21、2011 CLC/TR 50480:2011 (E)- 5 - Introduction The harmonised rules for the erection of electrical low voltage installations, HD 384/HD 60364, require selection, dimensioning and calculation for the components of an electrical installation. In complex installations long and detailed calculations may b
22、e needed. The rules of HD 384/HD 60364 give the basic principles without the details necessary for an accurate application. Computers with appropriate software enable the applicable rules for the determination of conductor cross-section area and selection of protective devices to be applied readily.
23、 It is important that the results of such software programs are in accordance with the harmonised rules. Therefore this Technical Report defines the different reference parameters necessary for the calculation of the cross-sectional area of the conductors and for the selection of the protective devi
24、ces. It also gives the reference methods for calculation according to the different safety rules defined in the Harmonisation Documents of the series HD 384/HD 60364. PD CLC/TR 50480:2011 CLC/TR 50480:2011 (E)- 6 - 1 Scope This Technical Report applies to low-voltage installations with a nominal sys
25、tem frequency of 50 Hz in which the circuits consist of insulated conductors, cables or busbar trunking systems. It defines the different parameters used for the calculation of the characteristics of electrical wiring systems in order to comply with rules of HD 384/HD 60364. These rules are mainly t
26、he following: - current-carrying capacities of the conductors; - characteristics of protective devices in regard to protection against overcurrent; - verification of thermal stress in conductors due to short-circuit current or earth fault current; - fault protection (protection against indirect cont
27、act) in TN systems and IT systems; - limitation of voltage drop; - verification of mechanical stresses during short-circuit in busbar trunking systems (BTS) according to EN 60439-2 or powertrack systems according to EN 61534 series. The calculations provided in this Technical Report are only applica
28、ble where the characteristics of the circuits are known. For the purpose of this document, when referring to Busbar Trunking Systems, Powertrack Systems are also considered. NOTE 1 Mechanical stress during short-circuit is covered by IEC 60865. NOTE 2 In general these calculations concern supply by
29、HV/LV transformer, but they are also applicable to supply by LV/LV transformer and LV back-up generators. NOTE 3 Effects of harmonics currents are not covered by this document. This Technical Report is also applicable for checking the compliance of the results of calculations performed by software p
