Confirm the nominal 230/400 V a.c. or project-specific voltage basis, 50 Hz context where applicable, phase arrangement, metric units, manufacturer information, DNSP or authority conditions and current project documents before applying a result.

Use the workflow note beside the circuit, board, equipment, load schedule or measurement record it supports.
