Detailed knowledgeof the wiring rulesThe purpose of this
document is to clearly
present the most
frequently encountered
sets of wiring rules,showing the main
technical characteristics
of each set of installation
and main accessories
standards. Obviously, on
any given project, it is
essential that the design
engineers work should
be based on a detailed
knowledge of the wiring
regulations and standards
which are applicable in
the specific country.This document compares
the basic framework
of the standards.
Therefore, it is essential
for the design engineer
to obtain more detailed
information by contacting
the appropriate standards
and building regulations
organisations.

Overview of the installation
and related wiringaccessories standard
tSUPPLYSince 1 January 1995 nominal vol-tage in UK is 230 V +10% / - 6% a.c.at 50 Hz. Earth is normally supplied
but may be local.
tHOUSE SERVICE CUT-OUTThe Electricity Boards protectivedevice, usually a 80 A or a 100 AHRC Fuse. It is sealed in a specialhousing to prevent tampering.
tMETERUsually a dual meter for normaland off-peak energy consumption,
sealed to prevent tampering.
tCONSUMER UNITIt houses the main switch whichisolates the total installation andthe individual circuit protectiondevices. The consumer unit shouldcomply with BS EN 60439-3.Circuit protection is normallyprovided by miniature circuitbreakers to BS EN 60898 (olderinstallation may have fuse
protection). The consumer unit mayalso contain one or more residualcurrent devices providing additizo-nal protection in all or part of theinstallation (older installations maynot have RCD protection provided).
tPOWER CIRCUITSAppliances having heavy currentconsumption (cookers, water-heaters, etc.) should each besupplied on a specific circuit
of the appropriate rating.
In general, a double pole switchcontrols and isolates the appliancewhen necessary and the connectionof the appliance can be made
either directly to the switch or viaa flexible cable outlet. Switchesshould conform to BS EN 60669and Cooker Control unit to BS 4177.

1 gang 75 mm 75 mm 60.5 mm
2 gang 75 mm 135 mm 121 mm
tSOCKET OUTLET CIRCUITSSocket outlets should comply withBS 1363-2 and are usually of theswitched type. They are usuallysupplied via a ring final circuitwhich is a circuit running fromthe protection device to each outletand then returning to the protectiondevice. Permanent connectionsto a ring final circuit and branchesoff the ring are made via fused
connection units to BS 1363-4.
Socket outlets to BS 546 areno longer used in domesticinstallations in the UK but are stillwidely used in some other countries.
tPLUGSPlugs of domestic appliancesshould conform to BS 1363-1.They contain a fuse linkto BS 1362 of a rating appropriateto the flexible cord of the appliance(max =13 A). Domestic appliancessold in UK must be fitted with
a BS 1363-1 plug, further the UKplug and socket safety regulationsrequire mandatory third partycertification of plugs.
tLIGHTING CIRCUITSUsually a circuit supplies severallighting points in turn. A lightingpoint usually consists of a ceilingrose in which incoming, outgoingand switch connections are madeand a pendant flexible cordsupplying an attached lampholderor may be a complete luminaire.Light switches should meetBS EN 60669-1. Dimmers shouldmeet BS EN 60669-2-1.

