IEC 606045-6:2022 applies to instruments designed primarily for the measurement of otoacoustic emissions in the human external auditory meatus evoked by acoustic probe stimuli. This document defines the characteristics to be specified by the manufacturer, specifies minimum mandatory functions for two types of instruments and provides performance specifications applicable to both instrument types. This document describes methods to be used to demonstrate conformance with the specifications in this document and guidance on methods for periodic calibration. The purpose of this document is to ensure that measurements made under comparable test conditions with different instruments complying with this document will be consistent. Instruments can provide a measurement function not specifically within the scope of this document and still comply with the relevant requirements of this document for the functions that are within the scope. This document is not intended to restrict development or incorporation of new features, nor to discourage innovative approaches. IEC 606045-6:2022 cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2009. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) the nominal test frequency used in DPOAE is now defined as the higher of the two frequencies, f2;
b) the permitted deviation of the stimulus signal for TEOAE has been specified;
c) the frequency range for DPOAE stimulus signals has been redefined,

IEC TS 61200-201:2026 provides guidance, based on the general requirements provided in the IEC 60364 series, on the implementation of protective measures for low-voltage asynchronous motors. This document covers the control and the protection of low-voltage asynchronous motors.

IEC 61514-2:2026 specifies design reviews and tests intended to measure and determine the static and dynamic performance, the degree of intelligence and the communication capabilities of single-acting or double-acting intelligent valve positioners. The tests can be applied to positioners which receive standard analogue electrical input signals (as specified in IEC 60381-1 or IEC 60381-2) and/or digital signals via a data communication link (for example Fieldbus) and have a pneumatic output. An intelligent valve positioner as defined in Clause 3 is an instrument that uses for performing its functions digital techniques for data processing, decision-making and bi-directional communication. It can be equipped with additional sensors and additional functionality supporting the main function. The performance testing of an intelligent valve positioner is conducted with the positioner mounted on and connected to the actuator/valve assembly the positioner is used on. The specific characteristic parameters of the actuator/valve combination such as size, stroke, friction, type of packing, spring package and supply pressure for the pneumatic part has significant impact on the performance of a positioner. The methods of evaluation given in this document are intended for testing laboratories to verify equipment performance specifications. The manufacturers of intelligent positioners are urged to apply this document at an early stage of development.
This document is intended to provide guidance for designing evaluations of intelligent valve positioners by providing:
- a checklist for reviewing their hardware and software design in a structured way;
- test methods for measuring and qualifying their performance under various environmental and operational conditions;
- methods for reporting the data obtained.
When a full evaluation, in accordance with this document, is not required or possible, the tests which are required are performed and the results reported in accordance with the relevant clauses of this document. In such cases, the test report will state that it does not cover the full number of tests specified herein. Furthermore, the items omitted are mentioned, to give the reader of the report a clear overview. This document is also applicable for non-intelligent microprocessor-based valve positioners without means for bi-directional communication. In that case an evaluation will be reduced to a limited programme of performance testing and a review of the construction. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2013. This edition constitutes a technical revision.

IEC 61308:2026 specifies test methods for the determination of useful high frequency power output in equipment for industrial heating and processing of materials. It is in particular applicable to HF generators made available to users as separate units. This document is basically applicable to equipment operating in the frequency range 100 kHz to 300 MHz, as defined in IEC 60519-1, with the following limitations. This document does not apply to induction heating, which it is possible to carry out in the lower part of the specified frequency band. The ISM centre frequencies for dielectric heating and processing of industrial interest are narrow bands about 6,78 MHz, 13,56 MHz, 27,12 MHz and 40,68 MHz.
This document is not applicable to:
- appliances for household and similar use;
- commercial use;
- laboratory use;
- medical high frequency equipment.
For equipment working in designated ISM bands, it is a legal requirement that the frequency remains within the ISM bands according to CISPR 11, but the resonant frequency of the circuit varies with the change of dielectric parameters of the load. Therefore, the value of the mean output power in the work cycle can be much lower than the value obtained under the test conditions. This value depends upon the response of the tuning system.
NOTE 1 The following criteria are suitable for determination of the classification as industrial equipment:
– commercial equipment is typically designed and planned for series production of many identical units;
– industrial equipment is typically produced in small series or even as single units; the processed goods are consumed or ready for final use at the end of the heating process.
NOTE 2 Heating a workload with dielectric parameters which change significantly in time and/or with temperature, the value of the output power obtained with the actual charge can be different from that obtained with the test load specified in this document.
This document relates to equipment normally operating under continuous rated conditions.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2005. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) adaptation and alignment to the principles in more recent editions of IEC 60519-1 and IEC 60519-6;
b) more detailed descriptions of, in particular, the calorimetric load test and output power evaluation for dielectic plastic welders.

