This Electricity Safety Rule document sets out Ausgrid’s requirements and standards for connecting electrical premises to its distribution network.
Scope
This publication provides general information to assist with connection to Ausgrid’s network.
This publication must be read in conjunction with the current edition of the Service and Installation Rules of NSW. The Premises Connection Requirements set out in this publication are intended to be consistent with the Service and Installation Rules and provide further clarification where those Rules refer to decisions to be made by the Network Operator (the ‘local distributor’).
Ausgrid’s Premises Connection Requirements apply to the connection or upgrading the connection of private electrical installations in Ausgrid’s distribution network area. The requirements are relevant to Ausgrid’s existing and new network customers, their electrical consultants, electrical contractors and Accredited Service Providers.
