The fortnightly rhythm — the 20x a year (including four doubles: January, July, August, September) — follows the electrical year's rhythm: the fairs, the norms.

The knowledge coverage — the Bus- und Gebäudetechnik, Elektroinstallation, Energietechnik, Messen/Prüfen/Automatisieren, Beleuchtung, Telekommunikation — spans the trade: the spectrum. The norm coverage — the Normen und Bestimmungen — regulates: the standards. The practice coverage — the praxisorientierte Anwendungsbeispiele (practice-oriented application examples) — grounds: the everyday. The portal — the elektro.net (the Fachartikel, News, Produktmeldungen, the Praxisprobleme database) — extends: the daily.
