Design Verification for Electrical Safety
Is Your Electrical Design Verified for Real-World Failures?
Here’s What IS 732 & IEC 60364 Say In the world of electrical safety, it’s not enough to just have a neat electrical design on paper. The real question is—can your electrical design handle faults, overloads, and real-world situations? This is where design verification plays a key role. Following standards like IS 732 (for India) and IEC 60364 (international) helps ensure that your electrical design meets all the safety needs and protects people, buildings, and equipment. At Cape Electric, we focus on helping our clients follow best practices for electrical safety.
What is Electrical Design Verification ?
Electrical design verification is the process of checking if your electrical design can safely handle different types of faults and loads. It answers questions like:
• Are the wires and cables sized correctly?
• Can the system safely shut down during a fault?
• Are proper protective devices are selected and in place?
• Is insulation co-ordination properly done?
• Are the earth/ protective conductors sized correctly?
These steps are crucial for electrical safety, whether it’s a home, office, or factory.
IS 732: Code of Practice for Electrical Wiring Installations
IEC 60364 Part 1-7: Low-voltage electrical installations
IS 732 & IEC 60364 gives guidelines to create a safe electrical design for buildings. It
ensures:
• Proper earthing and bonding.
• Use of correct cables, over current protective devices and surge protective devices.
• Temperature, harmonics and load considerations.
• Regular testing and inspection of installations.
Following IS 732 and or IEC 60364 helps achieve high electrical safety in every project. At Cape Electric, we help you apply these standards correctly to make sure your electrical design is safe and compliant.
