sec.26A Circumstances for replacing similar appliance— Act , s 19

For section 19 (1) (b) of the Act , the following circumstances are prescribed— the similar appliance has— a voltage rating that is the same as the voltage rating of the appliance included in the electrical installation (the old appliance ); and a current rating that is not greater than the current rating of the old appliance; and a power rating that is not greater than the power rating of the old appliance; and the same way of performing the function as the old appliance; and electrical characteristics that are the same as or better than the electrical characteristics of the old appliance; ingress protection rating, insulation, earthing, operating temperature the electrical installation is not located in a hazardous area. In this section— current rating , for an appliance, means the current stated on the appliance as the current the appliance will consume when operating under normal circumstances. power rating , for an appliance, means the power stated on the appliance as the power the appliance will consume when operating under normal circumstances. voltage rating , for an appliance, means the voltage stated on the appliance as the voltage the appliance is designed to be supplied with to operate under normal conditions. s 26A ins 2024 Act No. 44 s 33 (sec.26A-ssec.1) For section 19 (1) (b) of the Act , the following circumstances are prescribed— the similar appliance has— a voltage rating that is the same as the voltage rating of the appliance included in the electrical installation (the old appliance ); and a current rating that is not greater than the current rating of the old appliance; and a power rating that is not greater than the power rating of the old appliance; and the same way of performing the function as the old appliance; and electrical characteristics that are the same as or better than the electrical characteristics of the old appliance; ingress protection rating, insulation, earthing, operating temperature the electrical installation is not located in a hazardous area. (sec.26A-ssec.2) In this section— current rating , for an appliance, means the current stated on the appliance as the current the appliance will consume when operating under normal circumstances. power rating , for an appliance, means the power stated on the appliance as the power the appliance will consume when operating under normal circumstances. voltage rating , for an appliance, means the voltage stated on the appliance as the voltage the appliance is designed to be supplied with to operate under normal conditions.

• (a) the similar appliance has— (i) a voltage rating that is the same as the voltage rating of the appliance included in the electrical installation (the old appliance ); and (ii) a current rating that is not greater than the current rating of the old appliance; and (iii) a power rating that is not greater than the power rating of the old appliance; and (iv) the same way of performing the function as the old appliance; and (v) electrical characteristics that are the same as or better than the electrical characteristics of the old appliance; Examples of electrical characteristics— ingress protection rating, insulation, earthing, operating temperature