IEC PAS 63720:2026 defines standardized routing parameter tables applicable to the design of rigid circuit board with mechanically or laser drilled vias.
These parameter tables are based on the concept of "Routing Classes" initially introduced in the French standard NF-93713 (1971-1989, cancelled: 2019). They are linked to the pitch of electronic components (e.g., BGA, QFN, connector, etc.) and thus allow a better coupling with component and circuit board manufacturers.
They can be easily integrated into EDA tools to facilitate the work of designers, while ensuring a common standard of communication between customers and manufacturers.
Routing classes should not be confused with IPC performance classes, which are used in the context of circuit board acceptance (IPC-A-600) as well as qualification and performance (IPC-6012) standards. Additional information on circuit board design is provided by IPC-2221 (Generic Standard on Printed Board Design), IPC-2222 (Sectional Design Standard for Rigid Organic Printed Boards) and IPC-2226 (Sectional Design Standard for High Density Interconnect (HDI) Printed Boards).
This document is based on French AFNOR Spec 2212 and was submitted as a PAS document.

IEC 63287-3:2026 specifies guidelines for a reliability qualification plan for power semiconductor modules to assure reliability targets over the entire product life.
Power semiconductor modules with incorporated control circuits are excluded. Clamped packages that need external pressure for being mounted in a system are excluded, e.g. disc-type pressure pack devices.
This document is not intended for medical, military, aeronautics and astronautics-related applications.
NOTE Throughout the document, the term power semiconductor module refers to multichip semiconductor power modules as defined in IEC 60191-4.

IEC TR 62669:2026 presents a series of case studies in which electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure is evaluated in accordance with IEC 62232:2025 [1]. The case studies presented in this document involve intentionally radiating base stations (BSs). The BS transmits on one or more antennas using one or more frequencies in the range 110 MHz to 300 GHz. RF exposure assessments consider, as a minimum, the contribution of ambient sources in at least the 100 kHz to 300 GHz frequency range.
Case studies presented in this document illustrate typical usage of IEC 62232:2025 for the RF exposure assessments of the most common BS types, deployed in mobile and wireless networks, such as small cells, street cells, macro BSs, and parabolic dish antennas used for wireless transmission or mobile backhaul. Many case studies also illustrate the implementation of the actual maximum approach and RF exposure assessment of massive multiple-input, multiple-output (mMIMO) BSs, which are deployed in operational mobile networks, such as 5G.
The case studies are provided for guidance only and are not a substitute for a thorough understanding of the requirements of IEC 62232:2025. Based on the technical outcome and lessons learned from each case study, suggestions are made about RF assessment topics to be considered in the next edition of IEC 62232. New assessment techniques for metrics specified in ICNIRP-2020 [2], such as whole-body average SAR (wbSAR) above 10 GHz and absorbed power density (APD), are also introduced.
NOTE 1 Trade names and trademarks of measurement equipment and computation tools given in this document and in the attached test reports are examples of suitable products available commercially. This information is given for the convenience of users of this document and does not constitute an endorsement by IEC of these products.
NOTE 2 The lower frequency considered for ambient sources, 100 kHz, is derived from ICNIRP-2020 [2] and ICNIRP-1998 [3]. Some applicable exposure limit guidelines, however, require ambient fields to be evaluated as low as 3 kHz, e.g. IEEE Std C95.1-2019 [4] and Safety Code 6 [5].
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2019. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) additional case studies and technical updates illustrating the implementation of IEC 62232:2025;

d) in-situ measurement and implementation of extrapolation methods;
e) introduction of emerging laboratory measurement methods for product compliance assessments.

