# Useful Electrical Engineering Links

Source: https://scaleset.com.au/useful-links

Browse useful external links used in everyday electrical engineering design and planning workflows.

## Key facts

- Standards Australia publishes AS/NZS 3000 and AS/NZS 3008.1.1; the current edition is the one that governs, and it is not free to access.
- The National Construction Code (NCC) is published by the Australian Building Codes Board and is free to view after registration; Part E4 covers emergency lighting.
- Electrical safety regulation and licensing are state and territory matters, so the regulator that applies depends on where the installation is.
- Connection rules, export limits and metering requirements come from the local distribution network service provider (DNSP), not from AS/NZS 3000.
- Cable and conduit dimensional data should come from the manufacturer catalogue for the product actually being installed, since outer diameters vary between makers at the same conductor size.

## Who this page is for
