 Electrical
Components
The set of electrical and mechanical equipment needed for the transmission and use of electrical energy. This can
be as simple as a light bulb connected to a battery or as complex as distribution systems that carry power from
generating centers to intermediary stations who then feed the power out to plants and housing.
and Systems

Main rationales behind the Standard Categorization

Substations & Switchgears Power Converters Batteries and Power Supplies

• A Substation is an indoor or outdoor location containing
switchgears, transformers, bus ducts and protection equipment.
• Switchgears are the combination of electrical disconnect switches
and fuse/circuit breaker used to manage and isolate a power
supply system.
• Circuit Protection devices include all the methods of equipment
protection and human safety. This category refers to fuses, circuit
breakers, disconnectors, surge and lightning arrestors and
bonding/grounding/earthing systems.
• Whenever HV is separated from MV or LV it is because of the
different requirements specific power stations may have (High
Voltage is intended as greater than 33KV)
• Switchboards are not included as a category since they can be
considered a subset of Switchgears. Thus they would be listed
under LV Switchgears.
Transformers
• The rationale was to separate transformers based on type of
insulation: Oil Filled (HV destined to primary distribution, LV
destined to low voltage distribution) and Dry Type (air or resin).
• Large Transformers are mainly intended for HV power stations and
interconnecting systems.
• Grounding resistors protect power transformers and generators from
damaging fault currents.
• Power Reactors are not to be confused with transformers. While a
Power Transformer is designed for efficient power transfer from one
voltage system to another, a shunt reactor is intended only to
consume reactive VARs.
• Special Application: includes furnace transformers, traction
transformers and mobile transformers.
• The rationale was to separate converters based on type of
application:
• DC/AC Converters (Also Called Inverters)
• AC/DC Converters (Also called Rectifiers)
• DC/DC Converters (Also called DC transformers)
Electrical Cables & Accessories
• Communication Cables can be found in the Instrumentation group
as this group only concerns electrical components only.
• Subsea solutions have been separated due to their nature and
specific skills required to install such systems.
• HV is intended as above 33KV, MV between 1KV and 33KV and LV
up to 1KV
• Cable Glands are also known as fittings since they are a device
designed to attach and secure the cable to the equipment.
• EX classified areas refers to places with specific requirements due
to potential hazards. Therefore, this equipment must be thoroughly
tested to ensure it does not trigger any dangerous events (e.g.
explosions).
• Industrial type refers to generic use for any industry.
Cathodic Protection
• Cathodic protection refers to the technique used to reduce the
corrosion of a metal surface.
• 13.05.01G is intended as a full supply. Basically a, complete ready
to use protection system (including anodes, rectifier etc.)
• These are used in industrial applications where readily available
energy is needed but might not always be available.
• UPS differ from Emergency generators in that they can provide
almost instantaneous protection from power interruptions since
they supply energy stored in batteries. This category includes both
general purpose and specific application systems (e.g. Marine UPS,
which need to be resilient to elevated levels of vibration).
• Energy storage systems are a full integrated turnkey solution,
typically contained in a metal jacket.
Lighting
• The rationale is to divide systems based on the type of usage:
industrial (indoor and outdoor) and road.
• The further distinction between EX classified areas and generic
industrial use was made due to the specific needs of the former
areas.
Electrical Equipment & Bulk Materials
• Electrical heat tracing systems are used to maintain or raise the
temperature of an object (usually a pipe or a vessel). Turnkey kits
have to be distinguished from simple cables that wrap around the
object to heat.
• Spare parts include everything might be needed as a replacement in
an electrical system (e.g. switches, plugs, etc.)
• 13.08.03G includes any material used for construction and
assembly of Pneumatic Instrumentation.
