BS7671- Installations complying with IEE Wiring Regulations including regulation 543.7 (formally Section 607)

Electrical installations which are connected to the supply by any other means than a 13A plug (BS6396 installations) must comply with BS7671.
In most instances within the modern office environment, this electrical installation is likely to be an under floor track.
Where the connection is supplying :
         more than one work station (i.e. via a Power distribution unit ), or...
         multiple computers, for example on trading desks then the requirements of regulation 543.7 of BS7671 - Earthing for High Protective Conductor currents will need to be followed.
Office Electrics can provide bespoke solutions in these situations to ensure the operational requirements, as well as those of safety, standards and statutory regulations, are simply and cost effectively achieved.
Power distribution units can be supplied with:
sockets to feed directly to the desktop equipment (fig1.) or,
with Wieland connectors to act as a central connection point on clusters of desks; feeding from this  point to power modules on individual desks. (fig 2.)
All of these units can be fitted with suitable circuit protection to meet regulations and ensure the safety of the installation.
