This part of IEC 61800, which is a product standard, specifies requirements and makes
recommendations for the design and development, integration and validation of safety-related
encoder (Encoder(SR)) in terms of their functional safety considerations, electrical safety and
environmental conditions. It applies to Encoder(SR), being sensors as part of a PDS(SR).
NOTE 1 The term "integration" refers to the Encoder(SR) itself, not to its incorporation into the safety-related
application.
This document can also be referred to and used for Encoder(SR) in any other safety-related
application, for example safety-related position monitoring.
NOTE 2 This document specifies only complementary functional safety, electrical safety and environmental condition
requirements that are not clearly provided by other parts of the IEC 61800 series.
This document is applicable where functional safety of an encoder is claimed and the
Encoder(SR) is operating mainly in the high demand or continuous mode.
NOTE 3 While low demand mode operation is possible for an Encoder(SR), this document concentrates on high
demand and continuous mode. Safety sub-functions implemented for high demand or continuous mode can also be
used in low demand mode. Requirements for low demand mode are given in IEC 61508 (all parts) [2]. Some guidance
for the estimation of average probability of dangerous failure on demand (PFDavg) value is provided in
IEC 61800-5-2:2016, Annex F.
The requirements of IEC 61800-5-2:2016 for PDS(SR) apply to Encoder(SR) as applicable. This
document includes additional or different requirements for Encoder(SR). It sets out safetyrelated
considerations of Encoder(SR) in terms of the framework of IEC 61508 (all parts), and
introduces requirements for Encoder(SR) as subsystems of a safety-related system. It is
intended to facilitate the realisation of the electrical/electronic/programmable electronic
(E/E/PE) and mechanical parts of an Encoder(SR) in relation to the safety performance of safety
sub-function(s) of an Encoder(SR).
Manufacturers and suppliers of Encoder(SR) will, by using the normative requirements of this
document, indicate to users (system integrator, original equipment manufacturer) the safety
performance of the Encoder(SR). This will facilitate the incorporation of Encoder(SR) into
safety-related control systems using the principles of IEC 61508 (all parts), and possibly its
specific sector implementations (for example IEC 61511 (all parts) [3], IEC 61513 [4],
IEC 62061 [5] or ISO 13849-1 and ISO 13849-2 (see Clause 2).
By applying the requirements from this document, the corresponding requirements of
IEC 61508 (all parts) that are necessary for an Encoder(SR) are fulfilled.
This document does not specify requirements for:
• the functional properties of an Encoder(SR) without any safety relevance;
• the hazard and risk analysis of a particular application;
• the identification of safety sub-functions for that application;
• the initial allocation of SILs to those safety sub-functions;
• the driven equipment except for interface arrangements;
• secondary hazards (for example from failure in a production or manufacturing process);
• the Encoder(SR) manufacturing process;
• the validity of signals and commands to the Encoder(SR); and
• security aspects (e.g. cyber security or Encoder(SR) security of access).
NOTE 4 The functional safety requirements of an Encoder(SR) are dependent on the application, and can be
considered as a part of the overall risk assessment of the installation. Where the supplier of the Encoder(SR) is not
responsible for the driven equipment, the installation designer is responsible for the risk assessment, and for
specifying the functional and safety integrity requirements of the Encoder(SR).
This document applies to Encoder(SR) implementing safety sub-functions with a SIL not greater
than SIL 3.
This document provides additional information for Encoder(SR) claiming

IEC TS 63471:2023 provides a recommended DC voltage series for HVDC grids with a DC voltage above 1,5 kV. It concerns the selection of a nominal DC voltage of multi-terminal HVDC power transmission and distribution systems and meshed HVDC networks, grids, rather than a rated DC voltage or highest DC voltage.
There is no stringent requirement to consider this DC voltage series for the DC voltage selection for any stand-alone (not forming part of DC Grid) HVDC projects, e.g. a point-to-point HVDC power transmission and distribution system. However, in order to facilitate the later progression towards larger HVDC systems in the future the use of standardized DC voltages is very useful. At later stages, with multi-terminal systems and meshed HVDC grids, the use of harmonized voltages will indeed become essential in order to optimize both capital and operational costs. Also, for entirely new projects, system planning should include this outlook and can benefit from the use of the recommended DC voltage series.

