6.6 INSTALLATION
ARRANGEMENT FOR
AUSTRALIAN MEN SYSTEMS
Under Australian Standards classification,
SRFs are considered a piece of equipment
to be connected to the mains supply. They
are not intended for use as switchboards,
distribution boards or other equipment. As
these devices are classified as "electrical
equipment" AS 3000 Wiring Regulations
apply to the installation and operation of
the units.
AS 3000 specifies minimum requirements for
electrical equipment that is connected to
switch boards or distribution boards.
For a point of entry application in the multi-
ple earth neutral (MEN) distribution system,
the SRF equipment should be installed as
close as possible after the MEN point and
after both the main disconnect switch/over-
current protector and any metering equip-
ment. The SRF therefore, may not be installed
at the physical "point of entry" of the mains
power to the building. It must be earthed
and installed in accordance with all other
applicable electrical and safety standards. As
the protection equipment is hardwired, the
installation must be inspected by an appropri-
ately authorized electrical authority official
prior to commissioning.
