 Worked in US Navy, Bahrain, exposed to International Standard, IEC 60364 5
 Prepared By: Mr. Gajaria Gokal, B.E. and M.E., USA
As Per IEC Standard, Shock and Fire can be Prevent by Installation two devices, RCD and AFDD. 2/2
1. RCD 30 mA: Residual Current Device (RCD) 30mA for Protection against Shock Cost Rs. 1500

2. 300mA RCD: Combutional Materials: Textiles, Paper, wood and etc. Cost Rs. 5,000 to Rs. 10,000

3. Arc Fault Detection Device (AFDD): Fire Protection due to Arc. Use in USA since 2009 and Europe
2012. Still, this still not in Indian Standard. Recommend for Important Building, Museums, High rise

Courses Timing:
 We conduct course for one day, two days, one week and one month.

Who Can attend?

Fundamental of Residual Current Device (RCD)

RCDs are widely, widely used for
protection against shock and fire.
• Addition Protection against shock
Circuit L and N conductor of circuit:
• Pass through Current Transformer
(CT), L and N Currents are same.
• Magnetic field are cancelled.
• No induce current in CT at C
Fault occurs at PE:
• Current not equal in L and N so
Magnetic field do not cancel
• induce current in CT at C
• Leakage current sense by Electronic
circuit, relay to trip breaker. 45

Principal of RCD
• I1 and I2 pass through CT
Breaker
• Current are equal. So No current

cancel each other.
• Fault at F
• Current I1 and I2 not equal.

OUTDOOR HIGH RISK Shock Location, Wet body, Wet Location, bare foot,
Standing on open Earth
Shock protection outdoor is most
challenging and require careful
planning:
Indoor Socket
• Many people get killed outdoor. with RCD
• All lights and sockets up to 32A 30mA
outdoor with RCD 30mA, IP44
Use Indoor socket RCD 30mA in dry
location for outdoor equipment
.
• RCD 30mA is not install in DB then
• Use UK sockets with plug adaptor.
Danger, Outdoor sockets:
• Do not install outdoor sockets.
• Very difficult to get qualified train
electricians to install outdoor socket

• Wet Body, wet Ground,
bare boot may be killed
Light Pole Electric

Light poles with connection of
supply at bottom with plate
cover. May be opened
• Children can easily touch
open connection and

Outdoor High Increase Shock Risk Location

Many outdoor accident happens
• Wet area, wet body, bare foot,
standing in open group, easy path for
shock current to complete circuits.
• Outdoor electrical is most challenging
and require proper planning.
Shock protection: All circuits
• RCD 30mA
Important: Socket indoor, dry area
• Prefer socket RCD 30mA indoor
• or DB with RCD 30mA for socket
• Prefer, All outdoor festoon lights IP44,

Most Electric Fire due to Cable

•Cable produce heat <
insulation Plastic melts in
seconds < Arc produce <
fire and smoke with in few
seconds. 59
 Prepared By: Mr. Gajaria Gokal, B.E. and M.E., USA.

Main Cause of Fire due to cable

Main cause of Fire:
• Cable Produce heat and heat dissipate in air.
• Cables enclosed in group in conduit or Group together do not dissipate heat
• Cable current rating to reduce.
• Under size of cable.
Main factors:
• Grouping is main cause of fire because heat does not dissipate.
• Install in void of building, if heat does not dissipate.
Solution:
• Check Cable Installation location can dissipate heat in air
Cable current rating correction factors,
• Grouping
• Ambient temperature and thermal insulation use in UK.
• Most Important select correct size of cable after correction factors.
