Regarding the "fuses" issue:
"In order to issue the said certificate the db board must be brought into compliance with the latest regulations in force at the time of the alteration."
I have difficulty understanding this statement as it is confusing. The old part of the installation is certainly the "existing part" of the installation. Which is clearly defined in Clause 9 (b) and (c) :
(b)an electrical installation which existed prior to the publication of the current edition of the health and safety standard incorporated into these Regulations in terms of regulation 5(1), complies with the general safety principles of such standard; or an electrical installation referred to in paragraph (b), to which extensions or alterations have been effected, that
(i) the existing part of the electrical installation complies with the general safety principles of such standard and is reasonably safe, and
(ii) the extensions or alterations effected comply with the provisions of regulation 5(1) and were carried out under his or her general control
Which brings me to my question, where, under the "General Safety Principles in the SANS 10142 book, does it specify that fuses cannot be used. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
Pse, Not Clause 6.10 on page 177, that is NOT part of the " General Safety Principles" as per Clause 5 on page 67,: "5. Fundamental requirements NOTE This clause contains the general safety principles applicable to electrical
installations."
