1. Purpose
The nature of STFC operations involves the widespread and pervasive use of electricity from low voltage electrical systems found in offices and workshops through to high voltage distribution systems and high voltage scientific equipment.
Electricity (and stored electrical energy) is taken for granted in almost every aspect of our daily lives, but nevertheless has the potential to cause death through electric shock, serious injury through electrical burns; electrical fires (the most common source of fire in the STFC); and damage to equipment and property resulting in lost time and delays to scientific and technical programmes.
Electrical safety is the subject of extensive and detailed legislation and guidance:
- Electricity at Work Regulations, 1989;
- IET Wiring Regulation, latest edition.
- Electricity Safety, Quality and Continuity Regulations, 2002;
- Provision and User of Work Equipment Regulation (PUWER), 1998;
- Equipment and Protective Systems Intended for Use in Potentially Explosive Atmospheres Regulations, 1996;
- Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations, 1992; and
- Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations, 1994.
This code outlines STFC policy with respect to the management of electrical safety hazards and the arrangements for complying with the legislation listed above. It sets out the electrical safety rules and procedures throughout STFC Practical implementation of this code may also result in detailed local rules or procedures.
2. Scope
This code applies to all staff, tenants, visitors, facility users and contractors at all STFC sites.
Compliance with this code is mandatory when performing the following functions: specification, design, fabrication, procurement, installation, testing, working on or near, commissioning, operation, modification, maintenance / repair, inspection, and decommissioning of Electrical and Electronic Equipment at all STFC sites.
This code applies where STFC staff undertake electrical work at other sites unless the host site’s arrangements provide equivalent or improved electrical safety control.
This Code applies to Electrical and Electronic Equipment that is permanently connected to an electricity distribution system or forms part of an electrical installation. Not electrical equipment connected by a plug / socket.
This code specifically excludes:
Due to the pervasive nature of electrical safety hazards there are a large number of related STFC SHE codes and policies, including:
3. Definitions
See section 5 for definitions of other items.
3.1. Distribution Electrical Equipment
Distribution Electrical Equipment - the Site Distribution System from point of entry to the Site to the agreed single points of demarcation for experimental electrical equipment. Including all high voltage switchgear, step down transformers, ring main units, conductors and all other related electrical equipment used to receive high voltage electricity and to re-distribute it at lower voltages.
3.2. Experimental Electrical Equipment
Experimental Electrical Equipment - electrical systems directly associated with experimental rigs and facilities requiring additional specialist safety procedures. These systems must have an agreed single point of isolation from the Site Distribution Electrical System.
3.3. Portable Electrical Equipment
Portable Electrical Equipment - Portable equipment is not part of a permanent (fixed) installation but when used is connected to a fixed installation (or a generator), by means of a flexible cable, plug and socket. It includes equipment that is hand held or hand operated while connected to the supply. It also includes extension leads that supply portable equipment and are not part of the fixed installation. See SHE Code 17 Portable Electrical Equipment.
3.4. Point of Demarcation
Point of Demarcation – this is normally a switch or circuit breaker on an Electrical Distribution System that has been agreed by the relevant Electrical Authorising Engineers as the point of demarcation between the two areas of responsibility. This would normally be identified on a single line diagram as the single point of demarcation.
3.5. Voltage
Voltage - The following ranges of voltage are defined for non-conductive environments:
- High Voltage: A potential normally exceeding Low Voltage;
- Low Voltage: A potential normally exceeding Extra-Low Voltage but not exceeding 1000 volts ac or 1500 volts dc between conductors, or 600 volts ac or 900 volts dc between a conductor and earth; and
- Extra-Low Voltage: A potential normally not exceeding 50 volts ac, or 120 volts dc, between conductors or between conductor and earth.
The RMS ripple on the dc supply is not to exceed 10% of the nominal dc.
High voltage is regarded internationally as being in excess of 1000 volts ac. However in some UK systems the term `high voltage` is used where the voltage exceeds 650 volts.
Voltages in the Extra-Low Voltage range may still present a considerable hazard and when work is carried out on equipment operating in this voltage range a risk assessment should be carried out.
Particular precautions should be employed on equipment, which exceeds 5 Joules of stored energy and is able to exceed 5mA output current on short circuit.
3.6. Electrical Live Working
Work on or near conductors which are accessible and which are live or charged. Working on or near live low voltage equipment or near HV equipment in a HV enclosure is to be avoided whenever possible. Exceptionally, live working is permitted by an Electrical Authorised or Nominated Person where a Sanction to Work on or near Live Equipment (see section B11) or Local Rules specific to the equipment to be worked on, have been approved by the Electrical Authorising Engineer. All live work must have a risk assessment and method statement specifically written for the activity.
3.7. Electrical and Electronic Equipment (abbr. Equipment)
Electrical and Electronic Equipment - Anything used, intended to be used or installed for use, to generate, provide, transmit, transform, absorb, rectify, convert, conduct, distribute, control, store, measure or use electrical energy.
3.8. Electrical System
Electrical system - All electrical equipment and connected test equipment that is or may readily be connected electrically to a common source of electrical energy. A system encompasses all the constituent parts e.g. conductors, insulation, protective conductors, insulators and electrical equipment in it, and not simply the functional circuit.
Notes:
- Equipment which may readily be made live by a system is considered part of that system. For example, a lighting circuit disconnected from its source of electrical energy by means of removable links or fuses is still part of that system and so is a circuit which has been switched off even though the switch might be a double pole switch.
- A common source of electrical energy includes systems fed by several generators or transformers.
- In the case of transformers where energy is transmitted over galvanic separation between transformer windings, even though they are not connected electrically, the transformer and all its windings are part of the same system.
