        Periodic Inspections according to DIN VDE 0105

        Electrical Building Installations and their Equipment

        by Klaus Bödeker, Michael Lochthofen, Kirsten Rohlof

        The assessment of existing electrical installations carries a great deal of responsibility and can be fraught with many more pitfalls than the initial testing of installations.This practical guide takes the electrician step by step through the organisational preparation, technical implementation, evaluation and recording of periodic inspections for both domestic and commercial installations.Naturally, this 5th, updated edition takes into account the current Ordinance on Industrial Safety and Health, VDE 0105-100/A1:2017-06, as well as DIN VDE 0701 and 0702. Topics included: Necessity and consequences of periodic inspections, Obligation to periodic inspection, Protective measures, repeat testing procedures, Periodic inspection in different types of buildings, Periodic inspection of electrical devices/equipment, Periodic inspection of electrical machine equipment and mobile generators, Test equipment, Occupational health and safety during periodic inspection, Preparation of periodic inspections for electricians.

        Energy Consulting for Buildings

        Basics, Systems, Usage

        by Martin Pfeiffer, Achim Bethe, Dirk Fanslau-Görlitz, Holger Janßen, Gerd Kaellander

        The regulations of the German Building Energy Act (GEG), which have been in force since 2021 make the topic of "energy consulting of buildings" a top priority for all those who are concerned with appropriate measures for new and existing buildings.This book serves as a decision-making aid for choosing the appropriate energy modernization and new construction measures for residential and non-residetial buildings.In particular, it addresses the following topics: Building-related dimensions of sustainability, building life cycles Fundamentals of heat transfer as a central phenomenon of energy efficiency. Building energy planning with a focus on ultra-low energy buildings: legal requirements, energy technology, automation through digital regulation and control options, and quality management including testing and certification procedures Energy consulting for buildings according to VDI 3922 sheets 1 - 3 and concretely realizable measures for new and existing buildings Building energy management, especially in the context of the Continuous Improvement Process (CIP) as well as according to selected aspects of DIN EN ISO 50001

        Energy Storage on LV Grids

        Planning, Installation and Operation of Battery Storage Systems

        by Marc Fengel

        To ensure availability in future decentralized energy generation and consumption, electrical energy storage systems are inevitable. They store electrical energy of generation plants (e.g. the photovoltaic system) when sun is shining and make energy available again at any time. That means that energy is consumed where it is generated, reducing grid losses and creating self-sufficiency. However, this also increases the complexity of systems. Which makes it more difficult for planners, installers and operators to construct such systems safely and in accordance with the recognized rules of technology, to integrate them into existing systems and to operate them safely. This book deals with the various storage concepts, taking into account the currently valid installation regulations. It serves as a guide for planners, installers and operators on the complex topic of storage systems. The following topics are included: Terms and definitions Application of technical regulations VDE-AR-E 2510-2 Operating modes Protective measures in electrical plants with storage Erection of generating plants Requirements for grid connection Installation of storage tanks Testing of storage tanks

        Testing of Electrical Systems, Vol. 1

        Basics, Evaluation criteria, Protection goals

        by Marc Fengel

        Not all testing is the same. What DIN VDE 0100-600 means for installers of electrical systems, DIN VDE 0105-100 is for operators. But even beyond that, comprehensive and broad knowledge is required for testing electrical systems.Volume 1 provides inspectors, experts, consultants, planners and operators with an overview of the planning principles for electrical systems and the requirements for test personnel. It also deals with the legal principles of the german Energy Industry Act (EnWG), Product Safety Act (ProdSG) and Occupational Health and Safety Act (ArbSchG).

        Compliant Organization in Electrical Engineering

        Practical Guide to Establishmentand Continuation

        by Bernd Landsiedel, Arunas Grau

        How do I ensure a legally compliant organization in electrical engineering? How to organize my employees who work in this area? Which tasks need to be assigned to a responsible electrician (EFKffT, according to DIN VDE 1000-10) and how much time will he need?Bernd Landsiedel's book is a comprehensive guide to such questions. It provides quick, concise help based on numerous practical examples. Among other things, it covers organizational and management duties, the establishment and continuation of a proper organization, the role of risk assessments according to Industrial Safety Laws (ArbSchG, BetrSichV), principles of liability, important control functions of a responsible electrician to avoid liability issues, as well as insurance coverage for persons in the field of electrical engineering (professional liability, public liability).Thanks to the combination of legal and technical background knowledge, clear structure and downloadable sample forms, plus explanatory videos, you will find the support you need - quick, easy and in line with the situation.

        Automation technology

        by Norbert Becker

        In this standard work, the automation technology is illustrated from a practical point of view with many examples and numerous pictures. Students of engineering sciences, as well as engineers and technicians in training and professional practice, are able to work independently on the state of the art. The additional or revised chapters on machine safety, safety in process engineering systems, explosion protection and configuration extend the book considerably. For almost every chapter there are comprehension questions and exercises, the solution of which is contained in the appendix. Programming exercises, which are provided free of charge online, make it possible to solve simple automation problems in a practical way. Content: introduction Measuring technology, setting technology controls automation components Practical control technology Examples of overriding requirements for automation components (safety in mechanical engineering and process engineering, explosion protection), Project planning (project implementation, R & I flow diagrams, equipment identification) Annex (ARW measures, adjustment rules, solutions)