IEC/IEEE 61007-389:2026 describes a number of tests for use in determining the significant parameters and performance characteristics of transformers and inductors for use in electronics and telecommunication equipment. These test methods are designed primarily for transformers and inductors used in all types of electronics applications that can be involved in any specification for such components. Even though these tests could be applied supplementally for other types of transformers, such as those with larger power ratings used in the utility power industry, the tests discussed in this document are not intended to replace the tests in standards for those other transformers.
Some of the tests described are intended for qualifying a product for a specific application, while others are test practices used for manufacturing and customer acceptance testing. The test methods described here include those parameters most commonly used in the electronics transformer and inductor industry: electric strength, resistance, power loss, inductance, impedance, balance, transformation ratio and many others used less frequently.

IEC TS 63086-2-5:2026 specifies test methods for measuring the performance change of electrically powered household and similar air cleaners caused by the loading with particles.
The main intention of the document is to compare differences in the performance change between air cleaners exposed to the same loading with particles. The performance change is not necessarily representative for real-use applications since concentration, size, morphology and chemical composition of particles present in household or similar environments can strongly differ.

IEC 61853-2:2026 establishes IEC requirements for evaluating PV module performance based on power (watts), energy (joule or watthours) and performance ratio. It is written to be applicable to all PV technologies, including bifacial PV modules, but can be unsuitable for any technology where the module performance changes with time (e.g. modules change their behaviour with light or thermal exposure), or which experience significant non-linearities in any of their characteristics used for the modelling.
The purpose of document is to define procedures for measuring the effects of angle of incidence of the irradiance on the output power of the device, to determine the operating temperature of a module for a specific set of ambient and mounting conditions and measure the spectral responsivity of the module.

IEC 63203-403-1:2026 specifies test methods for surface electromyography (sEMG) sensors by evaluating the quality of sEMG signals obtained from contracting the muscles of the forearm and hand for wearable applications. It is applicable to sEMG sensors that are used to decipher movement intentions and use them as control signals in situations such as virtual reality, game, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), robot control, and home automation. This document does not apply to sEMG sensors intended for medical diagnosis or treatment. For medical devices, national requirements can apply.

IEC 60335-2-16:2022 deals with the safety of electric food waste disposers for household and similar purposes, their rated voltage being not more than 250 V including direct current (DC) supplied appliances and battery-operated appliances.
Appliances not intended for normal household use but that nevertheless possibly pose a source of danger to the public, such as appliances intended to be used by laymen in shops, in light industry and on farms, are within the scope of this standard.
As far as is practicable, this standard deals with the common hazards presented by appliances that are encountered by all persons in and around the home. However, in general, it does not take into account
– persons (including children) whose physical, sensory or mental capabilities; or lack of experience and knowledge prevents them from using the appliance safely without supervision or instruction;
– children playing with the appliance.
Attention is drawn to the fact that
– for appliances intended to be used in vehicles or on board ships or aircraft, additional requirements can be necessary;
– in many countries additional requirements are specified by the national health authorities, the national authorities responsible for the protection of labour, the national water supply authorities and similar authorities, leading to restriction of or prohibition of the installation of food waste disposers.
This standard does not apply to
– portable food waste disposers;
– food waste disposers of the incinerator type;
– appliances intended exclusively for industrial or commercial purposes;
– appliances intended to be used in locations where special conditions prevail, such as the presence of a corrosive or explosive atmosphere (dust, vapour or gas).

This document does not apply to capacitors not directly associated with high-voltage alternating current circuit-breakers.

IEC 63223-1:2026 provides an overview of asset management, its principles and value creation options for the management of network assets in power systems.
This document can be applied to all types of network assets and by all types and sizes of power network companies. The term power network company does not necessarily refer to legally structured companies.
In this document, network assets refer mainly to the physical assets of the electrical energy network, meaning items, equipment, or systems that have potential or actual value for the electric company and are part of the power lines and substations responsible for the transmission and distribution of electrical energy. Examples of network assets that can be included in the asset portfolio of a power network company are presented in IEC 63223-2:2026, 4.2.2.

ISO/IEC 30188:2026 specifies a general reference architecture for a digital twin system in terms of defining system fundamentals through the use of architecture views.

