Indian regulations.
• Indian Electricity Act-1910.
• Indian Electricity (Supply)
Act- 1948.
• Indian Electricity Regulatory
Commission Act-1998.
• The Electricity Act –2003.
Repealed
under section
185 of
Electricity act
-2003
• Indian Electricity Rules- 1956.
2
Objectives of regulations
• Make generation, transmission, distribution
and utilization of electricity as safe as
possible.
• Identification of different categories of
agencies.
• Remove ambiguities from existing
qualitative guidelines and pronounce precise
quantitative technical requirement with
respect to safety.
3
Categories of agencies
•
•
•
•
•
Supplier of electricity.
Consumer of electricity.
Electrical inspector.
Electrical contractor and supervisors.
Authorized persons.

Hazards of electricity
• Electric shock:- Current flows through body or part of body
when two surfaces having electrical potential difference is
touched resulting in burn, disability or even death.
• Flashover:-Sudden collapse of electric field by having a
conducting path between two electrical potential different
surfaces resulting in burn, fire.
• Blast:-Failure of dielectric medium between two electrical
potential different surfaces resulting in projectile, mechanical
force, fire or burn.
• Heat:-Caused by loose connection in the circuit, overheating of
insulation/ conductor due to overload or prolonged short circuit
current etc. resulting in fire, burn.

Conclusion
• Regulations can induce more concern.
• Regulations can not rule out accidents by themselves
• Every concerned individuals should handle electricity in
safe manner
• Do not try to find out loopholes of regulation to limit our
responsibility.
• Try to adopt a proactive approach by understanding the
intentions of the regulation authors.
• In case of doubt ask electrical inspector or Central
Electricity Authority.
