This part of IEC 60092 specifies special provisions to power electronic converters and systems, using semiconductor elements for use in ships. The conversion may be from AC to DC, from DC to AC, from DC to DC or from AC to AC with a rated output power greater than 1 kW.

This document does not apply to semiconductor converters used in electrical propulsion plant. For semiconductors converters used in electrical propulsion plant, see IEC 60092‑501.
