Foreword
The Regulation and Supervision Bureau for the water, wastewater and electricity sector in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi (the Bureau) issued new Wiring Regulations in December 2007, covering the design, installation and maintenance of electrical installations in premises. Following implementation of these Regulation during 2008 the Bureau now proposes to issue an amendment to the Regulations, as a result feedback from interested parties. This amendment contains a number of clarifications and additional guidance. Two items of particular note concern the arrangements for RCD protection in Final Distribution Boards (clause 7.8.6) and the method for calculating Diversified Load (clause 3.2.5). The Bureau wishes to consult all interested parties on the proposed amendment, following which a revision of the Electricity Wiring Regulations will be issued. Responses should be provided by post or email by 10 September 2008, addressed to: Nick Carter Director General Regulation and Supervision Bureau PO Box 32800 Abu Dhabi Email: power@rsb.gov.ae

5.4.3

RCD devices for Final Circuits must have a time-current performance characteristic complying with BS EN 61008 and BS 4293. Earth Leakage Protection provided at the Supply Intake must be set to discriminate with ELP devices at Final Circuits (i.e. earth faults on Final Circuits must be automatically disconnected by the closest ELP device, except in the case of back-up operation of devices at the Supply Intake). See Appendix A5(m) and Guidance Note G4(e).

correction

5.4.5

additional cross-reference

[Note: such discrimination may be provided by time-delayed RCD's at the Supply Intake, earth fault relays or other suitable devices. ELP is not required at Sub Distribution Boards but, if provided, must discriminate with ELP devices on upstream and downstream Circuits].
5.4.6 The operating current setting for ELP devices at the Supply Intake must take into account the nature of the Installation (e.g. commercial, industrial etc), the likelihood and magnitude of earth fault currents, and the requirement for protection against Indirect Contact, see Appendix A5(m) and Guidance Note G4(f).

clarification

[Note: where the Supply Intake consists of a multi-panel LV switchboard, each panel or circuit breaker should be fitted with ELP devices in order to limit the extent of power interruptions.]
5.6.8 Water heaters, air conditioning units, motors and other similar items must be provided with double pole isolation (or 4 pole isolation for 3phase items) to ensure safe access for the purpose of maintenance and repair. (b) The Distribution Company system is earthed at the distribution transformer (11kV/400V) and separate earth and neutral conductors are used All Exposed-Metallic-Parts of an Installation,

Structural foundations or piles may be used as lightning earth electrodes if sufficiently separated from the Main Earth Electrodes. The use of 'Shuko' CEE7/7 2-pin type plugs is strictly prohibited. The use of 'Euro' CEE7/16 plugs is permitted only where used with an approved adaptor converting such plugs for use on BS 1363 type socket-outlets, see Appendix A17(a). An allowable exception to clause 7.1.1 is the use of shaver supply units in bathrooms, complying with BS 3535. For these types of socket-outlet, which are supplied by a SELV safety isolating transformer, 2-pin unearthed type plugs may be used but which must also comply with BS 3535. See Appendix A17(c). Socket-outlets for normal use must be positioned at a standard height of 300 mm or 450 mm above floor level or 100 mm above work surfaces, see Appendix A16. Socket-outlets in kitchens or other areas where water is used must be positioned at least 1.0 m away from sources of water (e.g. sinks, basins, filter units, supply taps). Consideration must be given to the use of splash proof socket-outlets (IP 54).

7.1.14 Outdoor socket-outlets must be of the weather protected type (IP55) and incorporate a 30 mA RCD, see Guidance Note G7(c).

[Note: where a number of socket outlets are installed in close proximity, the above requirement may be met by one RCD device serving the group of outlets, provided that the RCD device is readily accessible and visible to persons using the socket-outlets and is clearly labelled.]
7.3.2 The rating of lighting Circuits shall be selected in accordance with the number of connection points to be supplied, the type and rating of luminaires to be used, and the Connected Load for the Circuit. A standard method of calculating Connected Load is given in Guidance Note G2 and illustrated in Appendix A20(f). Where conduit is buried installed within a wall, floor or ceiling it must be installed at a minimum depth of 50 mm from the surface. If it is installed at a shallower depth then metal conduit must be used. See Guidance Note G7(e).

note added for groups of outdoor socket outlets protected by one RCD

amended to meet sizing according to Connected Load

7.4.6

[Note: for solid walls, the above required depth may be reduced to 25 mm for horizontal and vertical lengths of conduit which are within 4 m of a visible Accessory or connection point.]
7.5.10 The maximum voltage drop from the Customer Connection Point to the remote end of any Final Circuit must not exceed 4%

note added to relax depth requirement for buried conduits near Accessories

[Note: for cases where the Distribution Company's HV/LV transformer is sited within the Premises the maximum voltage drop shall be 6% from the LV connection of the transformer to the remote end of any Final Circuit.]
7.5.12 Other than as allowed under clause 7.5.15, all cables that are not armoured, or that do not have a metallic sheath or screen, must be

