AS 3132-1991

Specifies essential safety requirements, for enclosures of insulating material for switchgear and controlgear, for approval and test purposes. It is intended to be read in conjunction with AS 3100 and applies to insulating material with a voltage rating of less than or equal to 1000 volt a.c., or, less than or equal to 1500 volt d.c. on which live parts may be mounted, or which is intended to enclose switchgear and controlgear assemblies, or associated with manufactured switchgear assemblies having a rating of less than 100 A per phase and less than 10 kA fault withstand capacity.

The Specification details requirements for enclosures of insulating material with a voltage rating of =< 1000 V ac or =< 1500 V dc -(a) on which live parts may be mounted; or(b) which is intended to enclose switchgear and controlgear assemblies having a rating of less than 100 A per phase and less than 10 kA fault withstand capacity; or (c) associated with manufactured switchgear assemblies having a rating of less than 100 A per phase and less than 10 kA fault withstand capacity.This Specification does not apply to equipment (if any) mounted on the enclosure.
