The design contractor shall prepare an electrical design layout in a form acceptable to ETSA Utilities. In accordance with Chapter 3.3 of the SA Distribution Code, ETSA Utilities is not obliged to accept a design or construction if it is not undertaken in such a manner that is compatible with the ETSA Utilities Network.
5.2 Design Requirements

The Designer needs to ensure the design addresses any requirement associated with references in Section 3 of this document and also consider any other standards/regulatory/obligatory requirements that are relevant. Consider risk impacts as a part of the design process. Refer to Section 7.3.8 in this document; For any extension within an ETSA Utilities MEN earthing area to establish the soil resistivity/earth resistance readings. Refer to Section 7.3.3 in this document; Evaluate site plan details, services and their locations. Other services, their locations and specific clearance requirements must be taken into account in designing the electrical infrastructure. Refer to Section 7.3.6 in this document; Transformer load and cable rating must not exceed values as stated in Section 7.2 and 7.1.1 respectively in this document; Must acquire all necessary documents such as Council Acceptance, ETSA Utilities Approval and other Approvals as necessary. i.e. DTEI; Must consider all requirements specified in this and other documents that shall be appropriate to a design; It is the responsibility of the Applicant or an agent of the Applicant i.e. the designer to ensure that during the course of the project that anything that impacts or changes the design of the Electrical Works is reflected in a notification to all relevant parties including the Network Project Officer. A Design revision will be required. For more details refer to Section 6 Design Process in this document; During For Construction stage, it is the Builder/Contractor/Installers responsibility to verify the actual onsite details, mark the changes and notify the designer to ensure the As Constructed matches the electrical installation; ETSA Utilities may request additional data, which should include engineering calculation sheets for pole strengths, footing details and tension calculations for overhead lines and cable pull tensions for underground lines; Any non-standard design will require written approval by the ETSA Utilities Manager Engineering Standards and Regulatory Reset (MES&RR); and For multi stage URD/UID development a proposed high voltage network design is required for all stages as a component of the preliminary design submission for the first stage.

5.3 Design Principles

The design should reference a specific E drawing to ensure the right assembly is ordered and installed. The relevant E drawing should be referenced where there needs to a specific / specification / installation. An example is public lighting, overhead construction assemblies or specific service pits or pillars.
5.3.1 E Drawings
5.3.2 Contestable Works

A designer needs to be aware that many designs for a Network extension can be built by either ETSA Utilities or an accredited external electrical contractor. The Works that an electrical contractor can normally undertake is limited to new installations that are remote (not connected) to the ETSA Utilities Network. The relevant ETSA Utilities Manager will be able to inform you of the extent of work a contractor can undertake. A design can include a mix of contestable and non contestable work and there may be works that ETSA Utilities needs to undertake during the construction to assist the Contractor, i.e. access into an existing transformer or switching cubicle for a cable installation. The design needs to specify the extent of works that can be undertaken by a contractor and the extent of works that can only be undertaken by ETSA Utilities. Where a Network Access Permit (NAP) is required and work needs to be undertaken by ETSA Utilities during the construction phase the design needs to be labelled with a unique identifier.
NAP 1
NAP 2
NAP 1, 2, 3 etc is the unique identifier for each specific access request location. For some projects, i.e. a URD there may be a number of NAPs required. Each one must detail the work to be carried out and who undertakes the work. It is preferable that the information is linked and close to the identifier. The designer also needs to highlight the works to be undertaken at the connection point(s) by ETSA Utilities. This level of detail assists in scoping, costing and delineates responsibilities.

5.3.3 Underground Residential Development (URD)

A URD is a multi lot Torrens Titled development that can front a road reserve or be contained within a Greenfield site with created roads. Council can specify that an area is to be an underground development within its approval process. The design is based on the Network Specification that will specify the After Diversity Maximum Demand (ADMD), supply point(s) and any other specific requirements that ETSA Utilities may require. While any industrial or commercial load, i.e. school, shopping centre, office complex, etc, within the development may be treated as a separate project it can be advantageous from a costing perspective to incorporate the installation of cables and equipment into the overall URD layout. Please discuss a URD with a mix of residential and commercial allotments with the relevant ETSA Utilities Manager. Refer to TS -101 Public Lighting Design Standard for Underground and Overhead Networks for public lighting options. It is paramount that Council receives and accepts the form NICC 451 Council Design and Public Lighting Agreement Document at the preliminary design phase as a Council can have specific public lighting requirements.
5.3.4 Industrial Development

An Industrial Development is a multi allotment Torrens Title industrial or commercial subdivision that will be sold on the open market. The electrical installation can be with overhead or underground mains. Council can specify that an area is to be an underground development within its approval process and can also specify that each allotment is serviced. There shall be two levels of installation that ETSA Utilities will in general consider. The designer needs to verify with the Applicant the level of servicing that is required.
5.3.4.1
A Serviced Industrial Development

A design needs to encompass the agreed supply loads within the Development. If the load requirements within the development are unknown, ETSA Utilities will accept a design for the electrical infrastructure in a commercial or light industrial area and that provides the following:
TS-100
Issue: MAR 2010
Date: 16/03/10
Page 14 of 52

