In this chapter, you will discover:

  • the dangers related to electric shock, and the protection measures defined by the IEC 60364 standard (basic protection, fault protection and additional protection). And how to implement these protection measures with TN, TT and IT earthing systems
  • the different electrical fire risks and causes, and the technical solutions to mitigate these risks
