  1. Indian regulations inElectrical Safety P.Lahiri BARC

  2. Repealed under section 185 of Electricity act -2003 Indian regulations. • Indian Electricity Act-1910. • Indian Electricity (Supply) Act- 1948. • Indian Electricity Regulatory Commission Act-1998. • The Electricity Act –2003. • Indian Electricity Rules- 1956.

  3. Objectives of regulations • Make generation, transmission, distribution and utilization of electricity as safe as possible. • Identification of different categories of agencies. • Remove ambiguities from existing qualitative guidelines and pronounce precise quantitative technical requirement with respect to safety.

  4. Categories of agencies • Supplier of electricity. • Consumer of electricity. • Electrical inspector. • Electrical contractor and supervisors. • Authorized persons.

  5. Hazards of electricity • Electric shock:-Current flows through body or part of body when two surfaces having electrical potential difference is touched resulting in burn, disability or even death. • Flashover:-Sudden collapse of electric field by having a conducting path between two electrical potential different surfaces resulting in burn, fire. • Blast:-Failure of dielectric medium between two electrical potential different surfaces resulting in projectile, mechanical force, fire or burn. • Heat:-Caused by loose connection in the circuit, overheating of insulation/ conductor due to overload or prolonged short circuit current etc. resulting in fire, burn.

  6. Quantitative effect of electric current (up to 3sec.) on human (source Daziel)

  7. Flash and flame burn Thermal burns, Current flows typically external, Damage to skin
