DANSK DSF/PRHD 60364-8-1 PDF

This part 8-1 of IEC 60364 provides additional requirements, measures and recommendations for the design, erection, operation and verification of all types of low voltage electrical installation including local production and storage of energy for optimizing the overall efficient use of electricity. It introduces requirements, recommendations and methods for the design and the energy efficiency (EE) assessment of an electrical installation within the framework of an energy efficiency management approach in order to get the best permanent functionally equivalent service for the lowest electrical energy consumption and the most acceptable energy availability and economic balance. These requirements, recommendations and methods apply, within the scope of the IEC 60364 series, for new installations and modification of existing installations. This document is applicable to the electrical installation of a building or system and does not apply to products. The energy efficiency of these products and their operational requirements are covered by the relevant product standards. Where another standard provides specific requirements for a particular system or installation application (e.g. manufacturing system covered by ISO 20140 series), those requirements supersede this document. This document does not specifically address building automation systems. This basic energy efficiency publication is primarily intended to be used as an EE standard for the LV electrical installations mentioned in this scope, but is also intended for use by technical committees in the preparation of standards in accordance with the principles laid down in IEC Guide 119 and IEC Guide 118.
