DIN EN 16840:2015-04

This European Standard specifies requirements applicable to equipment for shore-to-vessel supply of electrical power, three-phase 400 V, of 50 Hz frequency, and with minimum current 250 A, to berthed inland navigation vessels. Annex A of this European Standard specifies general and safety requirements for the onshore unit of the electrical shore connection. Annex B of this European Standard specifies general and safety requirements for the cable sets and for the onboard unit of the electrical shore connection. This European Standard applies only to the supply of inland navigation vessels in ports and berths for commercial shipping. Supply stations for leisure craft and houseboats in marinas or similar locations have to meet the requirements of IEC 60364-7-709. For shore-based low-voltage electrical installations, generally the requirements specified in the HD 60364 and HD 384 series are applicable. The requirements of Annex A in this European Standard supplement the requirements in HD 60364/HD 384 Parts 1 to 6.