Generally a minimum of an 80 ampere three phase service for each allotment; Installation of additional spare conduits to meet the capability of accepting a future 11kV supply upgrade to every allotment; Transformer(s) capable of handling the agreed load capacity; and Public lighting in accordance with Council and the applicants requirements.
5.3.4.2
A Serviceable Industrial Development

A serviceable development design will encompass the installation of a backbone high voltage cable network within the subdivision, (but individual service points for each allotment are not provided) additional spare conduit installations for each property to assist in any future servicing arrangement and public lighting in accordance with Council and the applicants requirements. This design approach should be favoured if individual customer characteristics are unknown, or if individual customer loads have the potential to vary significantly. An applicant is required to inform purchasers that the blocks shall not be serviced but can be serviced at the purchasers cost.
5.3.5 Community Title

A Community Title residential or industrial/commercial development is deemed to be one property and the basis for servicing is via a single supply point. Where a development is of such a size that multiple transformers are required a back up or looped high voltage supply may be specified. The method of supply for a residential Community Title development is via a grouped metering arrangement with the Applicant being responsible for low voltage supply within the development. Up to 18 residential meters per group meter board is acceptable before a second board will be required. The group meter board must be located on common land. Refer to the ETSA Utilities Service and Installation rules for more information on a metering location. A multi dwelling development on one title, i.e., a retirement village can be designed utilizing the same design principle. As some community titled developments can be gated it is important that the designer ensures the ETSA Utilities requirement of access over a full 24hour period is achieved.

5.3.6 Redevelopments
A redevelopment (sometimes called a Brownfield development) encompasses an area which has, or had, an existing electrical distribution infrastructure designed to supply power to a customers metered supply point. The extent of a redevelopment will vary. Some examples: A total redevelopment site which will require the existing ETSA infrastructure to be removed. An underground system will generally replace the old asset; A partial redevelopment with a mixture of old and new infrastructure; and Allotment layout changes only and the existing infrastructure remaining. A redevelopment design needs to capture the extent of the works to be undertaken, particularly in reference to the limitation of contestable works on existing assets. Refer to Section 5.3.2 Contestable Works in this section.
5.3.7 ETSA Designer Accreditation and Intellectual Property

An External designer needs to be accredited prior to ETSA Utilities issuing a Specification Compliance. The requirements are documented in NICC 401 Information on Network Design and Installation by an External Contractor. The utilisation of any ETSA Utilities specification for any electrical installation other then an installation designed to be vested and connected to the ETSA Utilities Network without our approval is an offence. ETSA Utilities views such misuse seriously and will take legal action for any breach. If a designer wishes to utilise an ETSA Utilities Specification for a design that is not being vested to ETSA Utilities please contact the ETSA Utilities Manager Engineering Standards and Regulatory Reset (MES&RR) on 8404 5077 to discuss an agreement.
5.4 Design Drawing Preparation Requirements

The layout is to closely replicate a relevant standard ETSA drawing sheet. The Network Project Officer (NPO) is to be consulted for advice if the required drawing layout is uncertain. The design shall include the following: Drawing Title; Designer details in the bottom right hand side of the drawing sheet above the drawing sheet details; Single Line Diagram (SLD) of the proposed high voltage extension;
TS-100
Issue: MAR 2010
Date: 16/03/10
Page 16 of 52

Access permits points shall be numbered and the extents of the Contractor works and ETSA Utilities works must be fully detailed. Refer Section 5.3.2; Easement location(s) utilising a dashed line.

5.5 Specifications for CAD Layering and Styles

The design CAD file must be compatible with ETSA Utilities systems and processes including (but not limited to) checking, verification, archiving, analysis and planning requirements. For this purpose, the design data must meet the following criteria when imported into ETSA Utilities' Caddsman CAD software: The design data and subdivision layout must be drawn using true model distances in CAD (1:1 scale) and the correct plotting scale (e.g. 1:500) must be set and displayed on the drawing sheets along with bar scales and sheet sizes; The symbology, line styles and colours used to display the design data must appear the same as if the design was produced by ETSA Utilities using CAD and the URD application software. Refer to Appendix C for the required ETSA Utilities standard drawing symbology; and The different CAD data classes must be displayed on separate layers (see Appendix B B-Sht 1 - for the Caddsman Line Design Layer Convention as an example). A layer index must be included on a separate layer that is invisible and excluded from plotting (while retaining the option to activate the layer for viewing or plotting if necessary). ETSA Utilities reserves the right to reject any outdated, non-compliant or non-compatible design data and to require revision and re-submission of the data in a form acceptable to ETSA Utilities.
5.6 Specification for Electronic File Format

Where possible the design CAD file which is supplied to ETSA Utilities must be in Caddsman format (versions 4.4 to Modeller SJ acceptable). For requirements regarding the Non-Caddsman electronic files refer to Section 5.7 - Specification for Non-Caddsman Electronic File Format.
5.7 Specification for Non-Caddsman Electronic File Format

Where it is not possible to supply electronic files in Caddsman format (versions 4.4 to Modeller SJ), the electronic file should be supplied in *.dxf or *.dwg format provided that the file format version is compatible with Caddsman Modeller SJ software. To meet this requirement, the following is a suggested guide for consultants converting files from AutoCAD. All information for each drawing shall be contained within a single file. This means that where the consultant has employed a combination of paper and model space such that the drawing sheet and main body of the drawing must be contained in separate files, the files shall be merged together such that drawing in its entirety is contained in a single file in model space.

