criteria to be used and the minimum technical requirements for electrical equipment and
materials to be installed in both Eni onshore and offshore Oil & Gas facilities.
This standard does not cover the following:

• Power generation plant exclusively connected to an external grid;
• HV substations;
• Cable transmission lines with Um>52 kV;
• Subsea systems;
• Downstream plants;
• Renewable power plants;
• Accommodation camps;
• Drilling rigs and associated users;
• Jetties;
• Transformer for Submersible pump;
• Submersible pump motors;
• Electric firefighting pumps;
• Erection, commissioning and start-up.
NORMATIVE REFERENCES
Materials and equipment shall fully comply with all requirements defined by the international/
European rules, laws, decrees, directives and internal standardization documents.
1.2.1 International, IOGP and European standards
This specification is primarily based on the publications of the International Electrotechnical

Commission (IEC) and on the relevant documents issued by the European Committee for
Electrotechnical Standardisation (CENELEC).
National standards of the country in which the installation will be located may be used in lieu of
IEC standards for the design and engineering of the electrical installation, provided they are not
less stringent in their total requirement. Equipment to be installed in the European Union Member
States shall have the appropriate ‘CE’ marking.
The latest edition of each publication shall be used, together with any
amendments/supplements/revisions. New revisions/updates during an activity or project may
not be considered, unless there are associated safety/environmental impacts.
The design of the electrical system shall comply with the standards listed in TABLE 1. National
standards are not included in this list. If the application of national standards is required in the
country of installation, these shall be added to the list.
If a standard number is followed by the words “all parts”, it shall include all parts of the standard,
including Technical Specifications (TS) and Technical Reports (TR).
If a standard included in the following list has been withdrawn, it shall be substituted by the
standard that has replaced it. If a standard has been withdrawn without replacement, it shall
not be applied and an agreement shall be reached between COMPANY and CONTRACTOR
regarding the technical requirements to be used instead of it.
If a standard refers to an agreement between parties, such agreement shall be subject to
COMPANY approval.

Rev. 13 July 2021
Sheet 10 of 93
For standards and specifications mentioned in the present document, if a requirement is

preceded or followed by expressions such as “unless defined otherwise in the data sheets”, the
possibility to change the requirement in the data sheet shall require the specific authorization of
COMPANY, unless the requirement adopted is more restrictive than the requirement of the
standard or specification.
The international or national standards referred in other international or national standards, or
in IOGP documents, or COMPANY standards, shall be considered mandatory at the same level of
the standard (or IOGP document) that refers to them, even if not explicitly mentioned in the
present specification.
The IOGP specifications mentioned in the present standard shall be considered integral part of
it.

Notes:
(1) Power supply of these users is required for technical reasons and therefore for reasons different from
those of providing personnel safety.
(2) Essential generation is normally required for floaters or for large manned offshore installations.
2.7.2.2 Load balance
A schedule of the foreseen electrical loads, split by relevant supplying switchgear shall be
prepared. The load balance shall provide the demand load and peak load expressed in kilowatts
and kilovars, under the specified operating conditions identified during the project development.
The definitions are the following:
Demand Load Continuous Load + Intermittent Load
Peak Load Demand Load + % Stand-by Load
% Stand-By Load the greatest between the following values:

- 10% of total stand-by loads;
- the biggest stand-by load;
- the sum of all stand-by loads of the greatest unit
power wise (e.g. compressor trains), for which a
make–before-break load transfer is foreseen between
a running unit and its associated stand-by unit.
In case of multiple users fed by one feeder, a conventional load shall be applied, calculated as
the sum of the rated powers of the users, multiplied by a load factor not lower than below:
• Lighting fixtures: 1;
• Continuous Use Equipment: 0,8;
• Sockets (n= number of socket): 1/n+0,1;
• HVAC: 1;
• Various centralized services (water, thermal, etc.): 0,8.
An engineering margin shall be included to the final total demand load to account for an increase
in the power demand due to uncertainties.
Apart from the already planned future plant expansion, the following margins shall be applied to
the peak load, during the various project development phases:
• For evaluation and selection phases (pre-feasibility and feasibility), a margin of 30% shall
be applied.
• For definition phase (Basic design and FEED), a margin of 20% shall be applied.
• For execution phase, a margin of 10% shall be applied at the end of detailed design.
Such margins shall be verified in the whole range of environmental operating conditions and in
each operating scenario.

