Electrical Standards

Unobtainium?

I would stay anonymous, if I were you.

Isnt that what they pay you for?

Create one, then.

Let us know when you've got that put together.

thanks Iyn for your effort & reply, but I need the comparator for Electrical standards / codes for various parameters like lighting, earthing, different type of cables etc.

My advice to you is to aquire the various standards and out forth the effort to compare them, one with another. I do not believe the single document you want exisits, yet.

Done properly, you likely could sell it.

I am not aware of any single document, and even if there were it would likely be obsolete (standards are revised on a regular basis).

What the rest of us do is purchase the standards, read them and then do the comparison ourselves. A bit expensive and a lot of work I know, but that is what has to happen.

For simple, short questions or comparisons between small sections of the standards you may find something on the internet or get someone here to give you an answer, but you will still need copies of the standards to back up your claims/suggestions/design/etc. If this is too difficult you could work with a consultancy and get them to advise you but that would be expensive.

If the next question is where to find the standards for free, you need to purchase them from the standards websites.

That's odd. So does Anonymous Poster #1.

A reference book comparing the various standards is liable to be bigger that all the originals.

Don't be so tight, if you need them for your work, you have to pay and also do the legwork resolving the differences.

If to be specific I need the IS & IEC equivalent for the below:

There were some more and I have figured out for them, but I am not able to get the equivalent for these.

Have you compared the specifications yourself?

Or, are you asking someone to provide the information for you?

• Those standards beginning BS are only applicable to the UK and other countries that have chosen to adopt them; the Republic of Ireland is among them. The problem is that other countries have different voltages and frequencies, so the standards are going to be different. There are about 27 different styles of domestic plugs and sockets across the globe as a consequence - try Wikipedia for electrical distribution comparison across countries, and go from there, perhaps?
• Anything with IEC is an international standard, therefore no comparison is available or applicable.
• Anything with EN is a pan-Europe standard, as applicable in Denmark as it is in Portugal, for example.

I have searched for these, but was not able to find.

Why does the need exist?

Just to add to the complexity of comparing standards, most countries that adopt IEC standards do so with Deviations. So, a UK, German, Italian and Canadian version of the same IEC standard could be different in various sections.

Bottom line - what the OP wants is very difficult to accomplish and would be time sensitive.
