This recommended practice is the minimum requirements and guidelines for the design and installation of electrical systems on offshore fixed production platforms. It also intends to bring together the basic and expected electrical practices of marine electrical systems and briefly describe them. The recommended practices contained in this document take into account the special electrical conditions that exist on offshore production platforms, including: a The inherent potential for electric shock caused by the marine environment and steel deck; b The limited space required for equipment to be installed in classified areas or near the classification area; c Corrosive marine environment. This recommended practice mainly addresses those permanent and temporary electrical installations related to daily production operations. It also mentions the electrical precautions that may be required for drilling rigs on production platforms or other types of equipment used during production operations. Special Considerations. The guidelines presented in this article, when used in conjunction with clearly defined area classifications, will provide a high level of electrical safety. This recommended practice emphasizes safe practices for marine production platform classification zones but does not include rules for zone classification. For regional classification rules refer to API RP 500B.