The drawing shall be reduced to basic elements such as lines, curves and text. This means that where the drawing contains complex elements such as blocks or dimensions, the associations between the elements shall be dropped (e.g. in the case of blocks, the blocks shall be exploded). Where the drawing is in *.dwg format it shall be saved as an AutoCAD version between releases 7 and 2005 inclusive. Where the file supplied is a *.dxf file, the file must be similar to those created from AutoCAD releases 7 to 13. Where a file conversion is attempted from any other format such as MicroStation or CivilCAD the principles of file conversion indicated above shall be adhered to. Any files or entities linked to the CAD drawing (e.g. font files, pattern files, symbols, Xrefs) must be included with the submitted CAD drawing so that it can be viewed and plotted in its entirety without requiring any significant re-linking or reconstructive work when received by ETSA Utilities. Packaging the CAD file and the associated linked files into a *.zip file for submission is recommended. For further information regarding ETSA Utilities electronic file requirements, first consult the relevant Network Project Officer (NPO). The NPO should seek further consultation from ETSA Utilities Facilities Records Co-ordinator (FRC).
6.
DESIGN PROCESS
There are three stages to a design, each serving a function as a project moves through from concept to completion. The Electrical Constructor is reliant on the design being correctly labelled and approved.
6.1 Preliminary Design Requirements

The initial drawing that needs to be submitted to the Network Project Officer (NPO) must be marked as a Preliminary Drawing only. This shall be placed in a prominent box near the title block, as a watermark across the design or in the revision box at the bottom lefts side of the sheet. At this point the design can be issued to the Applicant for approval, to key stakeholder parties for notification of pending work for comment/approval and for external consultation. Where Council and DTEI have an interest, the design needs to be submitted with the form NICC-451 Council/Department of Transport, Energy and Infrastructure (DTEI) Design and Public Lighting Agreement Document for approval/acceptance if there are Works within a road reserve or any public lighting installations within a road reserve. The Network Project Officer (NPO) will verify that the design addresses any specific requests issued in the ETSA Utilities project specification and satisfies other ETSA specifications.
6.2 For Construction Design Requirements

The designer can issue a For Construction design only upon receipt of the Specification Compliance from ETSA Utilities. The Specification Compliance confirms the following have been satisfied: Any non-standard design arrangement is approved; Council/DTEI has accepted/approved the works in any road reserve and any public lighting installation and tariff and ETSA is in receipt of that agreement; The offer has been signed and accepted by the customer; and Any easement requirement is either lodged with the LTO or ETSA Utilities is in receipt of an Agreement to Grant an Easement. (Refer to TS -102). It is the responsibility of the design contractor to ensure that all the ETSA Utilities specification requirements shall be met. The preliminary design is evaluated against the specification for compliance. This initial evaluation is a component of the specification, administration and inspection fee. A non compliance will be issued if the design does not meet specification. ETSA Utilities may issue a charge for any specification recompliance that is required. The Authority to Proceed - Construction confirmation letter and the Specification Compliance to the Applicant/s agent is the signal to an electrical contractor and the customer that the relevant checks and approvals have been completed. The Designer needs to be in receipt of the Specification Compliance letter prior to marking a design as approved with the notation For Construction.
6.3 As Constructed Design Requirements

The As Constructed drawing is a critical document that is a prerequisite to ETSA Utilities accepting the Certificate of Electrical Compliance and ultimately undertaking the vesting and connection. The As Constructed drawing must be an accurate record of the completed construction/installation including all of the changes agreed to and signed off by the Network Project Officer/Project Manager. For most projects the As Constructed Drawing can be prepared well in advance of the final electrical tests. The relevant number of As Constructed drawings must be on site at the time the tests are witnessed by the Compliance Officer. Refer Section 6.5.3 and Appendix - E Issuing Process for Design Drawing in this document. The drawings will then be installed in all relevant ETSA Utilities plant to assist ETSA Utilities personnel in the switching and customer connection.
TS-100
Issue: MAR 2010
Date: 16/03/10
Page 20 of 52

The legend and feature symbology should remain as proposed however any proposed references must be removed from the title block. The design must be prominently marked As Constructed and the change to As Constructed status must be included in the revision block. The As Constructed design drawing shall comply with the relevant specifications detailed throughout this Standard (e.g. Section 5.4), with particular regard to the following: Public roads MUST have street names in place at this point; All joints and equipment positions (high and low voltage) must be accurately located and dimensioned; Earth stake locations external to equipment must be clearly shown and dimensioned; Any easement has critical location dimensions included on the expanded easement diagram and/or main design; The primary electrical Contractors name must be included, e.g. in the notes section; and The date of completion. It is important that ETSA Utilities has all the relevant data on the constructed Works. ETSA Utilities will only accept the Certificate of Electrical Compliance if the As Constructed design reflects the installations and the required copies have been forwarded to ETSA Utilities. Refer to Section 6.5.
6.4 Revisions/Changes to a Design