IEC 62271-201:2026 is applicable to prefabricated solid-insulation enclosed switchgear and controlgear assemblies designed for:

– service frequencies up to and including 60 Hz;
– indoor installation;
– areas limited to authorized personnel.
The assembly can include either air-insulated or fluid-filled compartments, or both.
For components installed in a solid-insulation enclosed switchgear and controlgear, this document supplements or even replaces in some cases, the requirements as stated by the individual product standards. The list of components which can be inside the solid-insulation enclosed switchgear and controlgear is not limited to the ones explicitly cited in this document. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2014. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) aligned with the third edition of IEC 62271-200 published in 2021 and its Amendment 1 published in 2024, for structure, definitions, classifications, ratings and testing procedures, where appropriate;
b) clause numbering aligned with IEC 62271-1:2017, including the adoption of the subclause names of Clause 3;
c) in Clause 3 specific terms and definitions are added for "in service", "normal operating condition" and "normal use";
d) earthing circuit is more precisely described, including ratings and test requirements;
e) number of mechanical tests on interlocks is reduced for type testing;
f) forces to apply during type testing are better prescribed (refer to 7.102);
g) resistance measuring on main circuit is only needed before continuous current tests (as reference for routine tests) and not anymore needed after this continuous current test. Rationale for this deletion is that this measured resistance does not mean anything; as the temperature rise test was just finished, a new temperature rise test will not give new information;
h) IEC 62271-100:2021 has been taken into account in 7.101.2;
i) IEC 62271-107:2019 and IEC IEEE 62271-37-013:2021 are also considered in 7.101.2;
j) LSC category is more precisely described, including an explaining flowchart (Annex G);

n) a 1 s rule was introduced for Criterion 4 during IAC tests regarding hot gases versus glowing particles as cause of ignition;
o) internal arc tests for switchgear with protrusions are more precisely described in Annex A;
p) partitions accessible in normal use are now PA, PB1 or PB2 instead of PI which has been removed (refer to 6.103.3)

IEC 62351-8:2026 is to facilitate role-based access control (RBAC) for power system management. RBAC assigns human users, automated systems, and software applications (collectively called "subjects" in this document) to specified "roles", and restricts their access to only those resources, which the security policies identify as necessary for their roles.
As electric power systems become more automated and cyber security concerns become more prominent, it is becoming increasingly critical to ensure that access to data (read, write, control, etc.) is restricted. As in many aspects of security, RBAC is not just a technology; it is a way of running a business. RBAC is not a new concept; in fact, it is used by many operating systems to control access to system resources. Specifically, RBAC provides an alternative to the all-or-nothing super-user model in which all subjects have access to all data, including control commands.
RBAC is a primary method to meet the security principle of least privilege, which states that no subject should be authorized more permissions than necessary for performing that subject’s task. With RBAC, authorization is separated from authentication. RBAC enables an organization to subdivide super-user capabilities and package them into special user accounts' termed roles for assignment to specific individuals according to their associated duties. This subdivision enables security policies to determine who or what systems are permitted access to which data in other systems. RBAC thus provides a means of reallocating system controls as defined by the organization policy. In particular, RBAC can protect sensitive system operations from inadvertent (or deliberate) actions by unauthorized users. Clearly RBAC is not confined to human users though; it applies equally well to automated systems and software applications, i.e., software parts operating independent of user interactions.
The following interactions are in scope:
– local (direct wired) access to the object by a human user, a local and automated computer agent, or a built-in human machine interface (HMI) or panel;
– remote (via dial-up or wireless media) access to the object by a human user;
– remote (via dial-up or wireless media) access to the object by a remote automated computer agent, e.g., another object at another substation, a distributed energy resource at an end-user’s facility, or a control centre application.
While this document defines a set of mandatory roles to be supported, the exchange format for defined specific or custom roles is also in scope of this document. This is achieved by defining two different encoding approaches to handle the definition of custom roles, either based on specific permissions or based on constraints to existing permissions. The definition on handling custom based roles was started in IEC 62351-90-1 and taken over into the IEC 62351-8:2020. Moreover, additionally to the definition of custom roles based on associated permissions, this document also includes options how to assign permissions to objects in a general way. Referencing documents will provide a mapping to a concrete data model to ensure an interoperability for standard roles used in different data models as well as for custom defined roles. Referencing documents might be standards such as IEC PAS 61850-90-19 or IEC 60870-5-7:2025 or also definitions by an operator.
Out of scope for this document are all topics which are not directly related to the definition of roles and access tokens for local and remote access, especially administrative or organizational tasks, such as:
– definition of usernames and password definitions/policies;
– management of keys and/or key exchange;
– engineering process of roles;
– assignment of roles;
– selection of trusted certification authorities issuing credentials (access tokens);
– defining the tasks of a security officer;
– integrating local policies in RBAC.
Existing standards (see ANSI INCITS 359-2004,

