ABSTRACT

Clients also have a responsibility for keeping the engineering costs of an installation to a minimum. Some may get deeply involved and place heavy demands on the man-hours allocated to the engineer responsible for the design. In addition, much time and expenditure can be wasted in discussion of the technical requirements with the public utility to whose grid the installation may be connected. For example, the interpretation of obligatory protection requirements may have to be set against different system configurations. The Recommendations of the Electricity Council, referred to in section 2.9, are by no means clear and definitive for every situation, and developers have found that the adoption of these Recommendations is time-consuming.