This part of IEC 62751 gives the detailed method to be adopted for calculating the power
losses in the valves for an HVDC system based on the “modular multi-level converter”, where
each valve in the converter consists of a number of self-contained, two-terminal controllable
voltage sources connected in series. It is applicable both for the cases where each modular
cell uses only a single turn-off semiconductor device in each switch position, and the case
where each switch position consists of a number of turn-off semiconductor devices in series
(topology also referred to as “cascaded two-level converter”). The main formulae are given for
the two-level “half-bridge” configuration but guidance is also given in Annex A as to how to
extend the results to certain other types of MMC building block configuration.
The standard is written mainly for insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs) but may also be
used for guidance in the event that other types of turn-off semiconductor devices are used.
Power losses in other items of equipment in the HVDC station, apart from the converter
valves, are excluded from the scope of this standard.
This standard does not apply to converter valves for line-commutated converter HVDC
systems.

IEC TR 63363-1:2022(E) is to present the "state of the art" with respect to general guidance on the steady-state performance demands of VSC HVDC transmission systems. It concerns the steady-state performance of two-terminal VSC HVDC transmission systems utilizing converters with power flow capability in both directions.
Different configurations of a VSC HVDC transmission system are covered in this document, including the symmetrical monopolar, asymmetrical monopolar, bipolar with earth return, bipolar with dedicated metallic return and rigid bipolar configurations.
There are many variations between different VSC HVDC transmission systems. This document does not consider these in detail; consequently, it cannot be used directly as a specification for a particular project, but rather to provide the general basis for the system steady-state performance demands.
Normally, the performance specifications are based on a complete system including two VSC HVDC converter stations. However, sometimes a VSC HVDC transmission system can also be separately specified and purchased from multiple vendors instead of single turnkey vendor. In such cases, due consideration can be given to the coordination of each part with the overall VSC HVDC system performance objectives and the interface of each with the system can be clearly defined. The major components of the VSC HVDC transmission system are presented in IEC 62747.
Referring to IEC 62747, an HVDC substation/converter station is defined as that part of the VSC HVDC transmission system which consists of one or more VSC converter units installed in a single location together with buildings, reactors, filters, reactive power supply, control, monitoring, protective, measuring and auxiliary equipment. The AC substations are not covered in this document.
This document provides guidance and supporting information on the procedure for system design and the technical issues involved in the system design of VSC HVDC transmission projects for both owners and contractors. This document can be used as the basis for drafting a procurement specification and as a guide during project implementation.

IEC TR 62543:2022 is available as IEC TR 62543:2022 RLV which contains the International Standard and its Redline version, showing all changes of the technical content compared to the previous edition.
IEC TR 62543:2022 gives general guidance on the subject of voltage sourced converters (VSC) used for transmission of power by high voltage direct current (HVDC). It describes converters that are not only voltage sourced (containing a capacitive energy storage medium and where the polarity of DC voltage remains fixed) but also self-commutated, using semiconductor devices which can both be turned on and turned off by control action. The scope includes 2‑level and 3-level converters with pulse-width modulation (PWM), along with multi-level converters, modular multi-level converters and cascaded two-level converters, but excludes 2‑level and 3-level converters operated without PWM, in square-wave output mode. HVDC power transmission using voltage sourced converters is known as "VSC transmission". The various types of circuit that can be used for VSC transmission are described in this document, along with their principal operational characteristics and typical applications. The overall aim is to provide a guide for purchasers to assist with the task of specifying a VSC transmission scheme. Line-commutated and current-sourced converters are specifically excluded from this document. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
- in Clause 3, some redundant definitions which were identical to those listed in IEC 62747 have been deleted;
- in 4.3.4, description and diagrams have been added for the cases of a bipole with dedicated metallic return and a rigid bipole;
- in 4.4, mention is made of the bi-mode insulated gate transistor (BiGT) and injection enhanced gate transistor (IEGT) as possible alternatives to the IGBT;
- in 5.6, the reference to common-mode blocking reactors has been deleted since these are very rarely used nowadays.
