3 Terms and definitions
The following terms and definitions apply to this document.
3.1
The independence of safety-class electrical equipment and circuits shall not be
compromised by the functional failure of auxiliary supporting features. For example,
auxiliary supporting features (such as ventilation devices in safety-class switchgear
rooms) shall be specified as belonging to the same division as the safety-class electrical
system they support, to prevent the failure of a mechanical function in one division
from causing the failure of an electrical function in another division.
4.5 Associated circuits
4.5.1 General
In addition to the exceptions mentioned in 4.6c), d), e), non-safety-class power supplies,
control, instrumentation circuits may become associated circuits due to one or more of
the following situations:
a) Electrically connected to the safety-class power supply without using an isolation
device (see Figure 1);
b) Electrically connected to the related power supply without using an isolation
device (see Figure 1);
c) Close to safety-class equipment and circuits without a physical separation or
barrier that meets the requirements (see Figure 2);
d) Close to related equipment and circuits without a physical separation or barrier
that meets the requirements (see Figure 2);
e) Sharing a safety-class or related signal source without using an isolation device
(see Figures 3 and 8).
4.5.2 Guidelines
Associated circuits shall meet one of the following requirements.
a) They shall be marked according to the requirements of the associated circuit or
safety class and can be traced back to the safety class division related to them,
that is, they shall be physically separated in the same way as the safety class
circuits related to them. Unless it is proved by analysis or test that it will not cause
the performance of the safety class circuit to be reduced to an unacceptable level,
they shall meet the requirements of the safety class circuit.
b) All associated circuits, including safety class equipment and isolation devices,
shall comply with the requirements of 4.5.2a). If the circuit behind the isolation
device is no longer related to the safety class system, it is not necessary to comply
with the requirements of this document.
c) It shall be proved by analysis or test that these associated circuits will not cause
2) Through analysis, it is proved that the non-safety circuit will not cause the
performance of the safety circuit to be degraded to an unacceptable level. The
analysis shall evaluate the category of the non-safety circuit and its possible
energy.
e) Non-safety fiber optic loops do not need to be physically isolated from safety
circuits or associated circuits. Electrical isolation is an inherent characteristic of
fiber optic loops. Because fiber optic loops do not cause the safety circuit to
degrade, they can be treated as non-safety circuits rather than associated circuits.
4.7 Mechanical system
Safety-class circuits shall be laid or protected in a manner that prevents failure of a
division of mechanical equipment from causing failure of safety-class circuits or
equipment necessary for redundant systems or equipment to perform their safety
functions. When safety-class equipment or circuits are used to mitigate the
consequences of a mechanical system failure or misoperation, the impact of these
failures or mis-operations on the division itself shall be evaluated. At the same time, the
impact of pipe swing, jet impact, water spray, flooding, radiation, pressurization,
temperature rise or moisture on redundant electrical systems, as caused by mechanical
system failure, misoperation or operation, shall be evaluated. In addition, the potential
hazards of flying objects caused by rotating equipment or high-energy system failures
shall also be evaluated.
4.8 Structures and equipment
Safety-class electrical systems shall maintain their independence and redundancy
during and after the failure of structures and equipment that have not been identified
for design basis events.
4.9 Fire protection system
When redundant division equipment and circuits are arranged within the range of the
same fixed fire protection system, the design of these equipment and circuits shall be
coordinated with the fire protection system, so that the independence of the safety-class
electrical system is not impaired; the impact of false operation of the fire protection
system on equipment rooms and cable channels shall be evaluated.
4.10 Fire
4.10.1 An electrical fire occurring within a safety class division shall not cause the loss
of function of its redundant division.
4.10.2 Redundant safety class equipment and circuits shall maintain independence; a
fire in a fire hazardous area shall not prevent its redundant equipment and circuits from
performing safety functions.
4.11 Electromagnetic interference/Radio frequency interference
The possibility of electromagnetic interference/radio frequency interference affecting
the independence of redundant safety class equipment and circuits shall be evaluated.
Corrective measures to mitigate electromagnetic interference/radio frequency
interference interactions may include the following: grounding, use of low-voltage
components, physical separation, isolation devices, shielding of susceptible equipment
or circuits, shielding of electromagnetic interference sources, etc., see Appendix B of
GB/T 13284.1-2008.
The following interactions of EMI/RFI shall be evaluated:
a) EMI/RFI generated by a safety class division shall not reduce the ability of
redundant safety class equipment or circuits to perform safety functions;
b) EMI/RFI generated outside the safety class circuit (such as non-safety class
circuits and equipment, broadcasting, telephone) shall not reduce the ability of
safety class equipment and circuits to perform safety functions.
5 Physical separation criteria

5.1.1 General
5.1.1.1 Grading of areas
The cable laying and equipment areas of the safety class and its associated circuits shall
be reviewed, to find out whether there are potential hazards such as high-energy
pipelines, flying objects, flammable materials, ignition sources and flooding. These
areas shall be divided as follows:
a) Non-hazardous areas (see 5.1.3);
b) Low-hazard areas (see 5.1.4);
c) Hazardous areas (see 5.1.5).
In the early stages of design, a separation equivalent to the degree of potential hazardous
damage shall be provided through separate rooms, barriers and other facilities. If there
is sufficient heat dissipation capacity, the sides of the room or area can also be used as
a partition.
5.1.1.2 Minimum separation distance