[Note: Aluminium metal casings should be used in preference to steel due to the risk of corrosion and high resistance joints. In either case the sizing of such conductors must meet the values equivalent to copper conductors given in Appendix A5(j).]
7.7.7 The current rating of busways, bus ducts and busbar risers shall be based on the Connected Load Diversified Load of the relevant part of the Installation being supplied. However, additional diversity factors may be applied for high-rise buildings or other large installations rather than taking the sum of Connected Loads. Diversity factors must be justified and submitted with the design for approval by the Distribution Company, see Regulation 3.2 and Guidance Note G2. Distribution Boards must be of robust construction, capable of withstanding expected electrical, thermal, and environmental stresses in normal service and during faults.

amended based on new definition of Diversified Load

7.8.6 All Final Distribution Boards must have at least two busbar sections, be arranged so as to provide for at least two zones of Earth Leakage Protection (e.g. 100mA and 30mA) and to avoid complete disconnection of power to the area being served, in the event of an earth fault. This may be achieved by either of the following methods: (a) two or more busbar sections, each protected by an RCD; (b) one busbar section, with individual RCBOs fitted on all Final Circuits; (c) two or more FDBs installed together to serve an area, each having one busbar section protected by an RCD of appropriate rating (e.g. one DB with an incomer 100mA RCD for lighting and another DB with incomer 30mA RCD for power circuits)

clarification and note to explain the requirement for two busbar section DBs and alternative arrangements

[Note: solid busbar or removable ('comb') busbar DB's are acceptable (horizontal or vertical type) where the manufacturer's type tests are provided. As an exception, small DBs serving a limited area (up to 9 ways single phase or 3 ways 3-phase) may be provided with one busbar section, and one incomer RCD, e.g. hotel rooms, pump room, central a/c room, etc.]
7.8.13 All outgoing circuits of Distribution Boards must be provided with only circuit-breakers (such as CBs, MCBs, MCCBs, RCDs, RCBOs, etc) and shall not contain fuses of any kind, except for capacitor banks. See Regulation 10.2.
clarification

[Note: the incoming device of a DB may be an isolator switch, where adequate fault protection is provided by an upstream Protective Device.]
7.8.8 The number of Final Distribution Boards and Sub Distribution Boards provided in a Premises shall take into account the future accessibility, maintainability and safety of the

Note 1: cable ratings are taken from Appendix A7(a), assuming one circuit in conduit, with temperature correction factors applied from Appendix A7(g). Power factor of 0.85 is assumed to calculate kW ratings at 230V. Note 2: selection of MCBs for overload protection of cables must take account of the device characteristics given in Appendix A6(b) to A6(d). These are based on minimum MCB operating currents of 1.45 times the MCB nominal rating (In) and a maximum 'non-tripping' current of 1.15 times In. Hence, cables must be selected with ratings at least 1.15 times the MCB nominal rating (see IEE Guidance Note 6 - section 2).

Estimation of connected load and Diversified Load (see amended table over leaf)
revised values of Connected Load

Note 1: the Connected Load values above are based on typical Appliances and connection points. Diversity factors should be applied to calculated the Diversified Load, see Appendix A20(f). Note 2: the Connected Load (and cable rating) for Circuits supplying socket-outlets should be based on 3,000 W for the first socket-outlet, plus 200 W for the remainder, where a double socket outlet is counted as 2 (e.g. circuit rating for 5 x double socket-outlets = 3kW + 9 x 0.2kW = 4.8kW). A diversity factor of between 30% - 60% should be applied to this value to derive the Diversified Load. Note 3: where more than one diversity factor is shown above the designer should select a value representing the intensity of usage (e.g. higher value for high usage Circuits, such as kitchens, and lower value for bedrooms etc). Note 4: additional diversity factors should be applied at Sub Distribution Boards and Main Distribution Boards, typically 0.9. Hence, the expected demand at the Supply Intake may be 0.81 times the sum of the FDB Diversified Load values. Note 5: a 90% diversity factor may be applied for split or window type air conditioning units; diversity factors for central a/c units should be based on manufacturers data or load readings taken from other similar installations (during summer temperature conditions) Note 6: for domestic Premises the total Diversified Load would normally be expected to be in the range of 40% - 60% of the total Connected Load. These values may be checked against the expected electricity usage for similar domestic Premises (typically 30 - 80 W / sq m Diversified Load, including air conditioning) Note 7: for non-domestic Premises an assessment of diversity factors must be made by a qualified designer or engineer with knowledge of the

proposed usage of the Installation. For example, machinery operating in short duration cycles (a few minutes) may have a diversity factor of 20%, whilst continuously operating plant would have a diversity factor of 100%. For commercial offices, calculations of Diversified Load may be compared against other similar Premises, based on the floor area (e.g. 80 - 120 W / sq m for high density offices).
