AS/NZS 3001:2008
Electrical Installations - Transportable structures and vehicles including their site supplies
Sets out the requirements for electrical installations associated with transportable structures and vehicles that are intended for connection to low-voltage a.c. supply systems (i.e. exceeding 50 V a.c. but not exceeding 1 000 V a.c.). For the purposes of this Standard the term ‘transportable structure’ includes both vehicles and structures with or without wheels that can readily be moved from one site to another either under their own motive power or by some other means.
