AS NZS 3008.1.1 2017 sets out a method for cable selection for those types of electrical cables and methods of installation that are in common use at working voltages up to and including 0.6/1 kV at 50 Hz a.c.
This Standard was prepared by the Joint Standards Australia/Standards New Zealand Committee EL-001, Wiring Rules, to supersede AS/NZS 3008.1.1:2009, Electrical installations—Selection of cables, Part 1.1: Cables for alternating voltages up to and including 0.6/1 kV—Typical Australian installation conditions.
This Standard is applicable to Australian installation conditions where the nominal ambient air and soil temperatures are 40°C and 25°C, respectively. AS/NZS 3008.1.2 is applicable to New Zealand installation conditions where the nominal air and soil temperatures are 30°C and 15°C respectively. Each Part is a complete Standard and requires no reference to the other.
AS/NZS 3008.1.2 deals with cables for use with alternating voltages over 1 kV. The objective of this Standard is to specify current-carrying capacity, voltage drop and short-circuit temperature rise of cables, to provide a method of selection for those types of electric cables and methods of installation that are in common use at working voltages up to and including 0.6/1 kV at 50 Hz a.c.
