AS/NZS 3820:2009 PDF Download

A standard called AS/NZS 3820:2009 describes the fundamental safety standards for electrical equipment. Its goal is to ensure that electrical equipment is built using appropriate engineering principles to promote the safety of people, pets, and other property. This standard relates to equipment created for uses such as power generation, conversion, transmission, distribution, and usage of electricity with voltage levels not exceeding 1000 volts for AC and 1500 volts for DC.

It is important to remember that AS/NZS 3820:2009 does not cover electrical equipment used in hazardous environments or in medicine. Besides what is specified in this standard, certain kinds of equipment must also adhere to extra safety regulations. The goal of the standard is to offer recommendations that, when followed, lead to the safe operation of electrical equipment when it is installed, maintained, and used for the purposes for which it was designed.
