Foreword
This book BlectricalInstallation Guide accordingto IEC Intermational Standards* whichis piledand printed in English by Schneider Electric facitatesutilization of the EC 60364 series ofintermational standards concerned with safety.guarding control.performance and protection of circuits. together with fundamentals and rules ofelectrical installtion design. Moreover the book contains topics of extreme importance that cover wide fields of electric power systemsand their installations in different faolities.ThisAs ue pue pay o u sepeds pue aoujua renders the book a useful reference to each application guide to such intermational standards and their
prehensive electric installtion content has SASO in recognition of the guide's important andtranslatedit into Arabic to enable researchers andspecialists to benefit fromit in Arabicif the desire.
In its capacity as the body entrusted with isuing and approving Saudi standards SASO attachesparticularimportance to verification of safety inelectrical installation in buildings. SASOis also acting assiduously to plete work on thenational regulations of electrical installationstandards which are adopted as Saudistandards. based upon IEC 60364 series of international In view of the divergence of theitems of suchstandards and the many technical options offered issuing an aplication guide to thesestandards is extremely useful. To this effect theSaudi national regulations of electrical installation in buildings will be used.The guide being introduced here will be an important reference for the electricalinstallation guide according to Saudi standards*as part of the Saudi national regulations of electrical installtioninbuildings.
