IEC 63272:2024 specifies the performance and functional characteristics of the on-site AC interruptible power supply systems and applies to new nuclear facilities and newly installed or upgraded on-site AC interruptible power supply systems.
The specific design requirements for the components of the power supply system are defined by the IEC standards listed in the normative references and are outside the scope of this document.
The purpose of this document is to provide high level requirements for the design of on-site AC interruptible power supply systems as part of the overall electrical distribution system in a nuclear facility. This document defines the requirements for an electrical designer to establish the design of the AC interruptible electrical power supply for nuclear facilities. It is used in conjunction with Level 1 standard IEC 63046.