tBATHROOMSThe wiring regulations are verystrict. Every switch or other meansof electrical control or adjustment
shall be so situated as to benormally inaccessible in thebathroom. The required Ingressprotection is managed througha series of defined zonesprogressively from the bathor shower. Pull cord switchesare allowed, shaver sockets withisolating transformers are alsoallowed but should conformto BS EN 61558-2-5.
tOUTDOORSAny socket outlet providedoutdoors or intended to supplyoutdoor equipment (e.g. electric
lawn-mowers should havea 30 mA RCD protection).
tEARTHINGSocket outlets to BS1363-2have provision for earthing.A protective conductor (which could
also be steel conduit) is generallyrequired for all low voltage circuits(1000 V a.c. between conductors)and its continuity must be proved.All main incoming services,for example, water and gas pipesand metallic parts of the buildingstructure, etc. must be bondedand connected to the mainearthing terminal of the installation.In addition it may be necessaryto supplementary bond water
and waste pipes, sinks and othermetallic items such as centralheating radiators. However inrooms with a fixed bath or shower,supplementary bonding mustbe applied to simultaneouslyaccessible metal parts unlessRCD protection of all circuitsin the bathroom is provided.
tPOLARITYThe polarity is conserved and
marked throughout the installation:Live:Terminals marked L are for browncoloured insulated conductors,both solid conductors and flexibleconductors are coloured brownNeutral:Terminals marked N are for bluecoloured insulated conductors,both solid conductors and flexibleconductors are coloured blue.Earth:
Terminals marked E or arefor green/yellow coloured
insulated earth conductors,both solid conductors and flexibleconductors are either colouredgreen or yellow or sleeved as such.
tCABLINGMost domestic wiring is done inflat p.v.c. insulated and sheathed3 core cable (flat twin and earth).Maximum use is made of floorand internal wall voids to runcables. Surface installationsare run in conduit or trunking,these can be plastic or metal.Various British standards governthe design and construction of
conduits, trunking and cable.Wiring accessories may beinstalled in plastic or (more often)metal flush boxes to BS 4662.Surface installations are madein appropriate proprietary boxes.
Typically:
BS 7671, Requirements for ElectricalInstallations is published by the Institutionof Engineeringand Technology and BSI, it governs all domesticelectrical installations (and many other types).Copies are available from:
THE INSTITUTION OF ENGINEERINGAND TECHNOLOGYMICHAEL FARADAY HOUSESIX HILLS WAY,STEVENAGE, SG1 2AY UK
BS 7671 is also available from BSI,The va rious Briti sh standards governingthe constructio n of elec trica l equipment are alsoavailable at the BSI shop on their website:www.bsigroup.com
BSI also maintains a database availablefor enquiries covering all British standards.

Neutral is re-earthed at entry.Earth is local.
tMETERUsually a weatherproof unitoutside the house.
tSERVICE PANELRatings of 60 A, 100 A, 150 Aand 200 A exist. The Service
Panel (or Service Entrance Panel)usually contains a Main Disconnectdevice and the necessary protectivedevices for the sub-circuits.
tPOWER CIRCUITSAppliances having heavy powerconsumption (ranges, water-heaters,etc.) are supplied on a specificcircuit, often 120/240 V. Varioussocket outlets of appropriate ratingsare available, these are non-interchangeable, thus 2 Phase +Neutral + Earth plug cannot be fittedto a 2 Phase + Earth socket, etc.
tGENERAL PURPOSE CIRCUITSThese are 120 V-15 A and supplysocket outlets (IP+N+G).Thesecircuits supply bedrooms, etc.
where the use of a large numberof appliances is unlikely. Note thatall general purpose socket outletsmust be of the grounding type.
tAPPLIANCE CIRCUITSThe 120 V-20 A circuits supplyareas such as kitchens,dining-rooms. etc., when there isa likelihood of more intensive useof appliances. The NEC [NationalElectrical Code) requires at leasttwo appliance circuits for a domes-tic installation.Only socket outletsmay be supplied on an appliancecircuit.All domestic use NEMA 5-15Rand 5-20R receptacles must betamper resistant.
tPLUGSVarious types of plugs existto match the various configurationsof socket outlets.

ENERGY EFFICIENCYLighting is a significant consumerof energy in commercial buildings:
- 20 % of total site energy is consumed by lightingin commercial buildings.- Lighting is the first electricity end-userin a commercial building with up to 40 % electricityconsumed.NB: Energy end-use distribution greatly varies depending on the activityof the building and across geographical and climate regions (sources:Department of Energy Buildings and Energy Information Administration, USA).
With heating and air-conditioning, lighting accountsfor the greatest energy consumption and costsof a building.
These significant costs can be managed more effectivelythrough the use of lighting management.
Each year, more organizations implement lightingmanagement because they recognize the wide rangeof benefits:Energy savings, Economic savings, Code compliance,Sustainability building practice...
THE RIGHT PRODUCT FOR EACH APPLICATIONBecause of different types of spaces, mostprojects require multiple solutions to maximizeenergy savings and occupants satisfaction.
By installing lighting management and otherautomated controls, energy waste is totallyavoided and the building only consumes
the necessary amount of energy when needed.Legrand commits to providing customers withcomplete and transparent information on actualsavings for its lighting management solutions.Please contact us for more information.
BUS/SCS system for local and centralised managementSwitch sensors for automatic management
Up to 55 % energy savingbased on EN 15193 standard(with occupancy sensors+ manual switch + daylighting sensor)*