IEC TS 62461:2026 gives guidelines for the application of the uncertainty analysis accord­ing to ISO/IEC Guide 98‑3:2008 (GUM describing an analytical method for the uncertainty determination) and its Supplement 1:2008 (GUM S1 describing a Monte Carlo method for the uncertainty determination) for measurements of ionizing radiation. It does not include the uncertainty associated with the concept of the measuring quantity, e.g., the difference between Hp(10) on the ISO water slab phantom and on the person.
This document explains the principles of ISO/IEC Guide 98‑3:2008, its Supplement 1:2008 and the special considerations necessary for radiation protection at an example taken from individual dosimetry of external radiation.
This document is intended to assist the understanding of ISO/IEC Guide 98‑3:2008, ISO/IEC Guide 98‑3-SP1:2008 and other papers on uncertainty analysis. It cannot replace these papers, nor can it provide the background and justification of the arguments leading to the concept of ISO/IEC Guide 98‑3:2008 and ISO/IEC Guide 98‑3-SP1:2008.
Finally, this document gives a very simple method to judge whether a measured result is significantly different from zero or not based on ISO 11929.
This first edition of IEC TS 62461 cancels and replaces the second edition of IEC TR 62461 published in 2015. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
- several minor corrections;
- the addition of an example of the determination of the decision threshold and detection limit in accordance with ISO 11929.

IEC 61373:2026 specifies the requirements for testing items of equipment intended for use on railway vehicles which are subsequently subjected to vibrations and shock owing to the nature of railway operational environment. To gain assurance that the quality of the equipment is acceptable, it is exposed to tests of reasonable duration that simulate the service conditions seen throughout its expected life.
Simulated long-life testing can be achieved in a number of ways each having their associated advantages and disadvantages, the following being the most common:
a) amplification: where the amplitudes are increased and the time base decreased;
b) time compression: where the amplitude history is retained and the time base is decreased (increase of the frequency);
c) decimation: where time slices of the historical data are removed when the amplitudes are below a specified threshold value.
The amplification method as stated in item a) above, is used in this document and together with the publications referred to in Clause 2; it defines the default test procedure to be followed when vibration testing items for use on railway vehicles.
Whilst this document is primarily concerned with railway vehicles on fixed rail systems, its wider use is not precluded. For systems operating on pneumatic tyres, or other transportation systems such as trolleybuses, where the level of shock and vibration clearly differ from those obtained on fixed rail systems, specific test levels can be considered. In that case, the frequency spectra and the shock duration and amplitude are computed in compliance with the guidelines in Annex A.
Annex F provides the functional random vibration load that can be considered by the user for urban vehicles operating on pneumatic tyres.
This document applies to single axis testing. However, multi-axis testing is possible.
The anchoring bolts at the fixing point(s) of the equipment are not evaluated in this document.
This document is intended to evaluate equipment which is attached to the main structure of the vehicle (and components mounted thereon). It is not intended to test equipment which forms part of the main structure. Main structure in the sense of this document means car body, bogie and axle.
The following items are out of scope of this document:
– the traction motors for railway vehicles;
– any mechanical substructure not equipped with electrical, electronic or pneumatic component.
Additional or special vibration tests for some specific equipment are not specified in this document, for example:
a) equipment mounted on, or linked to, items which are known to produce defined frequency excitation;
b) equipment such as pantographs, shoegear, or suspension components which are known to be exposed to specific shock and vibration excitation;
c) equipment intended for use in special operational environments as specified by the customer;
d) transportation and handling tests.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2010. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) consideration of specific ASD spectra from onboard measurements and certification limited to the specific case;
b) exclusion from the scope of applicability of traction motors and any substructure not equipped with electrical, electronic or pneumatic device;
c) clarification for order of testing and typical test sequence, taking into account the possibility of simultaneous multi-axis testing;
d) recommendation and guidance for removing resilient mounts of the equipment (if located between the equipment and the main structure) during the long-life test;
e) qualification of the fixture device used to attach the equipment to the test bench;
f) guidance for using a measuring point as a possibility to assess mechanical integrity;
g) change of the method to calculate the acceleration ratio which shall b