Any changes to a design (other than minor deviations) must be submitted to the Network Project Officer for approval. Minor changes will not necessarily require a For Construction drawing to be revised on the proviso that all changes must be incorporated into the As Constructed design and have been approved. The relevant ETSA Utilities Network Project Officer/Project Manager is to be consulted to resolve any uncertainties regarding incorporation of changes into the design drawing. Designer must be aware that any changes/revisions made to the Preliminary, For Construction and As Constructed design will be in accordance with the following requirements: All design changes impacting on the design drawing shall be incorporated into the Master Design Drawing. The Revision Identifier, Description, Reviser and Revision Date must be logged in the revisions block for a minimum of the last five drawing revisions; All revision details shall be clearly and unambiguously marked/specified (e.g. public light changes, additional cable installations, additional road crossings, high voltage cable loops into easements etc.);

Changes to earthing requirements shall be clearly detailed. (e.g. if changed from CMEN to MEN or vice versa); Where it may not be possible to singularly itemise all changes as a design moves from a Preliminary design to a For Construction design, the critical changes and particularly the ones that may impact any quotation (remembering that the Preliminary design may have been released for quoting purposes), must be noted; and Revised drawings must be issued to ETSA Utilities as stated in following Section 6.5 - Process for Issuing a Design Drawing in this document.
6.5 Process for Issuing a Design Drawing

An outdated or unapproved design can result in equipment ordering and installation errors, increased risks, introduction of life threatening hazards or significant additional cost variations. Design changes must be clearly and correctly communicated to ensure that all relevant parties shall be working with the correct information. The designer must ensure that all relevant parties shall be in receipt of the latest information and drawing, throughout the life of the project (i.e. Preliminary, For Construction, As Constructed stages including all revisions made during these stages), by following the design drawing issuing process. Refer to Appendix - E Drawings Issuing Flow Chart for the details.
6.5.1 Designers Role

It is the Designers responsibility to ensure that design drawings shall be issued to all relevant parties (as specified below) upon revision of the design drawing. Forward a hard copy or PDF file at the Preliminary Stage to ETSA Utilities NPO/PM; At the For Construction and As Constructed stages, forward (1 Electronic CAD file + 1 PDF format copy) to ETSA Utilities relevant NPO/PM; and Forward Copies (Numbers as required) either via Email or as hard copies appropriately to all other relevant recipients. Refer to Appendix - E Drawings issuing Flow Chart for the details.

NOTES:
If submission of an electronic CAD drawing is not possible via email then submission of the CAD drawing on Data Disks should be permitted. Data Disks must be clearly labelled as specified in Section 5 in this document and must contain a PDF copy of the drawing; and If an ETSA Utilities NPO/PM or any other responsible ETSA Utilities Officer is acting as Designer then they must also fulfil the Designers role in the issue of drawings.
6.5.2 Network Project Officers/Project Managers Role

On receipt of new or revised design drawings from the Designer, It is ETSA Utilities NPO/PMs responsibility to ensure that design drawings shall be further issued as specified below: Forward a hard copy or PDF file at the Preliminary Stage to ETSA Utilities Facilities Records Co-ordinator; During the For Construction and As Constructed stages forward 1 Electronic CAD file + 1 PDF format copy via CCADDDS to ETSA Utilities Facilities Records Co-ordinator. If CCADDDS is not accessible the files should be sent via email/internal mail; and 1 Hard copy (at the Preliminary and at the For Construction stages) and 2 Hard copies (at the As Constructed stage) to the ETSA Utilities Compliance Co-ordinator. NOTE: It is the specific requirement of Facilities Records that they must be in receipt of the latest drawing revision throughout the life of the project.
6.6 Plan of Division Changes

If the position of any transformer/switching cubicle or underground cable is to be altered at any time during the design process or the execution of the Works, the survey plan must be amended to reflect the change and satisfy the requirements in TS-102 - Easement Standard for Distribution Networks.

7.2 Design Consideration for a Transformer and Switching Cubicle
7.2.2 Switching Cubicle (RMU) Specification/Rating:

Switching devices within a Switching Cubicle (RMU) must be graded to offer protection for the ETSA Utilities infrastructure under maximum demand loadings, i.e. extreme heatwave conditions. 85% of the rated current of the switching device where the Switching Cubicle is installed and exposed to the direct sunlight.
7.2.3 Underground HV Switching Point Requirements:

High voltage switching locations shall be determined such that the maximum load switched at a given point shall not exceed the capacity of the 3-phase ganged switch. The maximum number of transformers between switching points shall be limited to the load breaking capabilities of the switching devices on the feeder. In a high voltage looped system, the open point of the transformer must have a provision for remote switching capabilities (i.e. remotely operable Ring Main Unit (RMU)) in a transformers high voltage compartment (or a Switching Cubicle). A remotely operable RMU shall be used at all open points between adjacent feeders. NOTES: All final high voltage open points using switches (as nominated by ETSA Utilities) shall be at a transformer with a Ring Main Unit (RMU) or a free standing switching cubicle (RMU) with a Load Switch (LS); All final feeder tie points (as nominated by ETSA Utilities) shall have remote operation functionality i.e. switching cubicle (RMU); The use of a circuit breaker (CB) within a switching cubicle as an open point of any feeder backbone is NOT permitted; and With a transformer, a transformer with RMU or a switching cubicle, the following shall NOT be permitted as open points: Circuit Breaker (CB); Fuse (F); and Load Switch Fuse (LSF).

