Electricity Supply Regulations
[CAP. 103
(iii) switches, efficient fuses or other automatic cut-outs shall be provided, so as to protect the circuits from excess of current, and all switches and cut-outs shall be so enclosed and protected that there shall be no danger of any shock being obtained in the ordinary handling thereof, or of any fire being caused by their normal or abnormal action;
(c) where the supply is for incandescent lamps in series, unless the Director of Electrical and Mechanical Services otherwise allows-
(i) the consumer's wires forming the connexions to the incandescent lamps, or otherwise in connexion with the supply, shall be completely enclosed in strong metal casing and this casing together with the switches and lamp holders, if metallic, shall be efficiently connected with earth:
(ii) switches, efficient fuses or other automatic cut-outs shall be provided, so as to protect the circuits from excess of current, and all switches and cut-outs shall be so enclosed and protected that there shall be no danger of any shock being obtained in the ordinary handling thereof, or of any fire being caused by their normal action:
(d) where the supply is for any special purpose other than those above mentioned, or where the pressure of the supply exceeds the limits of medium pressure, it shall be subject to such other regulations as the Governor in Council may prescribe.

Introduction of three-wire system into consumer's premises.
3. When the pressure between the outer conductors of a three-wire system exceeds 250 volts and the 3 wires of the system or 2 pairs of wires are brought into a consumer's premises, the supply shall be given to 2 pairs of terminals arranged in such a manner that there shall be no danger of any shock, and the wiring from those terminals shall be kept distinct.
4. (1) The sectional area of the conductor in any electric line other than low tension laid or erected in any street after 2 December 1921, shall not be less than that of a strand of 7 wires, each of which is of No. 22 standard wire gauge, and the sectional area of every wire in a strand forming any such conductor shall not be less than that gauge, and where such stranded conductor is erected it shall be suspended from a suitable bearer wire or shall be protected by a suitable cradle fixed underneath. In the case of low tension conductors in any electric line the sectional area shall not be less than that of a single wire of No. 16 standard wire gauge efficiently insulated.
(2) This regulation shall not apply in the case of an electric line placed in a lamp post.
Minimum size of conductors.
