Electricity supply systems
The British government agreed January 1995 that the electricity sup-
plies the United Kingdom would harmonized with those the rest of
Europe. All European Union countries will adjust
their voltages comply with nominal voltage 230V single phase and
400V three phase.
It further proposed that the tolerance levels will adjusted 10%
of the declared nominal voltage.0Ω excluding the consumer’s earth electrode for earth supplies (TT
system). will tell you where find the appropriate
revision material this book.
The supply domestic, commercial small industrial consumer’s
installation usually protected the incoming service cable position with
a 100A high breaking capacity (HBC) fuse.

Before beginning this final chapter electrical installation wiring sys-
tems, the City and Guilds syllabus tells revise some the work done
in previous units because they are relevant installing electrical equip-
ment and systems buildings. Thus the voltages used previously low-voltage supply systems
of 415 and 240V have become 400V for three-phase supplies and 230V for
single-phase supplies.35Ω for protective multiple earthing (PME) supplies (TN-C-S system)

Using technical information. From January 1995 the permitted tolerance the nominal volt-
age 10% 6%.
These are two very small chapters and you should refresh your memory of
these topics.

The maximum, that is, worst case value prospective short-circuit current
is 16kA the supply terminals (Ref. The maximum, that is, worst
case value external earth fault loop impedance outside the consum-
er’s domestic installation is:
0. This gives voltage range 216
to 253V for nominal voltage 230V and 376 440V for nominal volt-
age 400V (IEE Regulation Appendix para 14). The Electricity Supply Regulations 1988 have also
been amended permit range variation from the new declared nomi-
nal voltage. This will probably good homework project before you start
