of many disturbances as overloads, vibrations, ageing of equipment, trouble

of sensitive equipment, of local area networks, telephone networks. This chapter

them and present the solutions.

N - Characteristics of particular sources Particular supply sources and loads
and loads

circuits or LV/LV transformers

P - Photovoltaic Installations A green and economical energy

Q - Residential premises and other special Generic applications

locations Certain premises and locations are subject to particularly strict regulations: the
most common example being residential dwellings.
R - EMC guidelines EMC Guidelines
Some basic rules must be followed in order to ensure Electromagnetic
Compatibility. Non observance of these rules may have serious consequences in
the operation of the electrical installation: disturbance of communication systems,
nuisance tripping of protection devices, and even destruction of sensitive devices.
S - Measurement Measurement
Measurement is becoming more and more an essential part of the electrical

allocation, power quality ... It also provides a panorama of the relevant standards

A companion tool of the Electrical Installation Ecodial software

Guide Ecodial software[1] provides a complete design package for LV installations,
in accordance with IEC standards and recommendations.
The following features are included:
Construction of one-line diagrams
Calculation of short-circuit currents according to several operating modes
(normal, back-up, load shedding)
Calculation of voltage drops
Optimization of cable sizes
Required ratings and settings of switchgear and fusegear
Selectivity of protective devices
Optimization of switchgear using cascading

Comprehensive print-out of the foregoing calculated design data

[1] Ecodial is a Schneider Electric software available in

installation standards.