Examples:
Refer to Appendix D: D-Sht 1 - Typical Underground High Voltage Circuit Diagram for the explanation of following scenarios.
Scenario 1: Looped Circuits on the same Feeder

If the looped circuits shall be on the same feeder then there must be an open point. At this open point the switches must be able to operate remotely. To achieve this remote operating capability either: a RMU shall be installed at the padmount transformers high voltage compartment; or a Switching Cubicle (RMU) shall be installed nearby. Cables shall be a minimum size of 95mm2 Al.
Scenario 2: Looped Circuits with an Open point separating two main Feeders
If the looped circuits with an open point separating two main feeders then Scenario 1 condition shall apply except that cables shall be a minimum size of 300mm2.
Scenario 3: Radial Circuits

It must be noted that for radial circuits, if any future extension/connection is required then it shall be to the same existing feeder. Where a radial circuit could become a looped circuit then Scenario 1 applies. Cables shall be a minimum size of 95mm2 Al.
7.2.4 Transformer and/or Switching Cubicle Locations

For a land development with multi customers a transformer location must take into account the low voltage feeder distribution network and be located as close as practicable in the centre of the load. If this requirement is not satisfied then ETSA Utilities will not provide a Specification Compliance for a design with a transformer location. Where the customer is required to make provisions for the transformer, switching cubicle and/or other service protection devices, the position provided shall be free of obstruction and access must be continuously available for ETSA Utilities to safely operate on the device or devices at all hours. The location of the padmount transformer must not breach the requirements of relevant standards, environment and locations of other services such as fire booster cabinets, water, sewer services and infrastructure etc.

A Designer must conduct a risk assessment prior to commencing any design and follow the requirements as mentioned below: Evaluate site plan details and establish where existing and proposed services shall be located in areas in the vicinity of ETSA equipment; Suitability of the terrain in the vicinity of any installation and future accessibility to ETSA equipment; Eliminate equipment placement conflicts and any breach of compliance issues; Assessments must be presented with the preliminary design; Vicinity of equipment nearby a watercourse addressed. (Refer Section 7.3.8 in this document for the detail). Equipment for a development or a single customer is only to be installed in locations that allow ETSA Utilities to adequately access the equipment. ETSA must have access to a transformer, switching cubicle and a service pillar at ALL times i.e. 24 hours / 7 days a week from the date of energisation. Equipment location should need to be located on a property boundary facing a road reserve to achieve this. Transformer and switching cubicles can be sited on: Reserves; Very large building allotments likely to be developed as high density residential sites; Local shopping centres; and At the rear and side of residential corner allotments. NOTE: This equipment shall NOT be located in road reserves without consultation from ETSA Utilities Network Project Officer/Project Manager. NPO/PM will assist in seeking written approval from Manager Network Asset (MNA). Also refer to NICC 802 - 11kV to Low Voltage Padmount Transformers - Information and Requirements for Customers which provides additional information for single customer transformer installations.

TS-100 Electrical Design Standards for Underground Networks 7.2.4.1 Transformer and/or Switching Cubicle Setback
Designers need to be vigilant when selecting locations for above ground equipment in developments, car parks and private roadways, taking into account the boundary to kerb dimension and final development designs/environment. For a Transformer and/or Switching Cubicle the following design requirements shall be included: A minimum set back of 1.0m from the back of a kerb and the installation of bollards on any side exposed to vehicular traffic; The installation of bollards on any side exposed to vehicular traffic that does not have a suitable form of protective device; An exemption for bollard installation should be considered for set backs greater then 1.0m and will depend on location, traffic and additional protective devices, e.g. the installation of a 200mm high concrete kerb; and On the proviso that the set back is 1.0m, a centre bollard in front of the doors is not required. For further information on setback requirements please contact and consult ETSA Utilities relevant Project Manager/Network Project Officer.
7.2.5 A Looped High Voltage Network

The installation of three or more transformers on a radial tee off will require the extension to become a looped high voltage network. If a multi stage development already has three transformers installed, any future stage which increases that number must be a looped network design. Consideration should be given to a future looped system on the proviso there is a master-plan and staged construction proposal that has written agreement from the ETSA Utilities relevant Project Manager/Network Project Officer. Any switching cubicle or transformer located in such a way that it unnecessarily deviates the high voltage cable route and requires additional lengths of high voltage cable will be deemed to be installed at the request of the developer and at the developers cost. Refer to Appendix D: D-Sht 1 - Typical Underground High Voltage Circuit Diagram.

