Nuclear power plants - Instrumentation, control and electrical power systems - Requirements for static uninterruptible DC and AC power supply systems (IEC 61225:2019)
This document specifies the performance and the functional characteristics of the low voltage
static uninterruptible power supply (SUPS) systems in a nuclear power plant and, for
applicable parts, in general for nuclear facilities. An uninterruptible power supply is an
electrical equipment which draws electrical energy from a source, stores it and maintains
supply in a specified form by means inside the equipment to output terminals. A static
uninterruptible power supply (SUPS) has no rotating parts to perform its functions.
The specific design requirements for the components of the power supply system are covered
by IEC standards and standards listed in the normative references and are otherwise outside
the scope of this document.

UNINTERRUPTIBLE DC AND AC POWER SUPPLY SYSTEMS
FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 61225 has been prepared by subcommittee 45A: Instrumentation,
control and electrical power systems of nuclear facilities, of IEC technical committee 45:
Nuclear instrumentation.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2005. This edition

c) emphasize that the static uninterruptible power supplies shall protect the connected
equipment (loads) from transients on the on-site AC distribution system (the immunity
concept);
d) in accordance with the defence-in-depth concept, this standard applies to static
uninterruptible power supplies for all equipment, not only for equipment important to
safety, with a graded approach to verification and validation;
e) addition of the requirement that, when batteries are connected in parallel under abnormal
operating conditions, they shall be properly protected with isolation devices to avoid any
failure that may impair more than one division of the uninterruptible power supply.
The text of this International Standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
45A/1235/FDIS 45A/1250/RVD

INTRODUCTION
a) Technical background, main issues and organization of the standard
The 1993 issue of IEC 61225 was developed for specifying the requirements relevant to
the design of electrical supplies for I&C systems in nuclear power plants. Considering the
experience gathered worldwide on this subject, in 2003 working group A2 recommended a
revision to this standard so that a new revision, IEC 61225 Ed. 2 (2005), could be
consistently integrated into the SC 45A standard series. In 2015, working group A11
recommended a revision to this standard following the publication of the revision of IAEA
SSG-34 and that the scope of the standard should cover static uninterruptible power
supplies for all types of connected equipment.
International operating experience with electrical supply systems in nuclear power plants
has highlighted a number of supply voltage variations and malfunctions, such as:
– voltage perturbations due to disturbances on the internal AC distribution system (with
origin off-site or on-site);
– voltage overshoot on loss of grid;
– open phase conditions (one or two phases);
– asymmetrical faults.
These types of perturbations can degrade the performance of static uninterruptible power
supplies and ultimately result in failure of connected equipment.
One of the objectives of the uninterruptible power supplies is to protect the connected
equipment from voltage variations on the on-site AC distribution system (the immunity
concept). The power supplies shall also guarantee an output voltage with specified
magnitude and waveform (in case of AC) to connected loads. The power supplies shall
have the capacity to supply the relevant loads during a specified time regardless of any
voltage variations on the on-site AC distribution system.
Examples of voltage and frequency variations in the incoming feeder to the supplies can
be found in informative Annex A. Examples of specifications for static uninterruptible
power supplies can be found in informative Annex B.
This standard is applicable to the design of static uninterruptible electrical power supplies
in new nuclear power plants, when design work is initiated after the publication of this
standard. It also serves as a reference for upgrading and modernizing existing nuclear
power plants.
b) Situation of the current standard in the structure of the SC 45A standard series
IEC 61225 is a second level document specifically addressing the particular topic of
requirements for electrical supplies.
For more details on the structure of the SC 45A standard series, see item d) of this
introduction.
c) Recommendations and limitations regarding the application of this standard
This standard is to be applied in conjunction with IEC 61513, IEC 60709, IEC 60880,
IEC 62138, IEC 62855 and IEC 63046 (to be published).
d) Description of the structure of the IEC SC 45A standard series and relationships
with other IEC documents and other bodies documents (IAEA, ISO)
The top-level documents of the IEC SC 45A standard series are IEC 61513 and
IEC 63046. IEC 61513 provides general requirements for I&C systems and equipment that
are used to perform functions important to safety in NPPs. IEC 63046 provides general
requirements for electrical power systems of NPPs; it covers power supply systems
including the supply systems of the I&C systems. IEC 61513 and IEC 63046 are to be
considered in conjunction and at the same level. IEC 61513 and IEC 63046 structure the
IEC SC 45A standard series and shape a complete framework establishing general
requirements for instrumentation, control and electrical systems for nuclear power plants.
IEC 61513 and IEC 63046 refer directly to other IEC SC 45A standards for general topics
related to categorization of functions and classification of systems, qualification,
separation, defence against common cause failure, control room design, electromagnetic
---------------------- Page: 12 ----------------------
SIST EN IEC 61225:2020
IEC 61225:2019 © IEC 2019 – 7 –
compatibility, cybersecurity, software and hardware aspects for programmable digital
systems, coordination of safety and security requirements and management of ageing.
The standards referenced directly at this second level should be considered together with
IEC 61513 and IEC 63046 as a consistent document set.
At a third level, IEC SC 45A standards not directly referenced by IEC 61513 or by
IEC 63046 are standards related to specific equipment, technical methods, or specific
activities. Usually these documents, which make reference to second-level documents for
general topics, can be used on their own.
A fourth level extending the IEC SC 45 standard series, corresponds to the Technical
Reports which are not normative.
The IEC SC 45A standards series consistently implements and details the safety and
security principles and basic aspects provided in the relevant IAEA safety standards and
in the relevant documents of the IAEA nuclear security series (NSS). In particular this
includes the IAEA requirements SSR-2/1, establishing safety requirements related to the
design of nuclear power plants (NPPs), the IAEA safety guide SSG-30 dealing with the
safety classification of structures, systems and components in NPPs, the IAEA safety
guide SSG-39 dealing with the design of instrumentation and control systems for NPPs,
the IAEA safety guide SSG-34 dealing with the design of electrical power systems for
NPPs and the implementing guide NSS17 for computer security at nuclear facilities. The
safety and security terminology and definitions used by SC 45A standards are consistent
with those used by the IAEA.
IEC 61513 and IEC 63046 have adopted a presentation format similar to the basic safety
publication IEC 61508 with an overall life-cycle framework and a system life-cycle
framework. Regarding nuclear safety, IEC 61513 and IEC 63046 provide the interpretation
of the general requirements of IEC 61508-1, IEC 61508-2 and IEC 61508-4, for the
nuclear application sector. In this framework IEC 60880, IEC 62138 and IEC 62566
correspond to IEC 61508-3 for the nuclear application sector. IEC 61513 and IEC 63046
refer to ISO as well as to IAEA GS-R part 2 and IAEA GS-G-3.1 and IAEA GS-G-3.5 for
topics related to quality assurance (QA). At level 2, regarding nuclear security, IEC 62645
is the entry document for the IEC/SC 45A security standards. It builds upon the valid high
level principles and main concepts of the generic security standards, in particular
ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 27002; it adapts them and completes them to fit the nuclear
context and coordinates with the IEC 62443 series. At level 2, IEC 6096
