• Appendix 4 : • A new contents page with additional tables (4A3)• Methods of installation of cables have changed from
numbers to lettersExamples:• 1. M4 -> A, 2. M3 -> B, 3. M1 and M11 -> C• Specific methods for Domestic installations (100, 101,
102: applicable to table 4D5)New formula to assess grouping factor in enclosures
• Where F is the de-rating factor; n is the number of grouped cables

Appendix 4 - Harmonics in 3-phase systems
Harmonic distortion is the change of the supply voltage from the ideal sinusoidal waveform
Caused by:Interaction of distorting customer loads with the change in supply
network impedancePrimary effects are:1. Overheating of induction motors, 2. Overheating of transformers, 3. Damage to PF capacitors4. Overloading of neutrals5. Interaction of harmonic currents with power factor
correction capacitors causing gross amplification through resonance and serious damage to system components
BS7671 2015: Appendix 4Harmonics on Balanced three phase systemsFor higher frequency harmonics with conductors < 50mm2 use the
formula:
Use table 11 for 3rd harmonic as shown in examples
Appendix 4Application of rating factors for triple harmonic currents
Appendix 4
Application of rating factors for higher frequency harmonic currents
Apply formula to following example
A 3 phase 30kW 0.85 pf VSD machine contains within its line currents 45% 3rd harmonic, 30% 5th harmonic, 20% 9th harmonic and 15% 12th harmonic currents calculate the correction factor/s to be applied to the conductors

Multiple supplies – DefinitionsOutlining methods of earthing with or without NeutralsExample: An AC TN-C-S system
Appendix 9TN-C-S DC system, earthed midpoint conductor M and protective conductor is combined in one single conductor as part of the installation
Reg 8(4) of the Electricity, Safety, Quality and continuity regs 2002 states that a consumer shall not combine the neutral and protective functions I a single conductor in the consumers installation

Conductors in Parallel – protection against overcurrentUsed to supply greater currents than the max current
capacity of a single conductordomesticObvious example might be a ring final circuitIndustrialFeeders where multiple singles are used or trefoil 3 phase conductors are laid in parallel

From OSG table 9A, 9B, 9C =– The external impedance found by enquiry – not
recommended – or by measurement– By enquiry TNS = 0.8, TN-C-S = 0.35, TT = 21– By Measurement: TNS < 0.8, TN-C-S < 0.35, TT ≤ 1667

Annex to Appendix 14• Calculating Prospective Earth Fault
Currents
– Appendix 3, Section 411, 434• For the protective device to operate correctly the
open circuit voltage at the source of supply must be taken
– From Appendix 3 time –current characteristics for standard protective devices show the minimum fault current needed to operate the protective device and disconnect the circuit within the time to comply with BS7671