Page 31 of 52
7.3 Other Considerations/Requirements

The site shall be well compacted. Any site that is not level as defined in Section 3 of TS -085 should need a retaining wall. E drawing E1982 sheet 3.3 specifies that the height from the ground level to the top of the pad base shall be 75mm and E1981 sheet 3.0 specifies 150mm for a switching cubicle vault. This is to ensure the switchgear and fuses shall still at the correct height for operational purposes and the vault is not compromised.
7.3.1 Ferroresonance
When designing a high voltage network, consider the possibility of ferroresonance occurring due to the combination of underground cables and a transformer. To eliminate the likelihood of ferroresonant over-voltages, 3-phase Ganged Switching Devices (i.e. Load Switch (LS)) must be used at all switching points. For various 3-phase Ganged Switching Device arrangements refer to appropriate E-drawing as per Manual No. 4 - Underground Construction and for over to under on the pole type arrangements refer to Manual No. 3 - Overhead Construction.
7.3.2 Surge Arrestors

Surge Arrestors shall be required for protecting primary plant against damage from lighting and/or switching overvoltage. For over to under (O/U) cabling arrangement, surge arrestors shall be installed on any over to under (O/U) pole.
7.3.3 Earthing (Grounding)

For an MEN earthing area, the designer needs to arrange for soil resistivity/earth resistance tests. The design needs to consider these tests in relation to the minimum readings required at the time of installation and factor in earthing standards as stated in E-drawing E1905 series, relevant E-drawing manuals and AS/NZS 3000. For sites with difficult earthing conditions, the design shall consider the location of equipment and the installation of additional earthing facilities. Additional earthing facilities can be achieved in a number of ways and there are specialist firms that can provide advice.
7.3.4 Cable Numbering System

The layout plan must detail a switching cubicle and a padmount transformer showing high and low voltage cable destinations and labelling/numbering showing the destination of each exit that must satisfies the protocol specified in TS-105 Section 5. ETSA Utilities approved symbols for feeder equipment must be used.

7.3.5 Underground Cabling Detail

The Designer will need to consider the level of detail needed for a conduit and cable installation. Complex installations will need to be detailed in cross sections at various points along the common service trench (CST) route.
7.3.6 Clearance to Other Services

It is the designers responsibility to take into account the safe clearance from other services. For the vertical and horizontal separation between other services such as Gas pipes, SA Water, Telecommunications Services, Private Sewer/Water etc. Refer to TS 085 - Trenching and Conduit Standard for Underground Cable Networks or contact the relevant authority if confirmation is required. As an example AS 2419.1-2005Fire Hydrant InstallationsSystem Design, Installation and Commissioning, specifies a minimum requirement for the location of fire hydrants from any high voltage electrical distribution equipment to be 10m. For the consumers mains clearance/installation requirements refer to Service and Installations Rules and AS/NZS 3000.
7.3.7 Easement Requirement

Easements shall be required for ETSA Utilities equipment. Details concerning easements are contained in the Technical Standard TS 102 - An Easement Standard for Distribution Networks. All easements shall be indicated on the design drawings as enlargements showing all dimensions and appropriate cadastral information so that the surveyor for the Applicant can include ETSA Utilities easement requirements on the Final Plan for the Land Division.
7.3.8 Infrastructure Risk Assessment Requirement

The Designer is to provide a risk assessment matrix report as a part of a specification compliance requirement. The assessment needs to consider but is not limited to the following: Access for operational purposes; Future removal and installation; Equipment failure impact on surrounds; Impact on third party equipment installation in the vicinity; and Soil contamination in relation to open trenching within private property as referred to in TS-085, clause 14.

8.1.1 Underground Low Voltage Cable Rating

Refer to Section 7.1.1 in this document for design factors for determining de-rating factors for any cable. Designers must ensure the maximum operational ratings of underground low voltage cables shall not be exceeded and provision for spare capacity is included for any foreseeable demand requirements. IEC 60287 and AS/NZS 3008.1.1 explains the cable rating calculation method. Cable manufacturers data should also be referred to. For further information on cable rating requirements consult ETSA Utilities relevant Project Manager/Network Project Officer.
8.1.2 Low Voltage Parallel Cable Termination

Parallel low voltage cables shall only be terminated in a Junction pit of P7 size (or larger). The design needs to reflect the correct installation. A service pillar is NOT suitable for terminating parallel low voltage cables. Where parallel cables shall be fed from transformers, they shall be terminated at the 1st Junction Pit from the transformer of an appropriate size to suit the application and the circuit shall be clearly labelled Parallel Cables as per ETSA Utilities Construction E-drawing E1921 Sheet 2.5 and 3.20.

8.2 After Diversity Maximum Demand (ADMD)

The ADMD of a particular development shall not in general be less than 8 kVA per allotment. ETSA Utilities will specify the design ADMD as a part of its specification. Refer to Appendix A, A-Sht 1 and A-Sht 2 for the details. The base ADMD specified by ETSA Utilities in a new housing development specification will be based on the ADMD Table, Refer to Appendix A-Sht 2 Table for ADMD for Average Dwelling Sizes. House sizes from ETSA Utilities research are generally in the medium to large range. From the Appendix A-Sht 2 Table this would indicate an ADMD of 8 kVA. The projected dwelling sizes for a development will be based on previous stages or the standard of housing in the vicinity. Any variation to the specified ADMD will require approval by the relevant ETSA Utilities Network Manager. The designer must take into account: The existing and proposed customers supplied from an existing transformer; The total proposed customers load on a proposed transformer, including customers within future stages and any reinforcement of existing ETSA Utilities assets as specified by ETSA Utilities; and The total proposed customers load on proposed low voltage cables, including customers within future stages and any reinforcement of existing ETSA Utilities assets as specified by ETSA Utilities. The ADMD will apply to: Voltage drop calculations; Transformer load (specified ADMD multiplied by the number of customers) which must not exceed values as stated in Section 7.2 of this document; and Cable ratings (specified in Amperes) which must not exceed the values stated in current AS/NZS 3008.1.1 at a conductor temperature of 90 C. The expected load on a cable is to be determined from the specified ADMD multiplied by proposed numbers of customers connected to that cable.

