Electrical Installation Guide

A - General rules of electrical installation design - This chapter presents the general rules for designing an installation and presents the involved IEC standards. It gives help in calculation of installed power loads.

B - Connecting to the MV utility distribution network - This chapter presents the main methods of connection to the MV utility distribution network.

C - Connecting to the LV utility distribution network - This chapter presents the main methods of connection to the LV utility distribution network.

D - MV and LV architecture selection guide - Given a particular building, we show how to select the right solution during pre-design and budget step: find a compromise between costs and ratings of the installation during its whole life cycle.

E - LV distribution - Conception rules of an electrical installation. System earthing.

F - Protection against electrical shocks - This chapter explains how to determine protective devices in order to protect people from direct & indirect contacts and to protect equipments and goods from fire risks.

G - Sizing and protection of conductors - Practical methods for conductor sizing and protection are given

H - LV switchgear - functions and selection - The basic functions of LV switchgear are described as well as selection rules for ensuring the protection coordination.

J - Protection against voltage surges in LV - The effects of lightning are described. Protective devices are proposed and implementation rules are given.

K - Energy Efficiency in electrical distribution - Power monitoring and control system contributes to global "energy efficiency". Such a system is of high benefice for the owner of an electrical network. 
 
L - Power factor correction and harmonic filtering - This chapter explains how power factor correction is implemented in LV electrical installation. Practical examples are given.

M - Harmonic management - The origin and effects of harmonics are described. Measurement and filtering methods are proposed.

N - Characteristics of particular sources and loads Part 1 and part 2 - Specific sources and loads are studied: generators, inverters, induction motors, lighting circuits, LV/LV transformers...

P - Residential and other special locations - The specific installations rules applicable to residential premises and some other locations are presented.

Q - EMC guidelines - This chapter describes the basic rules for ensuring EMC: earthing principles, cable layout, wiring recommendations.
