With the recent and continued construction of offshore wind facilities, the industry needed a recommended practice for the cables to be used on the offshore wind electrical substations. Electrical cables used on offshore wind facilities are exposed to a similar environment as those historically used on shipboard and offshore facilities. The many years' service of marine cable constructions covered by this document provide a solid basis for their use on offshore wind facilities.

Other Activities From This Working Group
Current projects that have been authorized by the IEEE SA Standards Board to develop a standard.
No Active Projects
Standards approved by the IEEE SA Standards Board that are within the 10-year lifecycle.
1580-2021
IEEE Recommended Practice for Marine Cable for Use on Shipboard and Fixed or Floating Facilities
This recommended practice is for single or multiconductor cables, with or without metal armor and/or jacket, and rated 300 V to 35 kV ac (RMS phase-to-phase) or up to 2000 V dc, intended to be installed aboard marine vessels, fixed and floating offshore facilities, and in accordance with industry installation standards and the regulations of the authorities having jurisdiction (AHJ). The recommendations define what is considered good engineering practice with reference to the reliability and durability of the cable.
These standards have been replaced with a revised version of the standard, or by a compilation of the original active standard and all its existing amendments, corrigenda, and errata.
No Superseded Standards
These standards have been removed from active status through a ballot where the standard is made inactive as a consensus decision of a balloting group.
No Inactive-Withdrawn Standards
These standards are removed from active status through an administrative process for standards that have not undergone a revision process within 10 years.
