Features: This guide is written specifically for electrical engineers engaged in the design, installation, inspection, or maintenance of electrical installations, to help them understand whether their work complies with the specifications of the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) international standards. "What technical solutions will ensure compliance with all relevant safety regulations?" is the guiding principle behind the creation of this material. The IEC standard IEC 60364 "Electrical installations of buildings" extensively explains the safety requirements and desired operational characteristics that ensure safety in all types of electrical installations. As a standard must be comprehensive and applicable to all types of products and technical solutions worldwide, the content of IEC standards is comprehensive rather than readily available solutions. Therefore, standards cannot be used as a work manual but only as a reference. The purpose of this guide: To provide clear, practical, and step-by-step explanations to fully understand whether electrical installations comply with IEC 60364 and its related IEC standards. Thus, Chapter B proposes an approach that can be adopted, while each chapter discusses a research step. The last two chapters focus on special power sources, loads, and usage environments. Special attention should be paid to the EMC appendix, which is compiled based on extensive and practical experience with electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) issues. This Chinese version of the guide was translated by Resource Electric Home and reviewed by outstanding technical personnel of Schneider Electric, representing the crystallization of collective wisdom.
