What is AS/NZS 5761?

​

AS/NZS 5761 is an essential standard for electrical safety in Australia and New Zealand, focusing on the testing and compliance of electrical installations. This standard ensures that electrical systems—whether new or secondhand—meet safety requirements to prevent electrical hazards. Key elements of AS/NZS 5761 include:

​

  • Insulation Resistance Testing: Verifies that the insulation of electrical systems is effective in preventing electrical faults.

  • Earth Continuity Testing: Ensures the earth connection is reliable and can safely handle fault currents.

  • Polarity Testing: Confirms that electrical connections are correctly polarized for safe and proper operation.
