1. INTRODUCTION
This Case Study is based upon the HD384 European Standards and Regulations. In particular, HD384
concern the respective Harmonization Documents (HD) of the IEC 60364 Standards, as they have been
harmonized by the European comitee CENELEC.
2. ASSUMPTIONS & RULES OF CALCULATION

(a) Basic Relations:
U=IxR
(Ohm law)
W=I xRxt
(current heat)
R=
2l
-----KxA
(circuit resistance)
P=UxI
(power in direct current)
P = U x I x cos
(power of alternating current)
P = 1.73 x U x I x cos
(power of 3-phase curent)
(b) voltage drop and wire cross-section

(b1) voltage drop u (V)
- single-phase
u = 2x
cos
( ------- + x L x sin ) x I x l
x
- three-phase
cos
u = 1.73 x (-------- + x L x sin ) x I x l
x
where:
U: mains voltage in V in a 2 wire system between the wires, in a direct current system of 3 wires
between the 2 main wires, In a three-phase system between the live wires.
u: mains voltage drop in V from the start to the end of the circuit
I: current intensity in A
R: resistance in Ohm
W: Energy in W x s
P: Power in W
K: conductivity
cos: power coefficient

: wire cross-section in mm2

l: line length in m
t: time duration in s
L: inductive wire resistance in /m (=2f, f=50 z)
(b2) cross-section (mm2)

A wire is selected so that the flowing current that passes through is less than the maximum permitted (due
to its cross-section), and also the voltage drop is less than the desired one (it is calculated using the
formulas in paragraph 1).
For the calculation of the allowed current the following parameters are taken under consideration: the wire
type, the passage type, the surrounding temperature, the maximum permitted wire temperature, the layout
and the function.
(b3) Protection instrumentation
The calculation is done in every line using two different methods:
The instrument is selected so that the allowed current is greater that the current of the line
The instrument is selected so that the allowed current is greater that the current of the line, and is
one size lesser than the wires maximum allowed intensity.
(b4) short-circuit current
the allowed short-circuit current is calculated using the following formula:
I=
0.115 A
----------t
where in kA, A is the wire cross section and t the short-circuit duration
The panel short-circuit current is calculated using the following formula:
I=
V
----z
where z the total resistance through the whole length of the wire.
The above formula covers also the three-phase short-circuit situation where the relationship = (3 V)/2z
should be applied.

This Case Study is based upon the HD384 European Standards and Regulations, which comes from the
harmonization of the IEC 60364 Standards by the European comitee CENELEC.
1. Main Supply Counters
The supply comes from the Public network 220/380 V-50Hz. The area where the bar cabinets and the
counters are to be mounted is shown in the drawing plans. One counter per property and an extra counter
for the communal spaces are anticipated.
Near the counters a direct ground will be constructed and connected by a ground wireway made of steeltube or galvanised iron to the ground-bar of the bar cabinets.
Both the entries of the supply cable and its mechanical protection will be indicated by the public company
of electricity.
2. Cabling - Conduit.
i. The panels connecting wiring will be of the NYY or NYM type and in the case where the installation is
embodied to the walls steel pipes will be used.
ii. Wherever the installation is embodied and is not necessary to be of the sealed type the wiring will be of
the type passing through plastic pipes. In the case of a sealed installation (visible or embedded) the
type or the type shall be used. In the case of the NYA type steel pipes will be used with internal
insulation. As sealed type rooms we consider among other the bathrooms, boiler-room, etc.
iii. Especially, when the installation is embodied in the concrete, plastic pipes of the HELIFLEX type will be
used.
iv. The pipe sizes, depended upon the cross-sectional area of the cables, are given below:

For larger cross-sectional wire sizes galvanised iron pipes will be used or plastic pipes for ground
passages.
v. All lines shall include a ground wire.
vi. The horizontal wiring will be installed in a height greater than 2.5 m.
vii. Lighting lines will consist of wires of 1.5 mm cross-section diameter, whereas power lines will consist of
wires of 2.5 mm cross-section diameter.
3. Distribution Panels
The distribution panels will be made of metal, having a protection grade of IP54 or alternately single or
three phased standardised panels of thermoplastic material. Each panel will consist of separate phase,
neutral and ground bars. Furthermore it will also consist of:
Main fuses (of the melting type).

Main switch.
Escape relay of 30mA.
Wiring according to the panel plan.
4. Temporary supply
The temporary supply will be done according to regulations by the proprietor and with the responsibility of
the managing engineer.
It is anticipated that the temporary supply is located in a sealed metallic box, which is grounded and locked
during the non-working hours with the responsibility of the proprietor.
An automatic escape relay must also be installed. Prior the use of the supply, the supervisor engineer must
be called for inspection; otherwise he has no liability in case of an accident. All extension cables shall
include a grounded wire, regardless of the type of tools they supply. The way that they are unfolded must
be such that any damage is excluded and thus accidents are avoided.
(away of personnel passages, vehicles, machines etc.)
5. Notes
i. The wall plugs (outlets) will be grounded and installed in a height of 50 cm from the floor.
ii. All switches will be installed in a height of 80 cm from the floor.
iii. The position of the lights is shown in the drawing plans. Their types are also shown in the plans.
iv. In case of a sealed installation, all outlets, switches and lights will be of the sealed type.
6. Additional protection notes
A bridging of the sanitary ware should be made as well as a connection of the metallic water supplies to
the grounded bars.
7. Trials
