Sugestões para atualização da Norma ABNT NBR 5410.

Abstract

NBR 5410 is one of the most important and complete Brazilian standards in the electrical sector. However, since its last update in 2004, new technologies, products and discussions on significant topics such as sustainability, energy efficiency and quality of electric energy have emerged, among other issues that should gain their place in the norm in its next update, which is already in study. This work aims to address some issues that may be part of this new update. Among these propositions are: Drywall and its peculiarities when making electrical installations; USB sockets that with the advancement of technologies and the various electronic devices that are charged through the USB port should already earn their space in modern electrical installations; sensors that are already a reality for a long time in the economy of the use of electric power and finally, the residential automation that have emerged to facilitate and increase the comfort of users. All these matters are already part of our reality and must also be part of a standardization, which best fit in this case would be the NBR 5410 standard.