8.3 Underground Low Voltage Drop

The voltage drop can be calculated using values supplied in Appendix A, A-Sht 1 -Low Voltage Drop Table in Volts for (ADMD versus. Number of Customers) and A-Sht 2-Table for ADMD for Average Dwelling Sizes in this document. For any underground low voltage feeder, the voltage drop shall NOT exceed 10 Volts: to the last (farthest) connection point; and to the last (farthest) open point. The voltage drop values for mains and services at the end of each low voltage circuit shall be indicated on the design drawings. In some circumstances parallel cables (i.e. 2 circuits of 150mm2 bundled cables) can be used for reduction of voltage drop. In such cases parallel cable details must be incorporated in the design, refer to section 8.1.2 for the details.
8.4 Low Voltage Balanced Loads

Single phase customers shall be evenly connected across all three phases with their phase connection identified (i.e. red (R), white (W) or blue (B)). The phase connections need to be Rolling e.g. sequential/alternating. Three phase customers shall have their loads evenly balanced across all three phases. For URD designs, unless final customer details are known, the design needs to take into consideration single phase connections.
8.5 Number of Low Voltage Feeders per Transformer

A maximum of 4 low voltage feeders shall be provided from each padmount transformer. The arrangement of low voltage feeders will be dependent on the physical arrangements of the development. The number of customers (normally single phase) shall be balanced over the three phases of each feeder. The open points between all low voltage feeders shall be clearly shown on the design drawing.

Page 37 of 52
8.6 Low Voltage Feeders Ties

Low voltage feeder ties shall be mandatory for a URD /UID low voltage networks. The open point for such ties shall be clearly indicated on the design drawing. A tie should be achieved by running a length of 150mm2 Alum. low voltage cable from one pillar to another with a suitable open point. Where low voltage cables from different transformers come within 50m of each other, the installation of a specific junction pit to achieve a tie may be necessary to ensure that there is an open point and low voltage switching capability. A pit/pillar installation as per figure (1) is not necessarily required to be at the end of a cable run. Refer to figure (1) for an example of a 3 way low voltage feeder tie.
Figure 1: Example of a 3 way Low Voltage Feeder Tie

In a high load area with a commercial component the installation of a low voltage switching cabinet as per E1927 series drawings must be considered for feeder interconnection. Refer to Section 8.9 in this document. If a designer is unsure of the extent of ties needed, the Network Project Officer is to be consulted at the preliminary design stage.

8.7 Service Pillar and Pit Information for Residential Supply

TABLE 8: Pit and Pillar Types:
The following distribution enclosures shall be used:
Pit and Pillar Types:
Information:
Service side fed via 150mm2 Al Cable installed in conduit. Refer E-1923 sheet 7.
Radial Service Pillar
Loop Service Pillar
Mains side, loop or radial feed via 150mm2 Al cables with up to maximum 3 (non-parallel circuits). Refer to E-1921. Cable pit to provide a capped end for de-energised cables. Refer E-1926.
Junction Pit
Capped Cable End
8.7.1 Service Pillar and Pit Selection Priorities

Pit or pillar installations need to be positioned taking into account the terrain, electrical supply requirements, future equipment accessibility and suitability of the location, particularly the clearances to other authorities and, for above ground equipment, the likelihood of third party damage. For underground installations where reinstatement normally occurs prior to installation of pillars/pits e.g. PLEC schemes, refer to Table 9 when selecting an applicable pit/pillar. Where a site constraint, local terrain or the presence of other underground services requires the use of a P5 pit that is not a radial or 2-way installation and is not to the specification, please refer back to the ETSA Utilities NPO/PM.

* = Due to their above ground construction a service pillar location could extend to a location inside a propertys landscaped area or any other technically feasible position as agreed by the Network Project Officer (NPO). Installation in a road reserve will not normally be allowed. Where there would be the potential for exposure to vehicular traffic a pit with an appropriate reinforced concrete surround and steel lid or other strengthening device may be required; refer E1921 and E1923 for more detail. If you require any further information on Service Pillars then please contact relevant Project Manager/Network Project Officer (PM/NPO).
8.7.2 Service Pillar Design Information

A service pillar is the standard ETSA Utilities supply point for a residential allotment in an underground area. A service pillar is normally located with its centre located 500mm from the side boundary and 600mm from the front boundary of residential allotments. A service pillar can be exempted from the standard location and be inside a property by up to 6 metres from the boundary without an easement with the proviso that it satisfies the conditions specified in TS -102.
TS-100
Issue: MAR 2010
Date: 16/03/10
Page 40 of 52

