table 6.2.8(a)

Table 6.2.8 (b)
(h)

6.14.1.6 In a lighting circuit, a luminaire may be fed from a socket-outlet on a
wall (that may be unswitched), provided that the socket-outlet
a) complies with SANS 164-3 or SANS 164-2-1 (partially dedicated
socket-outlet), Amdt 1
b) is protected by earth leakage protection, except in the case where
SANS 164-2-1 (partially dedicated socket-outlet) socket outlets are fitted,
Amdt 1

6.16.3.3.1Stove connections shall be connected by either 6.16.3.3.2 or
6.6.3.3.3. Amdt 1

6.16.3.3.3 The stove connections may be wireddirectly between the isolator
and the stove terminals, by means of a flexible arrangement, which are
mechanically secured and be terminated on either end. When the stove is
removed, the final section of hard wiring to the stove terminals has to be
removed and made safe. Amdt 1

7.16.3 Voltage drop
The designer of the distribution system shall select the components in order
to ensure a minimum voltage drop over the system, which will allow for the
voltage drop over the entire installation, which is the distribution system, not
to exceed the 5 % of the circuit nominal voltage (see 6.2.7) and maintaining
the overall voltage requirements in 5.4.2. Amdt 1

NOTE 2 In South Africa, it is a statutory requirement that an approved Inspection
Authority (AIA), or a defined competent person, or a person registered in the
professional category in terms of the relevant national legislation (see foreword),
ensures compliance from commencement to commissioning of an electrical installation
where the intention is to supply five or more users from a new point of supply (see the
relevant national regulation (see foreword)).
Amdt 1
8.1 Inspection and tests
Section 5 of the test report provides for the person who carried out the
inspection and testing of the electrical installation as given in 8.5 and 8.6, if
the results are acceptable, to verify that the installation complies with the
requirements of this part of SANS 10142.
NOTE If the test report covers an installation in South Africa that existed before the
publication of this part of SANS 10142 and extensions or alteractions made since then,
both blocks that refer to installations which existed before and after the publication of
this part of SANS 10142 should be marked.

NOTE 1 This calculation gives practical and conservative results. Amdt 1
NOTE 2 The return current path impedance should be considered where applicable
Amdt 1

8.5.2 Complete the inspection table in the test report by confirming the
statements in item1) to 4) with "Yes" in the appropriate block. "No" answers to
the following statements will prevent the issuing of the report:
a) conductors are of the correct rating and current-carrying capacity for the
protective devices and connected load,
Pay attention to voltage rating, voltage drop, current-carrying
capacity and short-circuit capacity.
b) components have been correctly selected and installed, and are accessible
where necessary, Amdt 1

[ians]

8.6 Testing
Certain tests shall not be carried out in hazardous locations. Due to the
characteristics of the intrinsic safety features of equipment, such
equipment can be damaged by certain tests. Certain tests might be
impractical in existing installations already under power.
8.6.1 General
NOTE Conduct all tests and complete a copy of the test report for each distribution
board and supply (normal and alternative supplies). Amdt 1

[ians]

For the testing of installations that are fully or partially in hazardous or
specialized locations, see the relevant standards, and complete the additional
report(s) (see 8.7 for hazardous locations) and the SANS 10142-1-1 test
report for medical locations. Amdt 1

[ians]

8.6.2 Continuity of bonding
Confirm the continuity of the bonding conductors between all exposed
conductive parts within arms reach (or see annex A) of each other. When a
test device or instrument is used, it shall have a supply that has a no‐load d.c.
or a.c. voltage of 4 V to 24 V, and a current of at least 0,2 A. In each case, the
resistance shall not exceed 0,2 Ω. Amdt 1

[ians]

8.6.7 Earth resistance
8.6.7.1 Earth resistance can be determined in accordance with SANS 10199.
NOTE Where the supplier does not provide an earthing terminal or where an
alternative supply is installed, the efficiency of the earthing system can be confirmed by
this test in SANS 10199 or by using an appropriate instrument. Amdt 1

[ians]

8.7 Test reports
The following test reports are applicable:
a) Test report for all electrical installations, excluding secondary reticulation,
NOTE This report may be supplemented with the additional report for a medical
location. Amdt 1
b) Test report for secondary reticulation per 7.16,
c) Additional test report for electrical installations in medical location in
accordance with SANS 10142-1-1, and Amdt 1
d) Inspection and test report for electrical installations in hazardous locations

It quite handy having 3.0 and 3.1 in pdf ... you can tile them and scroll down to see the amendments.

You would think they would check the document for errors prior to releasing them

[ians]

That people is what you gonna piss another R1000 + against the wall to receive ...what a waste of R1000

I have included the slights change to the test report because that will be on any new test report you purchase.

I have another draft for new regulations ... the only reason I wasted the money ... I thought a lot of the stuff in that draft would be in this update ... once again you live and learn and waste money.

Ians you are a hero! Thank you! when ever we cross paths a lunch is on me.

This what you are paying over a R1000 for

huge amendments ... I can only sit here and smile

[ians]

I sat read the entire PDF to see where the 19 pages were missing ... The pages missing are related to medical locations ... an example annex L is gone.

[ians]

For the record ... I did check the document properties

At long last!!
An option to the stove coupler (which is not available for love or money )
