AS/NZS 3008/3000

Overview

Australian/New Zealand Standard 3008 based "electrical installations and selection of cables" is listed as "AS 3008" and "NZS 3008". AS 3008 is for Part 1.1: Cables of alternating voltages up to and including 0.6/1 kV - Typical Australian installation conditions. NZS 3008 is for Part1.2: Cables of alternating voltages up to and including 0.6/1 kV - Typical New Zealand conditions.

ETAP AS/NZS 3008/3000 Cable Sizing & Shock Protection provides a comprehensive and accurate module in compliance with the latest AS/NZS 3008/3000 standard for design and sizing of low voltage cables. ETAP Cable Sizing software suite offers powerful features to save time and improve accuracy for cable calculation and electrical design of phase, neutral and earth conductors.
