Many owners, operators and managers of large buildings or industrial facilities in Perth receive their high voltage power supply from the Western Power Network.<\/p>\n

Installations in remote areas generally have their own power distribution system, a power supply from Horizon Power or receive their electrical power supply through a contracted private power generation facility. These power stations supply high voltage power for use at various industrial premises.<\/p>\n

In Western Australia, recent changes to the Western Australian Electrical Requirements have highlighted the legislative requirements for the regular and ongoing inspection of these high voltage assets that are owned or operated within a facility.<\/p>\n

The requirement is not just for the hardware, but for the supporting documentation such as drawings, test records and safety management procedures and permits for accessing and working on the equipment.<\/p>\n

Not only is this addressed in the Western Australian Electrical Requirements but is also included in other documents such as the Western Australian Mines Safety and Inspection Act, The Western Power and Horizon Power Technical Rules.<\/p>\n

There is a range of Australian Standards which address these requirements for routine inspection and testing such as AS3000, AS2067 and AS7000 amongst others.<\/p>\n
