What types of electrical installations are there?
When it comes to electrical installations, it’s crucial to understand the different types available and their specific applications. An electrical installation is essentially a set of circuits designed to carry and distribute electrical current from its source to points of use. Here, we’ll explore the various types of electrical installations based on their usage and voltage.
Types of electrical installations based on usage:
Generating installations: These installations produce electrical energy from other forms of energy, creating an electromotive force. Transport installations: These refer to electrical lines that connect different installations, which can be underground or overhead. Transforming installations: They transform electrical energy by modifying its parameters, such as voltage, for proper transport or use. Receiving installations: These are the most common and are found in most industries and homes, intended to receive and use electrical energy.
Types of electrical installations based on voltage:
High and medium voltage: Mainly used in large industrial consumers, these installations handle considerable powers, with a potential difference exceeding 1000 volts. Low voltage: These are the most common installations in domestic and commercial environments, with a maximum potential difference between two conductors of less than 1000 volts and more than 24. Very low voltage: Less common due to their limited power capacity, these installations operate with a potential difference of less than 24 volts, restricting the use of high-power devices.
