3 phase configuration Solidly earthed or impedance earthed Overhead lines and underground cable are used extensively for high and extra high voltage distribution Low Voltage 400/230V 3 phase 4 wire system Neutral point solidly earthed mixture of overhead lines, underground cables and aerial insulated cables Mixture of overhead lines, underground cables and aerial insulated cables Short Circuit Ratings As a guide, the maximum fault levels for the various voltage systems are as follows. All equipment proposed to be installed and connected to TNB supply must comply with the stated short circuit ratings: System 500 kV 275 kV 132 kV 66 kV 33 kV 22 kV 11 kV 6.6 kV 400/230 V Short circuit rating for 3s 50 kA 40 kA 31.5 kA 20 kA 25 kA 20 kA 20 kA 20 kA 31.5 kA

Act, Regulation a nd Code The electricity supply and installation practice in Peninsular Malaysia are governed by the following: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Electricity Supply Act 1990 - Act 447 Licensee Supply Regulations 1990 Electricity Regulations, 1994 Occupational, Safety & Health Act 1994 Malaysian Standard MS IEC 60364 Electrical Installation of Buildings

Supply Voltage Options Supply may be provided at any of the declared voltages: 275 kV, 132 kV, 33 kV, 22 kV * , 11 kV, 6.6 kV * and 400/ 230 V.
* certain parts of Johor and Perak only

Generally, supplies to domestic premises are given at single phase 2-wire or three phase 4-wire. However, the actual supply voltage provided depends on the magnitude of the individual applicants load requirements: Low Voltage 1. Single-phase, two-wire, 240 V, up to 12 kVA maximum demand 2. Three-phase, four-wire, 415 V, up to 45 kVA maximum demand 3. Three-phase, four-wire, C .T. metered, 400/230 V, up to 1000 kVA maximum demand Medium Voltage & High Voltage