2.7.4 Harmonics distortion
The individual harmonic voltage distortions at any point of the system shall not exceed the levels
as defined in IEC/TR 61000-3-6 table 1. The Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) shall not exceed
8%. At MV switchgear incomers, the planning levels indicated in IEC/TR 61000-3-6, table 2 shall
not be exceeded, and the Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) shall not exceed 6,5%.
Such requirements shall be satisfied with the main power sources designated as spares in shut
down. In case of connection to an external grid in parallel with local main power generation, the
requirements shall be satisfied also when all the main power generators are in shut down. On
emergency distribution, such requirements shall be satisfied also when fed by the emergency
power source.
In case of connection to external grid, the requirements of the energy SUPPLIER shall be
respected if more stringent.
The electronic devices shall be suitable for electromagnetic environment class 2 according to IEC
61000-2-4.
Equipment shall be capable to operate continuously in the conditions present on the network at
point of installation, considering also emergency conditions such as operation with emergency
power source.
2.7.5 Neutral earthing
The neutral system configurations shall be as indicated below.
2.7.5.1 Medium Voltage systems
MV system neutrals shall be earthed by means of neutral earthing resistors.

The rating of the neutral earthing resistors shall be designed to limit he maximum earth fault
current to a value less than the maximum current permitted by equipment (generator or power
transformer) during earth fault considering also the total capacitive current of the system, for
the time necessary for the intervention of the protections.
The resistive current of the NER shall be determined by the following formula: Ir≥1,1 Ic where
Ic is the capacitive earth current of the system during an earth fault.
In case the earth fault (considering both the resistive and capacitive contribute) cannot be
sustained by the equipment (transformers or generators), alternative solutions shall be proposed
for COMPANY approval.
If two or more generators can operate in parallel, connected to the same switchgear without
step up transformers, one of the following solutions shall be adopted:
a) Each generator shall have its own neutral earthing resistor, connected to the star point
and provided with a contactor or circuit breaker or switch by means of which it can be
connected and disconnected, commanded by a control logic, based on the status of
generator circuit breakers and of bus ties.
b) Each busbar of the switchgear to which the generators are connected shall be provided
with a neutral earthing transformer (such as zigzag transformer or star/delta transformer
with open delta) with its own neutral earthing resistor. The neutral earthing transformers
shall be connected and disconnected by a control logic, based on the status of the
switchgear bus ties.
For each electrically separated system, only one neutral earthing resistor shall be connected at
a time. For short time parallel operations, such as the closing of a bus tie and the opening of an
incomer, more than one resistor may be connected at the same time, providing that the condition
of only one neutral earthing resistor for each electrically separated system is restored
automatically.

Rev. 13 July 2021
Sheet 37 of 93
Connection of two or more neutral earthing resistors in the same electrically separated system
(e.g. with bus tie closed) shall be prohibited by means of an interlock that shall be active even
in case the control logic is not operational.
In case the generators are connected to the switchgear by means of step up transformers, each
generator shall be provided with its own neutral earthing resistor, that shall always be connected
during operation. The neutral earthing on switchgear side, if the switchgear is in MV, shall be as
per point b) above.
If a switchgear can be fed simultaneously by transformers and generators, solution b) above
shall be adopted.
Control logics used to manage the connection of the neutral earthing resistors, or of the neutral
earthing transformers, shall be hardwired and shall have the following functions:
• They shall be operational even in case of fault of the single generators.
• Opening or closing of circuit breakers, contactors or switches shall not leave each
electrically separated system without earthing resistors connected. The logic shall
automatically execute the commands to bring the system in an acceptable configuration.
• It shall be possible for the operator to disable the control logic, but in such a case an
alarm shall be raised to the EMS. An alarm to the EMS shall be raised also in all the cases
in which, for any reason, the neutral is isolated.
The status of the connection of neutral earthing resistors and neutral earthing transformers shall
be visible in the EMS graphic pages.
In case solution b) is adopted, control logics used to manage the connection of the neutral
earthing resistors shall be implemented in the switchgear to which generators are connected.
A back-up protection sensible to voltage unbalance (such as 59N) shall be provided in order to
cover possible faults while the neutral is isolated, for example if the logic malfunctions.
For parts of the network connected to an external electrical energy SUPPLIER without interposed
transformers, the neutral earthing philosophy of the external network shall be adopted.
2.7.5.2 LV systems
The neutral of LV electrical systems shall be solidly earthed at each source of supply by means
of dedicated earth electrodes that have a direct, low impedance connection to the plant main
earth grid. The system of earthing shall be designated “TN-S”, in accordance with IEC 60364.