- Electrical circuits or equipment whose singular source of supply is batteries are not part of the system (such as test equipment, unless it is connected to the system)
3.9.

5. Technical Definitions
CAT Rating: Overvoltage installation categories have standards from I to IV. The division of a power distribution system into categories is based on the fact that a dangerous high-energy transient such as a lightning strike will be attenuated or dampened as it travels through the impedance of the system. A higher CAT number refers to an electrical environment with higher power available and higher energy transients. Thus, a multimeter designed to a CAT III standard is resistant to much higher energy transients than one designed to CAT II standards. Many test instruments such as oscilloscopes, multimeters, and component testers often have labels near or next to their inputs that indicate CAT rating.
Charged: A piece of Equipment or a conductor that has acquired a voltage charge either because it is live or has been live, or because it has become charged by other means such as static or induction charging or has retained or regained a charge due to capacitance effects, even though it may be disconnected from the rest of the system.
Competent Person: a person judged by an Electrical Authorised Person as competent to receive a Permit or Sanction (usually a Electrical Nominated Person) or an Authority for Access for works in Switch Rooms and Substations for minor electrical work or work that involves other trades. Competent Persons shall have:
- an understanding of the work they are to perform;
- an understanding of electricity and its potential to harm;
- an understanding of the electrical hazards which may arise during the work and the precautions which need to be taken;
- the ability to recognise at all times whether it is safe for work to continue;
- the ability to recognise their own limitations.
Contractor: any external organisation or other body employed by STFC to carry out specific duties on or within STFC property.
Dead: At or about zero voltage and disconnected from any live or charged system.
Disconnection: The complete isolation, electrically and physically (by the total removal of cables or bus-bars from any live or potentially live apparatus), such that the circuit or system is not reliant on locks or the removal of fuses to prevent it being re-energised, and thus removing all hazards from the circuit, system, or apparatus. Removal of tails from a fuse-way and leaving them taped up in the fuse board would not be deemed a Disconnection.
Earthed: Connected to the general mass of earth in such a manner as to ensure at all times an immediate discharge of electrical energy without risk or, as appropriate, injury.
Electrical Installation (abbr. Installation): An assembly of associated Electrical Equipment to fulfil a specific purpose, which forms part of a system.
Hazardous Area: Any location in which there is a risk to health. The risk may be due to any hazard, such as storage areas, laboratories and facilities containing dangerous substances, explosive atmospheres, poisonous substances, electromagnetic radiation, ionising radiation, or strong magnetic fields. Locations of work should also be considered such as confined space or working at height.
High Voltage Enclosure: A location within which a live High Voltage conductor is or may be exposed without the use of a tool or key.
Interlock: A means to prevent switching operations or access that might cause injury, such as paralleling of supplies, or entering enclosures without the supply being isolated.
International Protection (IP): A specification for degrees of protection provided by enclosures, for example IP2X defines an enclosure providing protection against ingress of foreign objects with a diameter of 12.5 mm, and from a finger being inserted and accessing hazardous parts: the X means there is no protection against ingress of water specified.
Isolate: Disconnect and separate Electrical and Electronic Equipment from the normal source(s) of electrical energy in such a way that the disconnection and separation is secure.
Live: Any apparatus or conductors that are at a voltage by being connected to a source of electricity.
Mimic Diagram: A single line diagram of an electrical distribution system so constructed that the symbol for each item of switchgear may be adjusted to indicate the ON, the OFF, or the EARTHED position. The symbol for each item of Equipment shall use the appropriate colour identification of voltages to BS EN 60617.
Protective Conductor (PE): (BS 7671:2008) A conductor used for some measures of protection against electric shock and intended for connecting together any of the following parts:
- exposed-conductive-parts;
- extraneous-conductive –parts;
- the main earthing terminal;
- earth electrode(s);
- the earthed point of the source, or an artificial neutral.
Prove Dead: Demonstrate with the use of suitable and sufficient Test Equipment that no electrical potential liable to cause injury is present.
Proving Unit: see Test Supply.
Removable Temporary Earth: This is an earth, which may be removed for the duration of a test. The Electrical Authorised Person lists these on the Sanction to Test, when a Sanction to Test is required.
Substation: Any premises or part of premises in which electrical energy is transformed or converted to or from high voltage, or which contains high voltage switchgear.
Switchboard: High or low voltage switchgear assembled into a single panel or frame.
Switch Cupboard: A room containing distribution boards and other electrical apparatus, but not Distribution Switchgear. An Authority for Access would not normally be required. In exceptional instances where an area classed as a Switch Cupboard may be a shared area, such as those used by cleaners, it may be advantageous to change the reference to show the different level of access control.
Switchgear: An assembly of main and auxiliary electrical equipment for operation, regulation, protection, or other control of an electrical Installation.
Switch Room: A room other than a Substation containing distribution Switchgear. Unless authorised to do so, an Authority for Access would normally be required to enter.
Temporary Earth: A connection to earth made before working on or testing equipment to ensure as far as is practicable that the equipment does not become electrically charged, secured where practicable by a Safety Lock. On completion of a Permit to Work or Sanction to Test these earths are removed by the Electrical Authorised Person.
Test Equipment: Equipment to undertake particular tests that is suitable and sufficient for the use for which it is provided, that is maintained in a condition suitable for that use, and that is properly used (see CAT rating definition).
Test Indicator / Potential Indicator: Test Equipment for proving dead and confirming dead in connection with this SHE Code.
Test Supply (or Proving Unit): Test Equipment for proving the function of a voltage Test Indicator or a Potential Indicator for live voltage and phasing Test Equipment or a current Test Indicator.
