This Standard sets out some of the common inspection and test methods required to check that a low voltage electrical installation complies with the safety requirements for the prevention of fire or a person or livestock from sustaining an electric shock.The tests detailed in this Standard are as follows:(a) Continuity of the earthing system.(b) Insulation resistance.(c) Polarity.(d) Correct circuit connections.(e) Fault-loop impedance.(f) Verification of operation of residual current devices.NOTE: AS/NZS 3000 indicates that tests (a), (b), (c) and (d) are mandatory and tests (e) and (f) are optional.The Standard illustrates testing procedures for an electrical installation which provides a multiple earthed neutral (MEN) system of earthing. The equipment and methods(i) are not exclusive and other equipment and methods may be used; and(ii) may be applied to other types of low voltage installations, e.g. non-domestic, commercial; and (iii) may be applied to work affecting only part of an installation, e.g. alterations, additions or repairs; and(iv) may be adapted to other supply earthing systems.
