DESCRIPTION

Internationally there has been steady progress towards the harmonisation of electrical wiring standards. European standards are based on the international IEC 364 under the umbrella of Harmonisation Document HD 384. The format of these is reflected in the ETCI national rules ET 101: 2008 and the UK IEE wiring regulations BS 7671:2008. This workshop is designed to provide up to date information and training on the current edition of National Rules ET 101: 2008. It will consist of in-depth teaching on all aspects of the national rules and their application with many practical examples and sample design calculations. The workshop includes references to safety, maintenance, inspection and testing. In addition, it provides a summary of some of the basic principles necessary for a good understanding of electrical installation technology.

Need for Standards

To ensure proper interfacing between equipment and systems designed/ manufactured/installed by different agencies. Standards contain stipulations on:

• Sockets, connectors and other connection interfaces used in equipment's to ensure proper matching

• Voltage and Frequency parameters and permissible variations

Page 4: Practical Electrical Wiring Standards - National Rules for Electrical Installations - ET 101:2008

Need for Standards

To ensure manufacturing/Installation quality by defining :

• Functionality

• Safety

• Maintainability

• Ratings and applicable conditions

• Tests to be done to verify the above

Fundamental Principles• Ensuring safety against direct and indirect shocks, thermal effects,

over current, fault current and over voltage

• Aspects that need to be considered in the design

• Selection of electrical equipment in order to suit the supply parameters

• Erection of equipment so as to ensure safety in operation and maintenance

Harmonised Standard

A Harmonised Standard is one which has been drawn up by common agreement between national standards bodies notified to the European Commission by all member states and published under national procedures

– ET 101 Rules are based on IEC 60364 and Cenelec 60364.

– There is no intention at this time of harmonising Cenelec 60364
