Hey guys! Do you have any good resources on SIL and PL safety stuff?

What shall one do if you get to site the initial is available but upon doing your work and you need to issue supp, you test and the values out of range and does not corrospond with initial C.o.C?

Most electrical discussions online are noise. Opinions without standards. Advice without accountability. This community exists for one reason: to answer real electrical questions with real standards, real clauses, and real-world site experience. What you can expect here: - Breakdowns of common installation mistakes (earthing, bonding, PV, protection) - Clear explanations of why something is compliant or not — not “because someone said so” - Short tools, checklists, and templates you can actually use on site - Open discussion on grey areas in IEC — without ego or installer-bashing Some content will reference South African legislation. The idea is to do a deep dive into various world standards and using IEC as our base. The community is open to all international professionals. If you’re an electrician, inspector, or engineer who’s tired of guessing - you’re in the right place. What do you want to gain from this community and course content?

Most DC-side PV mistakes don’t start with bad cable or bad workmanship.They start with wrong classification. Strings, sub-arrays, arrays, and generators are electrical definitions — not marketing terms and not inverter features. If you get that wrong, every decision that follows (voltage, cables, protection, isolation, testing) is built on the wrong foundation. I’ve added a new classroom course: PV Strings, Arrays, and Sub-arrays This course covers: • What is actually a string, sub-array, array, and generator • Where voltage changes and where current changes • Why inverter topology does not define classification • Why DC-side non-compliances keep repeating on sites 👉 Click on “Classroom” above to start the course. This is the prerequisite for the next courses on conductors, protection, and DC-side compliance.

From 19 December, the IEC 60364 series will be officially published as Draft South African Standards on the SABS Webstore. This is the first formal step in aligning South African installation rules with the full IEC 60364 framework. It means practitioners can now review, comment, and prepare against the draft text before final adoption. If you work with installation design, inspection and installation — this matters. I’ll be posting in the following weeks and months: - What changes in practice (and what doesn’t) - Where common misinterpretations will surface - How to read the IEC without getting lost - Understanding how IEC fits into SANS - International collaboration on understanding IEC 60364 - And much much more
