Terms of Use & Safety Notice
1. What fuseplan.app is (and is not)
fuseplan.app is a planning tool. You use it to lay out the contents of an electrical sub-distribution board and it produces a parts list.
fuseplan.app is not a shop. No goods are sold, no purchase contract for components is concluded and no payments are processed.
2. Buying via Amazon (affiliate links)
About the parts list and the shopping list: fuseplan.app compiles the matching components on Amazon and links each part to its Amazon product page or, where there is no fixed article, to an Amazon search. “Open all articles on Amazon” opens these pages at once. There you compare the offers and add the articles to your basket yourself. The actual purchase, the sales contract, delivery, warranty and support are handled entirely by Amazon or the respective Amazon seller.
The links are Amazon affiliate links. As a participant in the Amazon Associates programme, fuseplan.app may earn a commission on qualifying purchases, at no extra cost to you.
Product selection, prices, availability and brand mapping on Amazon can change at any time and may differ from what is shown here. Before buying, check yourself that the article, type, rated current and characteristic match your plan.
3. Qualified electricians only
Work on the fixed electrical installation (230 V / 400 V), including fitting, altering and connecting a sub-distribution board, must be carried out only by a qualified electrician (in Germany: an installation firm entered in a network operator’s installer register, § 13 NAV).
Lay persons must not make any changes to the distribution board or the fixed installation. Configurations created with fuseplan.app are non-binding suggestions and are no substitute for planning, sizing, calculation and verification by a qualified electrician in accordance with the applicable standards (e.g. IEC 60364 / DIN VDE 0100 series). fuseplan.app covers rooms, final circuits and sub-distribution boards. It does not plan the service connection, the meter cabinet (VDE-AR-N 4100), photovoltaics, battery storage, earthing or lightning protection and its cable proposals are table values for one installation method, not a conductor sizing.
4. The five safety rules
Before starting any work on electrical installations, apply the five safety rules in this order (EN 50110-1 / DIN VDE 0105-100):
- Disconnect completely: isolate the installation from all supply conductors.
- Secure against re-connection: e.g. remove fuse links, lock off the switch, apply a warning sign.
- Verify that the installation is dead: on all poles, with a suitable, tested two-pole voltage detector.
- Earth and short-circuit: mandatory above certain conditions at low voltage, otherwise per risk assessment.
- Provide protection against adjacent live parts: cover or barrier them off.
The rules are lifted in reverse order.
5. Beta status and disclaimer
fuseplan.app is in an early beta phase. Some features, such as buying the parts list directly, are still being built and layouts, calculations and the parts list can change at any time. The beta status creates no entitlement to availability, freedom from errors or the continuation of any particular feature.
fuseplan.app gives no warranty as to the completeness, correctness, standards-compliance or suitability of the configurations, parts lists and schematics shown for any specific application. The same applies to the content of our blog posts. The ready-made configurations are examples that show what the planner can do. They are not designed for any specific installation and we give no warranty that they are functional. Use is at your own risk. Execution by a qualified electrician in accordance with the recognised rules of technology remains mandatory.
Use of fuseplan.app is free of charge. We are liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence, for injury to life, body or health and under the German Product Liability Act (Produkthaftungsgesetz). For slight negligence we are only liable if we breach an essential obligation, meaning an obligation whose fulfilment makes the use of fuseplan.app possible in the first place and on whose fulfilment you may rely. Liability is then limited to the foreseeable damage typical for this kind of service. Liability for slight negligence is otherwise excluded. This also applies to damage arising from purchases made via affiliate links.
6. Feedback, comments and moderation
On fuseplan.app you can give feedback, report ideas and bugs, comment on articles, vote on posts and react to articles. How we handle data when you do is described in the privacy policy.
We read every post before it appears. We approve, reject and delete posts by hand. Once we have approved several posts from a remembered device, we can mark the device as trusted. Its posts then appear without being read first. Against spam we limit posts, votes and reactions per internet connection and your browser solves a small puzzle before sending.
We do not approve posts, or we delete them, if they
- break the law, for example insult or threaten someone or infringe the rights of others,
- are advertising or spam,
- contain personal data such as postal addresses, phone numbers or email addresses,
- have nothing to do with FusePlan, electrical planning or the article they comment on.
There is no entitlement to a post being published or kept.
Reporting illegal content
If you think a post is illegal, write to the email address in the Impressum. Give the address of the page and the post, explain why it is illegal and include your name and email address. Please also confirm that your information is accurate and complete to the best of your knowledge. We confirm receipt, look at the post and tell you what we decided. The board does not store email addresses, so we usually cannot notify the author of a post we block or delete.
7. Manufacturer names and trademarks
fuseplan.app names manufacturers such as Hager, ABB and Schneider Electric so you can plan with real part numbers and module widths. These names are trademarks of their respective owners. fuseplan.app is independent and has no business relationship with any of these manufacturers. Its only relationship with Amazon is its participation in the Amazon Associates programme (see section 2).
No manufacturer has reviewed or approved the configurations, parts lists or the mapping to part numbers. Part numbers and dimensions may differ from the manufacturer’s current specifications. The manufacturer’s data sheets take precedence.
