PROTECTIVE MEASURES AGAINST ELECTRICAL HAZARDS OF CONSUMER INSTALLATIONS

摘要

The protection system of a home electrical installation concerns exclusively the private consumer himself and all necessary measures insuring its proper and safe operation is his own responsibility. Electrical installations with an inadequate protection system in conjunction with unforeseeable events like the abruption of an overhead power line have often caused fatal accidents and property damage. The aim of this paper is to focus on such events and to propose measures to prevent similar accidents in the future.
