| Connector contact inspection | every connection cycle or minimum annually |
|---|---|
| Insulation resistance test (shore cable + ship receptacle) | annually |
| Interlock and protection relay function test | annually |
| Cable reel/handling gear lubrication and mechanical check | every 6 months |
| Torque check on power connections | annually or after any connector replacement |
| Insulation resistance, shore cable | commonly expected well above 100 M-ohm for cables of this class - compare to the commissioning baseline and manufacturer minimum rather than a single fixed figure |
|---|---|
| Connector contact resistance | should stay within the manufacturer's stated range - a rising trend indicates contact wear or contamination |
Ranges are typical for this design class. Always confirm against the manufacturer documentation for your serial number.
Classification societies assess high-voltage shore connection (cold ironing) systems against IEC/ISO 80005 requirements. Surveyors look for interlock and earthing verification records, insulation resistance test history, and protection relay setting documentation. Where the vessel carries a shore-power notation, this typically falls under periodic (commonly annual) electrical survey rather than continuous survey machinery.
Estimated lifetime: Connector and cable assemblies on high-voltage shore power systems are generally rated in connection cycles rather than running hours; the shore-side cubicle and switchgear typically have a design life in the order of 20-25 years with periodic component replacement - confirm against Cavotec's own system documentation