IEC 61850-7-410:2026 specifies the logical node classes for use in the domain of hydroelectric power stations, steam and gas turbines.
This IEC61850 domain information model standard utilizes the existing Logical Node (LN) classes defined in IEC 61850-7-4, Basic communication structure – Compatible logical node classes and data object classes where possible, while defining new and extended domain specific LN classes to provide the necessary data objects for application to functions and systems in the domain of hydroelectric power stations, steam and gas turbines. The domain information model includes the interface towards a central operator centre’s control functions.
The Scope of this document, related to steam and gas turbine specifics, is limited to overall control functions and generator and turbine control functions. For hydroelectric power, the scope includes the entire power station automation system.
Edition 3 is intended to form a basis for extensions in local implementations. Such extensions may be defined in profiles. Many of the Logical Nodes defined in this document are designed to be suitable for use in domains beyond the scope of hydro power plants and steam and gas turbines. A suggested structure of the Logical Nodes into packages for integration with other domains is provided in Annex G (informative), Migration of this document to the future edition of IEC 61850.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2012 and Amendment 1:2016. This edition constitutes a technical revision.

j) This 3rd edition is autogenerated from the UML file;
k) Upon publication the updated IEC 61850-7-410 NameSpace will be made available as a Code Component on the TC57 web page.
In the Edition 3 of this document, a new modelling approach is applied. In order to achieve greater efficiency and harmonization of the IEC 61850 information model by streamlining the Namespaces it is divided into, the structure of the latest revisions of the Namespaces related to the power generation domain, aims to:
– share common concepts, approaches, and models in the generation domains,
– increase the modularity of the model itself and enable its extension.
This edition hence introduces a new modeling approach, which is further explained in Clause 5. The pillars upon which the new approach is founded are as follows:
– a layered architecture for the power station model, in accordance with the control hierarchy concepts defined in IEC 60050-351-55;
– a comprehensive review of the models considering the approach outlined in IEC 61850-7-420:2021, aimed at harmonizing fundamental concepts in the power generation domain;
– a systematic alignment with the concepts outlined in IEC 61850-7-500:2017.
Specific aspects typical of the large power generation domain are also addressed in the present document. The relationship between concepts described in this document and the ones of related standards can be found in Annex B and Annex C.
In addition to this objective, Edition 3 provides c

IEC TS 63346-2-2:2026 provides common rules and specific requirements for the design of low voltage DC auxiliary power systems (APSs) intended to be installed in substations, mainly covering the configuration of DC power sources, system wiring, electric equipment selection and physical layout. For the purpose of interpreting this document, a DC APS in this document is considered as follows.
Its scope covers from the low voltage AC input of the charger to the DC input points of loads. Though DC load is discussed where necessary, the load itself is beyond the scope of this document.
Unless particularly stated, DC APS refers to the system using lead-acid and nickel-cadmium cells which are connected in series. The system using parallel cells can implement this document by reference.
Substations in this document refer to those which are part of an electrical system and contain equipment that either receives and distributes electrical energy or transforms voltages to the levels required by the loads they supply, or both.
This document does not apply to the design of any of the following: traction substation, which have different power supply requirements, such as unbalanced load power supply and harmonic behaviour;
offshore substations, as factors such as waves, typhoons, salt spray, etc. need to be taken into account, which have different requirements for power supply and equipment selection; the substation connecting a nuclear power plant to the grid and its associated LV APS integrated with the nuclear power plant.
