In this presentation Jeff will be joining us in Wellington from Australia to outline the requirements and considerations associated with undertaking repairs, alterations, retrofits, and upgrades to existing switchboards in accordance with AS/NZS 3000: 2018 & AS/NZS 61439.
In addition to our Electrical Engineering Group members, we extend the invitation to all interested parties.
Key Learning Outcomes:
• What are the specific requirements associated with switchboard repairs, alterations, and retrofits.
• The do’s & don’ts with repairs and retrofits, and how to achieve verification.
• Can existing switchboard be expanded and still be compliant.
• Can an MCCB be fitted into a fuse switch module?
• Technical Implications of adding load to a board without a supply capacity control device.
• What are the technical considerations when carrying out an alteration/repair under AS/NZS 61439 & AS/NZS 3000.
Following the presentation Jeff will be available to answer your questions.
This presentation is available to attend both online and in person starting at 5:30pm sharp.
For those wishing to join us in person there is the option to attend either in Wellington at Engineering New Zealand’s office or in in Auckland at Stantec’s office. For those joining us in person doors open at 5:00pm for refreshments and networking with the presentation starting at 5:30pm.
