sec.28 Protection for transportable and mobile equipment

This section applies if transportable or mobile equipment used at a mine is supplied with electricity exceeding extra low voltage by a trailing or reeling cable, other than a low voltage cable that has— no joining plugs or sockets; and earth leakage protection with a rated tripping current of not more than 30mA; and individually screened power conductors. The site senior executive for the mine must ensure the equipment has earth continuity protection to— isolate the electricity supply to the equipment immediately after the earthing circuit is broken or the cable is disconnected or decoupled; and prevent a person inadvertently contacting live parts of the equipment. s 28 amd 2019 SL No. 140 s 21 sch 1 (sec.28-ssec.1) This section applies if transportable or mobile equipment used at a mine is supplied with electricity exceeding extra low voltage by a trailing or reeling cable, other than a low voltage cable that has— no joining plugs or sockets; and earth leakage protection with a rated tripping current of not more than 30mA; and individually screened power conductors.
