Foreword
GB/T 16895 Low-Voltage Electrical Installations can be divided into 5 parts, which may be
further divided into several sub-parts.
--- Part 1.Fundamental Principles Assessment of General Characteristics Definitions;
--- Part 4.Protection for Safety;
--- Part 5.Selection and Erection of Electrical Equipment;
--- Part 6.Acceptance;
--- Part 7.Requirements for Special Installations and Locations.
This Part is Part 5 of GB/T 16895.Part 5-54.Selection and Erection of Electrical Equipment.
This Part was drafted as per the rules specified in GB/T 1.1-2009.
This Part replaced GB/T 16895.3-2004 Electrical Installations of Buildings - Part 5-54.
Selection and Erection of Electrical Equipment - Earthing Arrangements, Protective
Conductors and Protective Bonding Conductors. Compared with GB/T 16895.3-2004, the
major technical changes of this Part are as follows.
--- Change the standard name into “Low-Voltage Electrical Installations – Part 5-54.
Selection and Erection of Electrical Equipment – Earthing Arrangements and Protective
Conductors”.
--- Clarify the definition of protective conductors. When used for electric shock protection,
protective conductors include protective bonding conductors, protective earthing
conductors and grounding conductors. In order to avoid confusion between protective
conductors and protective earthing conductors, where protective conductors are
specifically referred to as protective earthing conductors, this Part uses protective
earthing conductors instead of protective conductors;
--- Add three examples of PEN conductor connection in the main switchboard;
--- Add Appendix C (Informative) "Erection of Concrete-Embedded Foundation Earth
Electrodes";
--- Add Appendix D (Informative) "Erection of Soil-Embedded Earth Electrodes".
This part used translation method to equivalently adopt IEC 60364-5-54.2011 Low-Voltage
Electrical Installations – Part 5-54.Selection and Erection of Electrical Equipment – Earthing
Arrangements and Protective Conductors.
The Chinese documents that have consistent correspondence with the international documents
cited in this Part are as follows.
--- GB/T 7251.1-2013 Low-voltage switchgear and controlgear assemblies - Part 1.General
rules (IEC 61439-1.2011, IDT)
--- GB/T 7251.12-2013 Low-voltage switchgear and controlgear assemblies - Part 2.Power
switchgear and controlgear assemblies (IEC 61439-2.2011, IDT)
--- GB/T 15544.1-2013 Short-circuit Current Calculation in Three-phase A.C. Systems -
Part 1.Calculation of Currents (IEC 60909-0.2001, IDT)
--- GB/T 21714 (all parts) [IEC 62305 (all parts)]
Compared with IEC 60364-5-54.2011, this Part has completely the same clause No., and
completely the same technical contents; however, it only makes the following editorial
modification.
--- Delete “Annex E” of IEC standard.
This Part was proposed by and under the jurisdiction of National Technical Committee on
Building Electrical Devices of Standardization Administration of China (SAC/TC 205).
