CAP. 59] Factories and Industrial Undertakings
(Electricity) Regulations
[1982 Ed.
"electrical contractor" means any person or firm engaged in carrying out electrical work by way of trade or business, either on his own account or pursuant to a contract or arrangement entered into with another person, including the Crown or any public body;
"electrical hazard" means danger to health, life or property from electric fire or electric shock;
"extra-low voltage" means any voltage not exceeding 50 volts alternating current or 120 volts direct current whether between conductors or to earth;
"high voltage" means any voltage normally exceeding low voltage;
"insulated" and "insulating" in relation to any apparatus, device, protective equipment or fitting means made of or covered with a non-conducting material of such design and construction so that it is normally impossible when the apparatus, device, protective equipment or fitting is in use for any person to make accidental or unintentional contact with any live metal or metal liable to become live;
"live" means charged with electricity so that a voltage exists between a conductor and another conductor or a conductor and earth;
"low voltage" means any voltage normally exceeding extra-low voltage but not exceeding 1000 volts alternating current or 1500 volts direct current between conductors or 600 volts alternating current or 900 volts direct current between conductors and earth;
"protective equipment" includes any insulating stands, screens, portable or otherwise, mats and covers and insulating boots, gloves or other protective equipment provided and maintained under regulation 20 or 21(1), as the case may be;
"substation" means any building, structure or enclosure, either above or below ground, containing transforming or converting apparatus in which electrical energy is transformed or converted to or from voltage exceeding low voltage otherwise than for the purpose of working instruments, relays or similar auxiliary apparatus, where such building, structure or enclosure has sufficient space to permit a person to enter;
"switchboard" means a panel or structure on which is located any switching equipment or other apparatus used in or in connexion with the control of current or voltage in an electrical system;
"system" means an electrical system in which all the conductors and apparatus used in or in connexion with the electrical system are connected to a common source of electrical energy; and
"voltage" means the difference of electrical potential between conductors or between a conductor and the earth.
