Engineering notes.

Practical notes on standards, calculations and systems — written by the engineers who design and install them.

01

IEC 60364 in practice: what a compliant installation includes

The checks, protective measures and documentation that separate a compliant low-voltage installation from one that simply works.

02

DIALux: why lux levels belong in the design stage

Lighting calculated before installation costs less to get right — and avoids reworking ceilings after handover.

03

Selectivity explained: one fault, one breaker

How coordinated protection keeps a single fault from taking the whole building offline.

04

Addressable or conventional fire alarm?

05

KNX or DALI? Lighting control for apartments and hotels

Two open protocols, two different jobs — and when it makes sense to combine them.

06
