In order to ensure that the safety norms and regulations mandated in the CEA regulations such as provision of Residual Current

Device inside the premises of consumers and production of necessary approval from Electrical Inspector are to be specifically

provided in the Distribution Code for creating awareness among the consumers and for effective implementation to ensure public

safety against electric shock and fire hazards. Further the expression ‘authority’ needs to be defined with clarity.

The LT application needs to be provisioned for joint application by the co-owners as the present format is suitable only for a

single applicant.

To define the conditions for metering point location in HT service to make it more practicable so as to ensure that the Licensee is

able to reach the location easily during surprise inspection and viable alternate solution where there is no feasibility to erect metering

point within the specified distance from main gate or specified location.

To add provision to erect single pole type Transformer inside consumer’s premises in addition to existing provision for erecting

conventional double pole type.

There being exclusive conditions for Temporary supply, the specific requirements to provide space and other provisions for

erection of Transformer or sub-station need to be made more specific to the applicant at the initial stage itself and for that purpose

it is proposed to prescribe a separate format for the said category.

To add clarity in computing the difference in cost between the types of sub-station when the applicant chooses to provide space

for a type of sub-station other than the type preferred by the Licensee.

The monthly minimum charges to be paid in regard to supply availability notice period has to be made specific to avoid

ambiguity.

The amendment seeks to address the above issues.

(i) The supply of electricity to every installation of

low voltage (240 V) and medium voltage(415V) including

installations of temporary supply shall be controlled by a

Residual Current (operated) Device (RCD), whose rated

residual operating current shall not exceed 30 milliampere

for protection against electric shock, so as to disconnect the

supply on the occurrence of earth fault or leakage of current.

(ii) In the case of installations having large number of

motors, equipment, appliances of loads totaling above 10 kW,

one common RCD at the point of commencement of supply

with rated residual operating current of 300 milliampere for

protection against electrical ﬁ re shall be provided, in addition

to RCD of not exceeding 30 milliampere rating for protection

against electric shock.

(iii) An installation, where there are a large number of

loads giving rise to a sum of permissible leakage currents

exceeding 30 milliampere, shall be subdivided into circuits

to avoid nuisance tripping and each sub-divided circuit shall

be provided with an independent RCD with leakage current

sensitivity rating not exceeding 30 milliampere at appropriate

location(s).

Explanation–RCD is a generic term which embraces the

various types of RCCBs, (Residual Current operated Circuit

Breaker), RCBOs (Residual Current operated Circuit Breaker

with integral Overcurrent protection), etc., RCCB is also called