5.1.2 Marking
Exposed safety-class and associated circuit cable wiring channels shall be permanently
marked at the entrances and exits of the enclosed area and at intervals of no more than
5 m on the channel. The marking shall be set before the cable is installed. Cables laid
in the wiring channel shall be permanently marked at intervals of no more than 3 m, so
that it can be verified from the beginning whether their laying meets the separation
criteria. The marking shall be set before or during the cable laying.
Cables of safety class and associated circuits shall be permanently marked at each end
in accordance with the requirements of the design drawings or cable lists.
To meet the above requirements, the marking method adopted shall be able to easily
distinguish between redundant safety class divisions, safety class and non-safety class
divisions, associated cables of different redundant safety class divisions. If no
separation is required between optical fiber loops, a single method can be used for
identification.

pipeline.
d) If the relevant pipeline has not been identified for design basis events, cables or
wiring channels of other safety-class or associated circuits shall not be laid in the
area, except for cables that shall be terminated to devices or loads in the area.
When the area where safety-class or associated circuits or wiring channels are
laid is designated as a hazardous area due to the presence of pipelines that have
not been identified for design basis events, these cables or wiring channels shall
be protected in accordance with the methods specified in 5.1.6.2, to avoid the
impact of the area; otherwise, the relevant pipeline shall be qualified after design
basis event identification.
5.1.7 Missile hazardous area
5.1.7.1 Area requirements
If there is a missile source with sufficient kinetic energy in a certain area under design

safety-class or associated circuits shall not be laid in this area.
c) If the relevant missile source belongs to a single division and has been qualified
by the design basis event, meanwhile the impact of its damage does not require
protective action, the cables or wiring channels of the safety class or associated
circuits laid in the area shall be limited to the same division as the missile source.
d) If the relevant missile source has not been qualified by the design basis event,
In the fire hazardous area, the cables or wiring channels for laying safety-class or
associated circuits shall meet the following requirements.

qualified by the design basis event, meanwhile the impact of its damage does not
require protective action, the cables or wiring channels for the safety-class or
associated circuits laid in the area shall be limited to a single division.
b) If protective action is required for the impact caused by the fire hazard source,
except for the cables that shall be terminated to the devices or loads in the area

except for the cables that shall be terminated to the devices or loads in the area,
other cables or wiring channels of the safety class or associated circuits shall not
be laid in the area. When the area where the cables or wiring channels of the safety
class and associated circuits are laid is designated as a hazardous area due to the
presence of fire hazards not related to nuclear safety, these cables or wiring
channels shall be protected in accordance with the methods specified in 5.1.8.2,
to avoid the impact of the area.
5.1.9 Optical fiber loop
5.1.9.1 General
Optical fiber loops will not cause degradation of other optical fiber loops or live circuits.
Therefore, if the optical fiber loop is used as a fault source cable, there is no isolation
requirement. If the optical fiber loop is used as an affected cable, it shall meet the
isolation criteria requirements of 5.1.9.2. For more discussion on optical fiber loops,
see Appendix A.
5.1.9.2 Separation distance
In non-hazardous areas, there is no isolation distance requirement between the optical
fiber circuit of the safety-class division and the optical fiber circuit of its redundant
division. There is no isolation distance requirement between the safety-class optical
fiber circuit and the non-safety-class optical fiber circuit.
If the optical fiber circuit is used as the affected cable and the live circuit is used as the

5.6.1 Location and layout
The main control cabinet shall be arranged in a non-hazardous area within the safety-
class structure. The local control cabinet shall be arranged in accordance with the
requirements of 5.1.
Redundant safety-class equipment and circuits may be arranged in a control cabinet
physically separated in accordance with the requirements of 5.1 to be separated. From
the operational perspective, when redundant safety-class equipment or safety-class
equipment is placed in the same control cabinet or box with non-safety-class equipment,
the requirements of 5.6.2 ~ 5.6.6 shall be met.
5.6.2 Internal separation
5.6.2.1 In the control cabinet, the minimum separation distance required by Chapter 4
can be determined based on the analysis of the proposed installation method. This
analysis shall be based on tests, the purpose of which is to determine the flame retardant
properties of the wiring method, wire materials, equipment and other materials inside
the control switch cabinet. Considering the overall safety function of the circuit,
sufficient separation distance can be determined when the impact of the source cable

The minimum vertical separation distance can be reduced to 2.5 cm, if the wiring can
withstand the following worst transient conditions:
a) Heating of non-safety-class wires will not cause the wires to sag and touch safety-
class wires or components;
b) Heating of safety-class wires will not cause the wires to sag and touch safety-class
wires or components of redundant divisions.
Acceptable wire fixing methods include using stainless steel ties or other metal brackets
to fix the wires every 15.0 cm along the wires.
5.6.2.2 When fiber optic circuits are involved, the following isolation guidelines must

a) There is no isolation distance requirement between the fiber optic circuit of the
safety-class division and the fiber optic circuit of its redundant division;
b) There is no isolation distance requirement between the safety-class fiber optic
circuit and the non-safety-class fiber optic circuit;
c) The isolation distance between the fiber optic circuit and the live circuit shall meet
the isolation distance requirements of Table 3.
If the above isolation distance cannot be maintained, partitions shall be installed
