sec.222 Circumstances for replacing electrical equipment with similar electrical equipment

For section 221 (2) (b) (i) , the circumstances are— if the electrical equipment being replaced consumes electricity—the replacement equipment— has the same voltage rating as the equipment being replaced; and has a current rating that is not greater than the current rating of the equipment being replaced; and has a power rating that is not greater than the power rating of the equipment being replaced; and performs its function in the same way as the equipment being replaced; and has electrical characteristics that are the same as or better than the electrical characteristics of the equipment being replaced, including when the equipment is operating in circumstances other than normal circumstances; and ingress protection rating, insulation, earthing, operating temperature is designed to operate at the same frequency range as the equipment being replaced; or if the electrical equipment being replaced is used for controlling electricity—the replacement electrical equipment— has the same voltage rating as the equipment being replaced; and has the same current rating as the equipment being replaced; and performs its function in the same way as the equipment being replaced; and has electrical characteristics that are the same as or better than the electrical characteristics of the equipment being replaced, including when the equipment is operating in circumstances other than normal circumstances; and ingress protection rating, insulation, earthing, operating temperature, breaking current rating is designed to operate at the same frequency range as the equipment being replaced. In this section— current rating , for electrical equipment, means the current stated on the equipment as the current the equipment consumes or controls when operating in normal circumstances. frequency range , for electrical equipment, means the frequency or range of frequencies stated on the equipment as the frequency or range of frequencies the equipment is designed to safely operate at in normal circumstances. power rating , for electrical equipment, means the power stated on the equipment as the power the equipment consumes when operating in normal circumstances. voltage rating , for electrical equipment, means— if the electrical equipment consumes electricity—the maximum voltage the electrical equipment is designed to be supplied with to operate in normal circumstances; or if the electrical equipment is used for controlling electricity—the voltage the electrical equipment can safely control in normal circumstances. (sec.222-ssec.1) For section 221 (2) (b) (i) , the circumstances are— if the electrical equipment being replaced consumes electricity—the replacement equipment— has the same voltage rating as the equipment being replaced; and has a current rating that is not greater than the current rating of the equipment being replaced; and has a power rating that is not greater than the power rating of the equipment being replaced; and performs its function in the same way as the equipment being replaced; and has electrical characteristics that are the same as or better than the electrical characteristics of the equipment being replaced, including when the equipment is operating in circumstances other than normal circumstances; and ingress protection rating, insulation, earthing, operating temperature is designed to operate at the same frequency range as the equipment being replaced; or if the electrical equipment being replaced is used for controlling electricity—the replacement electrical equipment— has the same voltage rating as the equipment being replaced; and has the same current rating as the equipment being replaced; and performs its function in the same way as the equipment being replaced; and has electrical characteristics that are the same as or better than the electrical characteristics of the equipment being replaced, including when the equipment is operating in circumstances other than normal circumstances; and ingress protection rating, insulation, earthing, operating temperature, breaking current rating is designed to operate at the same frequency range as the equipment being replaced. (sec.222-ssec.2) In this section— current rating , for electrical equipment, means the current stated on the equipment as the current the equipment consumes or controls when operating in normal circumstances. frequency range , for electrical equipment, means the frequency or range of frequencies stated on the equipment as the frequency or range of frequencies the equipment is designed to safely operate at in normal circumstances. power rating , for electrical equipment, means the power stated on the equipment as the power the equipment consumes when operating in normal circumstances. voltage rating , for electrical equipment, means— if the electrical equipment consumes electricity—the maximum voltage the electrical equipment is designed to be supplied with to operate in normal circumstances; or if the electrical equipment is used for controlling electricity—the voltage the electrical equipment can safely control in normal circumstances.
