1 AS/NZS 3003:2011 Cardiac Protected Electrical Areas (shall comply with Section 2 and Section 4 of the standard) The following is a guide for electricians involved with electrical installations for patient areas in hospitals and medical facilities which are deemed to comply with AS/NZS 3003:2011 Cardiac Protected Electrical Areas. This guide in no way replaces the need to consult and understand the relevant standard and it is not endorsed or approved by any authority. This document has been produced by persons with relevant industry experience who have seen a need to give some basic advice and direction for electricians prior to them undertaking electrical installations in patient areas. This documents only high lights the areas of common mistakes or misinterpretation and provides an easy reference by category and relevant clause identification, it in no way replaces the need to consult and understand the whole standard. The relevant clause is listed first in the topic sentence, and the statements or sentences here are not necessarily a direct representation of the clause. Categories Final sub-circuits, (page 2) Socket outlets (GPOs), (page 3) Electrical areas, (page 7) RCDs, (page 8) Contractor, (page 12) Definitions, (page 13) Cleaners socket outlets, (page 14) Marking / Labelling, (page 15) Permanently wired equipment, (page 16) Earthing / EP bonding, (page 17) Alterations and additions, (page 23) Page 1 of 23

2 Final sub-circuits CL (final sub-circuits cardiac) Only supply one patient location / bed, not looped from patient to patient or to another room, therefore the ensuite cannot share the sub-circuit, it requires a separate sub-circuit. Cardiac protected room with 6 patient locations (no looping of final sub-circuits between patient locations or other rooms). Sub-circuit 1 (MCB in DB) Sub-circuit 2 (MCB in DB) Sub-circuit 3 (MCB in DB) Sub-circuit 4 (MCB in DB) Sub-circuit 5 (MCB in DB) Sub-circuit 6 (MCB in DB) Sub-circuit 7 (staff station) (MCB in DB) Sub-circuit 8 (staff station) (MCB in DB) Cardiac protection rules shall apply to all GPO s including the staff station. Cardiac protected rooms (x3) with one patient location and ensuite (entryways shown closed for clarity) RCD at each bedhead (typical) RCD in each ensuite (if GPO installed) Sub-circuit 1 Sub-circuit 2 Sub-circuit 3 (MCB in DB) (MCB in DB) (MCB in DB) Sub-circuit 4 Sub-circuit 5 Sub-circuit 6 (MCB in DB) (MCB in DB) (MCB in DB) Page 2 of 23

3 Socket outlets CL (socket outlets) IEC GPOs to be RCD protected. CL (socket outlets) 5m RULE GPOs within 5m of a cardiac protected area and are accessible without the use of a key or tool are to be RCD protected. (RCD shall be 10mA double pole). The 5m rule GPOs could be located in rooms or corridors opening directly off the classified cardiac protected area. (The process of accessing the 5m rule GPO through a second door other than a door opening directly off or associated with the classified cardiac protected area may exclude this GPO from the ruling). 5m RULE GPOs shall be RCD protected, 10mA double pole and bonded back to the corresponding EP junction. Cardiac area Cardiac area Cardiac area 5m rule boundary. (a taut 5m flexible lead is plugged into the suspected GPO and if the socket end passes into the entryway or doorway of the Cardiac protected area the GPO is then deemed to fall within the boundary). This GPO falls under the rule as the opening to the room is not provided with a door. This GPO is excluded from the rule as the room does not open directly off the Cardiac protected area (second doorway). Cardiac Protected area These GPOs fall under the rule as the rooms open directly off the cardiac protected area and the doors are not locked. This GPO is excluded from the rule as the door is locked with key or card access only. Page 3 of 23

4 Socket outlets (cont.) CL (socket outlets) GPOs backed up by a UPS system; require a UPS status indicator where there is continuous patient observation by medical staff. The status indicator must be connected to the UPS battery system to indicate loss of mains supply to the UPS. (labelled) UPS STATUS CL (socket outlets) GPOs not readily accessible require a separate readily accessible double pole isolation switch (height of switch no more than 2m from the ground, floor or platform). GPOs must be below 2m to be classed as readily accessible and not behind heavy equipment. The purpose of this is to provide easy isolation of the equipment by the staff in the area to enable resetting of RCDs should there be an equipment fault. Double pole isolators shall be independent of the equipment they are controlling, to allow for removal and service of equipment. Do not place isolation switches for GPOs in the same switch plate as light switches. GPO isolators shall be a minimum of 500mm away from any light switch if near the entrance to the room. Isolation switches must be double pole. Labelled accordingly. CL (socket outlets) Refer this clause for the definition of 'readily accessible'. Capable of being reached quickly and without climbing over or removing obstructions, mounting upon a chair, or using a movable ladder, and in any case not more than 2m above the ground, floor or platform.
