Residential and other special locations
Electrical installations for residential premises need a high standard of safety and reliability.
The power distribution utility connects the LV neutral point to its MV/LV distribution tranformer to earth. All LV installations must be protected by RCDs. All exposed conductive parts must be bonded together and connected to the earth.
The quality of electrical equipment used in residential premises is commonly ensured by a mark of conformity situated on the front of each item.
In this chapter, you will find a number of electrical wiring explanations and electrical wiring diagrams which relate directly to residential installations.
