sch.2-sec.17 Electrical wiring, connectors and conductors

The wiring of electrical equipment of a heavy vehicle, other than the high tension ignition wiring, must— be supported at intervals of not more than 600mm, unless the vehicle is a pole-type trailer with a pole with an adjustable length or is an extendible trailer; and be insulated at each of its joints; and be located where it can not— become overheated; or contact moving parts; or come near enough to the fuel system to be a fire hazard; and be protected from chafing. The electrical components of a vehicle must be securely mounted. The electrical connectors between a heavy motor vehicle and trailer, for operation of the vehicle lights required by this Regulation, must comply with at least 1 of the following— AS 2513-1982 Electrical Connectors for Trailer Vehicles AS 2513-1982 ‘Electrical Connectors for Trailer Vehicles’ may be purchased from Standards Australia. International Standards Organisation ISO 1185—1997 Society of Automotive Engineers SAE J 560—1998 AS 4735-2003 Heavy road vehicles—Electrical connectors for articulated vehicles. A heavy trailer must be equipped with an electrical conductor, independent of the trailer coupling fitted to the trailer, that makes a return path between the electrical circuits of the trailer and towing vehicle. In this section— electrical connector means a device intended for making a detachable electrical connection between a motor vehicle and a trailer. high tension ignition wiring , for a vehicle, means wiring designed to transmit electrical currents for the purpose of igniting fuel in the vehicle’s engine. sch 2 s 17 amd 2017 SL No. 113 s 23 (sch.2-sec.17-ssec.1) The wiring of electrical equipment of a heavy vehicle, other than the high tension ignition wiring, must— be supported at intervals of not more than 600mm, unless the vehicle is a pole-type trailer with a pole with an adjustable length or is an extendible trailer; and be insulated at each of its joints; and be located where it can not— become overheated; or contact moving parts; or come near enough to the fuel system to be a fire hazard; and be protected from chafing.
