基础级别
读者在首次计算前需要了解的概念:电流、电压降和 MEN 系统。
- 阅读约 4 分钟Conduit fill and installation methodsHow the conduit space factor works, what the fill percent means against the 40 percent limit, and how the install method names on site map to the 3008 columns.

- 阅读约 5 分钟Current-carrying capacity and deratingWhy one cable size has many ratings. Install method, ambient, grouping, soil and depth, with a 25 A circuit that needs 10 mm² once the factors apply.

- 阅读约 3 分钟Downlights and insulation: IC-4, CA90 and Non‑ICThe six recessed luminaire classes, what insulation may do around each, which a NZ or AU home may have, the default clearances, and the roof space warning sign.

- 阅读约 3 分钟Home batteries and AS/NZS 5139How a home solar battery is sized in kWh, what usable, nominal, depth of discharge and round-trip efficiency mean, and where AS/NZS 5139 lets one go.

- 阅读约 4 分钟Home battery location and clearancesWhere AS/NZS 5139 lets an all-in-one home battery go. Restricted places, 600 and 900 mm zones, the habitable room barrier, ceiling, IP codes and working space.

- 阅读约 3 分钟How many circuits can go on one RCDThe AS/NZS 3000 Cl 2.6.2.4 arrangement rules in plain words, which circuits need a 30 mA RCD in NZ and AU homes, how RCBOs count, and why the rules exist.

- 阅读约 3 分钟IP ratings explained: each digit and letterWhat the two numerals of an IP code mean, what X, the letters A to D and H, M, S, W add, why IP67 is not better than IP65 for jets, and where 3000 sets a code.

- 阅读约 4 分钟MEN system: multiple earthed neutral explainedMEN means multiple earthed neutral. In NZ, earth and neutral join at the main switchboard. A fault on a 32 A C curve circuit then draws 343.8 A and clears.

- 阅读约 6 分钟Ohm's law and power on d.c. and a.c.Ohm's law and the power formulas on d.c., single-phase and three-phase a.c.: how power factor and impedance change them, and how any two values give the rest.

- 阅读约 3 分钟Power points near a cooktop, gas bottle and sinkThe AS/NZS 3000 zones that keep power points, switches and lights away from cooktops, gas cylinders, gas vents and regulators, and where sinks are checked.

- 阅读约 2 分钟Switchboard labels and circuit chartsWhat AS/NZS 3000 asks a switchboard to carry: a chart tying each device to what it supplies, MAIN SWITCH, MAIN SWITCHBOARD, solar labels and marked neutrals.

- 阅读约 3 分钟The 5 % voltage drop limit from supply to loadWhat AS/NZS 3000 Cl 3.6.2 limits, how the drop of the mains, submains and final subcircuits adds by percent, the four exceptions and why any split is yours.

- 阅读约 2 分钟The order of verification testsWhy AS/NZS 3017 tests earth continuity before insulation and loop impedance before RCDs, which circuits take which test, and where each limit comes from.

- 阅读约 4 分钟Voltage drop basicsOhm's law on a cable, the mV/A·m shortcut, the percent limit and the maximum length, worked on a 25 A run over 35 m of 4 mm² copper.

- 阅读约 4 分钟Who may do electrical work in NZThe regulations that govern prescribed electrical work and its certification in New Zealand, named by number, with the paperwork abbreviations explained.

- 阅读约 2 分钟Wire colours in NZ and Australia, old and newThe active, neutral and earth colours of AS/NZS 3000 Table 3.4, the NZ black neutral, older yellow and green conductors, and flexible cord colours.
