How this is calculated

The tool lists how a hand-held appliance may be supplied. It reads regs 88, 89 and 89A of the Electricity (Safety) Regulations 2010. It points at the regulation. It does not rule on a site or a system.

  1. Situation. You pick where the appliance is used. The choices are anywhere, immersed or conductive surroundings, damp, outdoor or under construction, or a cramped space.
  2. Regulation. The tool picks reg 88(1) for any appliance, or reg 89 or 89A for the harder situations.
  3. Voltage to earth. It gives the maximum voltage to earth from reg 88(2). For an earthed source in some situations, it gives the lower figure from reg 89(2)(d).
  4. Paragraphs. It counts the connection methods or supply arrangements the regulation lists. It then names each one.
StepTable or clauseWhat it decides
Connection methodsreg 88(1)(a), (b) and (c)The ways to connect, as alternatives
Maximum voltagereg 88(2)The voltage to earth limit
Supply arrangementsreg 89(2) and reg 89AThe arrangements for the harder situations

Worked example

A hand-held appliance used outdoors or on a building site. The tool lists 7 supply arrangements under reg 89(2). The maximum voltage to earth is 250 V. For an earthed source it is 55 V.

Limits

  • The tool is a pointer. It is not a ruling and it is not advice.
  • The paragraphs of reg 88(1) are alternatives. They are not a cumulative set.
  • Reg 88(3), reg 89(3) and reg 89A(2) address offences. The tool holds none of that detail.
  • The tool read the regulations as at 15 January 2026. Check for a later version.
  • It does not check the cord length or the RCD. Use the site cord length and RCD selection tools.

He aha tā tēnei taputapu e pūrongo ana mō tētahi taputapu ā-ringa?

Ka whakaingoa i te pārakarapa e tū ana i muri i ia urunga e whakarārangi ana: te reg 88(1) mō te hononga, te reg 88(2) mō te nui rawa o te 250 AC volts ki te whenua, ā, te reg 89(1), te reg 89(2) me te reg 89A(1) mō te āhuatanga. Ka tohu a AmpSize ki te tohutoro, kāore e whakatau mō tētahi wāhi, mō tētahi pūnaha rānei.

He aha ngā rerekētanga mō te mahi i ngā wāhi mākū, i waho, i ngā wāhi hanga rānei?

Ka rārangi a reg 89(2) i ngā whakaritenga puna e whitu, i te taha o te toru i reg 89(1) me te toru i reg 89A(1). Ko tētahi o ngā whitu, reg 89(2)(d), ka tū i runga i tētahi puna whakawhenua i te teitei rawa o te 55 volts AC ki te whenua. Pānuitia reg 89(2)(a) ki reg 89(2)(g) mō te kupu o ia tētahi.

Ko tēhea ture e kapi ana i tētahi wāhi whakapākahi?

Ka uru a reg 89A(1) ki tētahi wāhi kūiti, ā, ka uru a reg 89(1) ki tētahi āhuatanga kua ruku, kawe hiko rānei. Pānuitia ia mea mō te whānuitanga e whakatakotoria ana e ia. E toru ngā paratarafa i ia rārangi o ēnei e rua, ki te whitu i reg 89(2), ā, ka whakaingoa a AmpSize i te paratarafa kei muri i ia urunga i ngā rārangi e toru.

He aha a AmpSize e pūrongo ana i tētahi tauāhua voltage anake?

E rua ngā tauanga 250 e tata ana ki ēnei ture i runga i ngā tūāpapa rerekē. Ka kī a reg 88(2) i te 250 volts AC ki te whenua. Ka tū a reg 89(1)(a), reg 89(2)(a), reg 89(2)(f) me reg 89A(1)(a) i runga i te voltage i waenga i ngā kaikawe, ā, kāore a AmpSize e whakaputa tauanga i runga i taua tūāpapa, nā reira kāore e taea te whakapōrearea i ngā mea e rua.

He whakataunga tēnei taputapu mō tētahi mahi?

Kāo. Ka whakaingoa e AmpSize te ture me te pārakarapa, ā, ka pūrongo i ngā tatauranga e pupuri ana. Kāore ia e aromatawai i tētahi wāhi, i tētahi taputapu, i tētahi mahi rānei, ehara hoki tēnei i te tohutohu ture. Ko te reg 88(3), te reg 89(3) me te reg 89A(2) e pā ana ki ngā hara, ā, kāore a AmpSize e pupuri ana i ērā kōrero katoa.
