This rule ensures basic electrical safety protections are functional."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/ad-p68-5-circuit-breaker-installation-inspection","history":"/api/acts/ad-p68-5-circuit-breaker-installation-inspection/history","analysis":"/api/acts/ad-p68-5-circuit-breaker-installation-inspection/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/ad-p68-5-circuit-breaker-installation-inspection/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/ad-p68-5-circuit-breaker-installation-inspection/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/ad-p68-5-circuit-breaker-installation-inspection/documents"}}
