Carry out modifications or rewire electrical circuits
on Automation systems
Overview
This standard is about modifying or rewiring electrical circuits and equipment
on Automation systems, in accordance with approved procedures. This may
involve modifying or rewiring electrical circuits on equipment such as control
systems, motors and starters, switchgear and distribution panels, electrical
plant and other specific electrical equipment.
