Compliance
Do I need to comply with the SIRs are they mandatory?
Yes you shall comply;
If you do not comply then FIP (fuse in pocket) usually
applies. No Supply.
For safe connection and metering of electrical
installations you are required to comply with the Sale
and Distribution Code.
Remember any delays will effect your customer.
55
Application
The Victorian Service & Installation Rules apply to all connections to the
electricity supply networks operated by Electricity Distributors:
CitiPower,
Jemena Electricity Network,
Powercor Australia Ltd,
SP AusNet and
United Energy.
The objective of these Rules is to:
provide Victorian electricity customers with industry agreed reasonable
technical requirements that;
meet all legislative and Electricity Distribution Code requirements
for the supply and metering related aspects of any connection to
the Victorian Distributors electricity supply networks.

Public Notice - Availability of the 2014
Service and Installation Rules
The 2014 SIR are applicable from 1
st
January 2014 with a three month
period of transition allowing the trade to adopt and employ the changes in
the new document. There may be exceptional circumstances, if a
connection post 31
st
March 2014 exists where a REC wishes to have the
2005 rules applied an SIR exemptions must be submitted by a written
request detailing the reasons why non-compliance with the 2014 Rules is
sought.
An exception to the 2005 Rules will not be automatically granted, electrical
work associated with the exception should be discontinued until approval
from the Distributor is received.

A Supply Protection Device shall
Minimise any adverse conditions which may affect other customers
electrical installations and the distribution system. The SPD must
ensure adequate protection is provided up to the electrical protective
equipment of the electrical installations they supply.
Note: In some cases Distributors may utilise their HV protection
equipment for supply protection. It will be necessary to confirm
the supply protection arrangement with the relevant distributor
at the design stage of the electrical installation.
Also
Enable the Distributor to connect, disconnect and isolate each active
conductor supplying the electrical installation for commercial and/or
safety reasons; and not exceed one device per phase
26 26
Assemblies to accommodate LV Supply Protection Devices (SPD)
The customer is responsible for the provision of an assembly to
accommodate Supply Protective Device/s (SPD) provided by the
Distributor. This equipment must be of an acceptable type as
required by these Rules and shall be located and installed in
accordance with the relevant requirements of the current Electricity
Safety Act and Regulations.
Access
The assembly for the purpose of accommodating the SPD shall be
installed in a position where convenient and unhindered access is
readily available for the Distributor to safely operate and work on the
device/s at all hours, unless otherwise agreed by the Distributor.

mounted on the underside of a shop veranda.
These fuses are no longer acceptable for use as an SPD or
occupancy disconnection device for new connections, alterations or
additions to existing electrical installations.
33 33
Supply Capacity Control Device.
Supply Capacity (Maximum Demand by Limitation)
Supply Capacity Control Device (SCCD)
Capacity Control and types
Electrical installations shall be arranged in accordance with the Wiring Rules
so as not to exceed 130% of the Distributors nominated supply capacity for
more than 2 hours by one of the following means:
Moulded case circuit breakers with a fixed thermal trip unit setting
of 130%.
Miniature circuit breakers with a fixed thermal trip unit setting of
145%.
These circuit breakers must be de-rated to achieve 130% of the
nominated supply capacity.
Adjustable circuit breakers are acceptable provided the thermal trip unit is
set to a level equal to the nominated supply capacity and the overload
duration is set as agreed with the distributor.
34 34
Maximum Demand Limitation Device/s (SCCD)
Circuit breakers shall:
Be installed on the main switchboard in accordance with the
Electricity Safety Act and Regulations, the Wiring Rules,
and these Rules;
Be arranged to ensure the aggregate rating of the devices
does not exceed the supply capacity where multiple
devices are used; and
Be provide with a sealing facility when adjustable.
35 35
Supply Capacity Control Device SCCD
The 2009 Safety Installation Regulations no longer permit a switch
ahead of the Installation Main Switch/s.
-Therefore the SCCD cannot be located on the meter panel or meter
board and shall be the Main Switch or the summation of the Main
Switches, where multiple main switches are used.
36 36
Consumers Mains Overload and Short Circuit requirement
As per Clause 2.5.1.1 of AS/NZS3000:2007 consumers mains are to
have overload and short circuit (overcurrent) protection.
This is best achieved by using circuit breaker/s as the Main Switch or
summation of the Main Switches to be equal to or less than the current
carrying capacity of the consumers mains.
Hint. Use the main switch/es as both consumers mains protection and the
distribution companies SCCD.
