The IEEE Std 45 series for Electric Installation on Shipboard serve as a guide for the selection and installation of electrical equipment for lighting, signaling, communications, power and propulsion in marine applications. It provides recommendations for controls, control applications, control apparatus, and automation on shipboard. This series includes design, installation, and testing recommendations for generator control panels and switchboards along with recommendations for systems engineering, design, and integration of electrical power systems at the total ship level from concept design through the establishment of the design baseline prior to detail design. It includes the design to improve electrical safety on shipboards.
