So, let look these essential safety
elements. The method most universally used the United Kingdom
to provide for the safe use electrical energy protective equipotential
bonding coupled with automatic disconnection the supply fuses or
miniature circuit breakers (MCBs). This prevents any one phase being overloaded.Basic Electrical Installation Work

efficiency transmission increased. That is, the load should equally
distributed across the three phases that each phase carries approxi-
mately the same current.19.
When single-phase loads are supplied from three-phase supply, the load
should ‘balanced’ across the phases. 5. installation that meets the requirements the

● protection against electric shock (Chapter 41)
● protection against overcurrent (Chapter 43)
● isolation and switching (Chapter 53).
Safe electrical installations
The provision safe electrical system fundamental the whole
concept using electricity and around buildings safely. The elec-
trical installation whole must protected against overload and short
circuit damage and the people using the installation must protected
against electric shock.
The consumer’s mains equipment normally fixed close the point at
which the supply cable enters the building. These are:
● 400 and 275kV for the super grid
● 132kV for the original grid
● and 33kV for secondary transmission
● 11kV for high-voltage distribution
● 400 for commercial consumer supplies
● 230 for domestic consumer supplies. order standardize equipment,
standard voltages are used.
