Fault-level and load data
The prospective short-circuit current at each board is taken from the network study (IEC 60909), together with load and diversity data.

Selectivity and back-up protection
Discrimination between upstream and downstream devices is verified from manufacturer tables or time-current curves, and back-up protection is applied where it is used.

Earth-fault and shock protection
Residual-current devices and automatic disconnection of supply are verified against fault-loop impedance and disconnection times (IEC 60364-4-41).
