Power factor
Power factor is the ratio of the resistance (R) and impedance (Z) in a circuit, that is:Power factor = cos ∅ =R/Z
Prospective fault current (Ipf)
Prospective Fault Current (Ipf) is the value of overcurrent at a given point in a circuit resulting from a fault of negligible impedance between live conductors having a difference of
Back-up Protection
Circuit-breaker manufacturers publish tables showing combinations of pairs of circuitbreakers, one upstream,one downstream,where the downstream device can be used at a location where the prospective fault current (Ipf) is higher
Basic protection
Protection against electric shock under fault-free conditions;use of barriers,placing out of reach,and so forth.
Pre-contract BEP
On projects where ISO 19650 Framework has implemented a term, Pre-appointment BEP is used instead of the PAS 1192 term Pre-contract BEP. The meaning is the same, it communicates on