There are other options, for example:
A service pillar may straddle a boundary if the ETSA Utilities Project Manager/Network Project Officer (PM/NPO) has verification (a legal encumbrance) that a boundary fence can not be erected. Corner allotments shall be excluded; or If there is likelihood that the style of development encourages substantial fencing (e.g.: brick pillared fences) the ETSA Utilities Project Manager/Network Project Officer (PM/NPO) may approve an additional setback. Preferably each service pillar shall service two allotments. The conduit connection to an adjacent property must be shown on the layout. This indicates the service point for that property. In some cases service pillars should be located 600mm in from cut off pegs on corner allotments. Pillars and pits shall not be located in a transformer or switching cubicle easement or operating area. This will ensure that consumers mains shall not be within ETSA Utilities easements. The first service pillar shall be located as far from the transformer as practicable to reduce the issue of high low voltage at the customers supply point and excessive fault currents. Service pillars must not be located behind sewer inspection points or adjacent to sewer "Y" connections. They must not interfere with the location of other services such as water mains and storm water pipes.
8.7.2.1
Service Pillar Setback

Service pillars shall be very vulnerable in a street with rollover kerbs. The minimum set back from the back of any kerb is to be 1.0 metre to the front of the pillar.
8.7.3 Footpath Service Pits

Above ground service pillars can be used as standard ETSA Utilities service points. Where a development incorporates narrow fronted allotments with the potential for "Villa Allotments" or when there are design issues, the Applicant can make an application to the Network Project Officer for approval to install unfused P7 pits in the footpath. A P7 pit that will allow up to 4 x 3 phase services can be used in areas where councils have no objection to the installation of consumers mains in footpaths.
TS-100
Issue: MAR 2010
Date: 16/03/10
Page 41 of 52

The designer will include consumer mains lead-ins to all properties in the design up to all property boundaries. The lead-ins can be within the common service trench, but must be separated from ETSA Utilities cables. The customer will need to make provision for the ETSA Utilities service fuses. Service pits in the footpath are normally located within the common service trench. Their position is not necessarily within the side boundaries alignments. Installation of service pits should be avoided in driveways. If a footpath service pit is located in an area that will be subject to vehicular traffic, the design must specify use of a pit with an appropriately reinforced concrete surround and steel lid or other strengthening device may be required; refer E1921 and E1923 for more detail. The footpath service pits must not be located behind sewer inspection points or adjacent to sewer "Y" connections. They must not interfere with the location of other services such as water mains and storm water pipes etc.
8.8 Commercial/Industrial Low Voltage Supply

There can be restraints on low voltage distribution capacity for a new supply to a commercial or industrial development and ETSA Utilities may need to install a dedicated padmounted transformer. The Designer will need to discuss service arrangements in the first instance with the relevant ETSA Utilities Manager. If the existing distribution system has sufficient capacity the following service arrangements are available: 200A & 400A service pits, Refer to E1925 series E drawings; and Service fuse enclosure, Refer to E1160 series E drawings.
8.9 Low Voltage Distribution Cabinet

Low voltage distribution cabinets shall be generally used within the distribution system in high load areas such as industrial and commercial precincts. There are two types of cabinets available for use on ETSA Utilities distribution network. Refer to E-drawings E1927 Sht.1 and 2. The preferred location of these cabinets is in the footpath adjacent to the building alignment to minimise the obstruction of the footpath reserve. It is important to locate other buried services before positioning these cabinets. The placement of each low voltage distribution cabinet shall include consultation with the relevant local Council. The Councils acknowledgement of consultation shall be provided to ETSA Utilities Project Manager/Network Project Officer.

TRENCHING AND CONDUIT DESIGN

The designer must be conversant with the Trenching and Conduit Standards specified in TS 085 and ensure the trench and conduit requirements shall be appropriately detailed on the design drawing. Trenching and conduits crosssectional details are required. When designing any proposed trench alignments, the designer ensure that existing building developments remain compliant with the requirements of the Electricity (General) Regulations 1997 Part 6, clause 39A, which specifies a prescribed distance of 2 metres between an underground powerline operating at 33kV or less and a building or structure. Refer to Table 10. This should ensure that the works on the existing building will not contravene this Regulation. The designer also needs to consider cable installations offset and any proposed building envelope closest on a boundary in relation to the Electricity (General) Regulations 1997 Part 6, clause 39A. TABLE 10: Minimum Safe Clearances for Underground Lines

10. PUBLIC LIGHTING DESIGN

Refer to TS 101 - Public Lighting Standard for Overhead and Underground Networks for more details. Also refer to NICC 403 for an overview of public lighting arrangements offered by ETSA Utilities.
11. SUPPLY ARRANGEMENTS FOR LARGE LOADS

For the large customer loads of 1MVA or greater, refer to design requirements in NICC 804 - Customers Guide to Supply Arrangements for Large Customer Loads.
12. PROVISION FOR FUTURE STAGES

It is imperative that a master layout of the proposed high voltage distribution system is undertaken at the commencement of any multi-staged development to ensure that there is an orderly and cost effective installation. Where developments are staged provision shall be made for extending high and low voltage feeders. Depending on the nature of the project either conduits or capped or coiled and buried cables should be beneficial. Where a low voltage cable is installed to ultimately feed a future stage, the cable is to be shown on the For Construction design as being connected and capped.
