Demystifying IEC 61936-1: Designing High-Voltage Power Installations The section on protection against electric shock (including
Substations, electrical installations on masts/poles, power stations on a single site, and industrial or commercial electrical systems. electrical installations on masts/poles
Unlike equipment-focused standards, 61936-1 covers the entire installation: clearances, earthing, fire protection, access control, and warning signs. The section on protection against electric shock (including touch and step voltages) is particularly well-integrated with IEC 61936-1's own earthing calculations.
A well-written, essential standard that excels at "general requirements" but deliberately leaves component-level and advanced analysis to other standards. Keep it on your shelf – but keep its companion standards closer.
