Characteristics of particular sources and loads
From Electrical Installation Guide
Particular types of electrical sources and loads are covered in this chapter:
- supply sources such as generators or inverters
- loads with special characteristics, such as induction motors, lighting circuits or LV/LV transformers
It provides technical reference on their specificities, how this impacts the electrical installation sizing, in particular how to select the related protection and control switchgear.
