. After completion of the test, the conductors are to be connected to eart

30、h for a sufficient period in order to remove any trapped electric charge. The insulation resistance test is then repeated. The above tests are for newly installed cables. If due to repairs or modifications, cables which have been in use are to be tested, lower voltages and shorter durations should b

The fixed contacts of withdrawable circuit breakers and switches are to be so arranged that in the withdrawn position, the live

32、 contacts of the bus bars are automatically covered. Shutters are to be clearly marked for incoming and outgoing circuits. This may be achieved with the use of colors or labels. 4 ABSGUIDE FOR BUILDING AND CLASSING YACHTS .2016 Notice No. 1 July 2016 (Revise Item 4-6-5/1.11.2(f), as follows:) 1.11.2

33、(f) Arc Flash and Associated Installation Requirements (1 July 2016) i) Internal Arc Classification (IAC). Switchgear and control gear assemblies are to be Internal Arc Classified (IAC). Where switchgear and control gear are accessible by authorized personnel only accessibility Type A is sufficient

34、(IEC 62271-200; Annex AA; AA 2.2). Accessibility Type B is required if accessible by non-authorized personnel. Installation and location of the switchgear and control gear is to correspond with its internal arc classification and classified sides (F, L and R). ii) Calculations, in accordance with th

35、e applicable parts of Standard IEEE 1584 or other recognized standard, are to be made to establish: The maximum current that can flow in the case of an arc fault The maximum time and current that could flow if arc protection techniques are adopted The distance, from the location of the arc flash, at

36、 which the arc flash energy would be 1.2 calories per cm2if the enclosure is open iii) In addition to the marking required by the equipment design standard, arc flash data consistent with the Design Operating Philosophy and the required PPE is also to be indicated at each location where work on the

37、HV equipment could be conducted. 1.11.3 Transformers (Revise Item 4-6-5/1.11.3(a), as follows:) 1.11.3(a) Application (1 July 2016). Provisions of 4-6-5/1.11.3 are applicable to power transformers for essential services. See also 4-6-4/9. Items 4-6-5/1.11.3(c) and 4-6-5/1.11.3(d) are applicable to t

38、ransformers of the dry type only. These requirements are not applicable to transformers intended for the following services: Instrument transformers. Transformers for static converters. Starting transformers. Dry type transformers are to comply with the applicable parts of the IEC Publication 60076-

39、11. Liquid-filled transformers are to comply with the applicable parts of the IEC 60076 Series. Oil-immersed transformers are to be provided with the following alarms and protections: Liquid level (Low) alarm Liquid temperature (High) alarm Liquid level (Low) trip or load reduction Liquid temperatur

41、ast 2 m (6 ft) is to be left in the vicinity of high voltage equipment for preventing potential severe injuries to personal performing maintenance activities. Where the clear space around a location where activity is taking place is less than 2 m (6 ft), then the activities are to be covered in suff

42、icient detail to take into account the work involved and the possible need to have clear and safe access for emergency medical evacuation. Where recommended by the switchgear manufacturer, the working space may be reduced to a minimum of 1.5 m (5 ft) due to special considerations such as the use of arc resistant switchgear. Activities that do not require operation at the switchboard (e.g., telephones or manual call points) should not require the operator to be within 2 m (6 ft) of the switchboard. 6 ABSGUIDE FOR BUILDING AND CLASSING YACHTS .2016
