3 Section 1- General Application of this document Replace paragraph 2 The requirements of this document apply to customers and their agents in relation to electrical installations connected to or intended to be connected to SA Power Networks distribution network. Alterations of, or, additions to an existing electrical installation shall be deemed to be a new electrical installation and are covered by the requirements of this document. 1.3 Definitions Add and replace the respective definitions Community Lot - is a separately owned Lot within a Community Title Scheme. Common Property - Property within a Community Title Scheme that is owned by the community corporation. The community corporation is comprised of all lot owners within the Community Title Scheme. Common property relates to those parts that do not form part of a lot and typically includes the land for the service infrastructure and driveways that are shared. Roads within Community Title Schemes are generally common property. Community Title Scheme - is the division of land into at least two lots and generally an area of common property. The Community Title Act provides for implied easements within a Community Title development. These implied easements only relate to private service infrastructure and do not apply to infrastructure that is owned by SA Power Networks. Dual Fronted Property - means a property that has a frontage on two opposite boundaries, one of which is the street address and the other being another public area. MNSP - Manager Network Standards & Performance. Registered Meter Provider - is a person registered with AEMO who provides and maintains metering installations in accordance with the National Electricity Rules requirements. Issue 3 September 2012 Page 3 of 55

4 Regulator - for the purposes of these rules a reference to the regulator means the agency authorised by law to administer the relevant act, code, standard or requirement. This may be: The Australian Energy Regulator (AER), Office of the Technical Regulator (OTR), Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC), Essential Services Commission of SA (ESCOSA), Australian Energy Market Commission (AEMC), Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO), Or other agencies Strata Title Development - A Strata Title Development is regarded as a Community Title Scheme for the purpose of this document. All terms related to Strata Title have the equivalent meaning to the terms relating to the Community Title. Torrens Title - A Torrens title land division is a division of land into at least two allotments, which are held / owned independently of one another. A Torrens title land division requires that each new allotment has frontage to a public road or adequate access to a public road. There are generally no shared facilities or infrastructure as each allotment must have its own infrastructure arrangements in place. Issue 3 September 2012 Page 4 of 55

The Customer must obtain formal approval from the relevant SA Power Networks manager. Negotiations for supply should precede detailed design work, placement of orders for equipment and letting of contracts to avoid loss to the Customer arising from designs or equipment being found by the Distributor to be unsuitable for connection to the supply system.

Issue 3 September 2012 Page 36 of 55

37 A Scope: Add new 1 st paragraph A Appendix 4- Low Voltage Metering The intention of the subsequent clauses is to provide permanent unimpeded and safe ongoing access to the meter enclosure for SA Power Networks personnel. Principal Frontage Area: Replace entire clause This clause is to be read in conjunction with clause A4.3.6 which provides application examples for meter box locations which must be located within the principal frontage area. (a.) General: The principal frontage area is an area on the real property that is enclosed by the boundaries consisting of the principal frontage property boundary, the wall of the building facing the principal frontage property boundary and extending around the comer of the building to 1.5 metres a fence, wall or obstruction whichever is the lesser and extending parallel with the principal frontage property boundary to the side boundaries of the property or other obstruction (e.g. Fence or wall) enclosing the area entered when entry is via the main access located in the principal frontage boundary to the property. Excluding areas that could be enclosed by walls, fences, doors and gates now or in the future and covered areas where a vehicle can be parked. (b.) Multi Face Dwelling: Where the dwelling has multiple faces or where the facing wall is not parallel to the principal frontage boundary then the portions of the dwelling which are closer to the principal frontage property boundary than the dwellings main entrance are to be considered as the facing wall for the purpose of defining the principal frontage area. Refer to Appendix A ; Figure (2) & (3). (c.) Dual Fronted Properties: In these properties, the principal frontage area will be considered to be the face of the dwelling that has been designed as the main public access. (i.e. the entry point at which a visitor would access the property). Issue 3 September 2012 Page 37 of 55

38 A Refer to Appendix A ; Figures (8) & (9). The alternative meterbox location shown in Figure (8) is subject to the following conditions: There remains unrestricted access to the metering/service fuse enclosure; and The metering/service fuse enclosure is located on the roadway side of any existing or proposed access gate; and That the metering/service fuse enclosure is located in a position within 1.5m from the building line adjacent to the road reserve boundary. The intention of this clause is to provide unimpeded access to the meter enclosure for SA Power Networks personnel. Principal Frontage Property Boundary: Replace paragraph Is that boundary between the real property and the gazetted road. However, where a property has boundaries with two (2) or more gazetted roads the principal frontage boundary will be that which provides primary public / personal access.

44 A Single Residential Wall on Boundary (a.) High security perimeter fence, meter enclosure built into perimeter fence or low security air lock. Figure (1) (b.) The design and structure of the building are such that the meter box cannot be located within the 1.5 metres of the corner of the building. (E.g. where windows are installed within 1.5 metres of the comer of the building). Figure (2) Issue 3 September 2012 Page 44 of 55

45 (c.) Non lockable personal access gate or gate locked with SA Power Networks Master Key System. Figure (3) (d.) The building is constructed up to the 'Principal Frontage Property Boundary' and access is available along a side walkway on the real property. The meter position should be accessible to the same extent as the primary dwelling entrance i.e. between property entry point and the front door. The building is built to all boundaries thereby eliminating any access to the meter box except through a low security area. Figure (4) Issue 3 September 2012 Page 45 of 55

Meter box may be permitted in a common low security garage provided the clearances are maintained and any vehicle cannot be parked within the clearance zone- access via SA Power Networks Master Key System. Figure (5) Single Non-Residential First preference is as per residential installations i.e. exterior location. Where the premises are built to the boundaries and the premises will be accessible during normal business hours (e.g. shop) an interior location is acceptable subject to safe and convenient access being maintained. If the required access cannot be maintained the customer must arrange for relocation of the metering enclosure to a compliant location at their expense.
