Because of the added risks in high voltage installations, an additional measure of controls is required before energisation. The Queensland Electrical Safety Regulation requires all high-voltage installations to be inspected by an accredited auditor before being connected to a source of supply.
An accredited auditor must show an understanding of the Electrical Safety Act and relevant standards, including AS/NZS 3000 Wiring Rules, AS2067 Switchgear assemblies and ancillary equipment for alternating voltages above 1 kV and AS3007 Electrical installations –Surface mines. Voltex Power Engineers provide accredited auditor services that ensure legislative compliance, assist with maintenance planning, minimise downtime or blackouts, and most importantly increase personnel safety.
