(i) High Voltage Equipments installations-

(a) High Voltage equipments shall have the IR value as stipulated in the
relevant Indian Standard.
(b) At a pressure of 1000 V applied between each live conductor and earth for
a period of one minute the insulation resistance of HV installations shall be at least
1 Mega ohm or as specified by the 1[Bureau of Indian Standards] from time to
time.
(ii) Medium and Low Voltage Installations- At a pressure of 500 V applied
between each live conductor and earth for a period of one minute, the insulation
resistance of medium and low voltage installations shall be at least 1 Mega ohm or
as specified by the
 transformers of capacity 5000 KVA and above a circuit breaker shall be provided:
Provided further that the provision of linked switch on the primary side of the
 transformer shall not apply to the unit auxiliary transformer of the generator.
(ii) On the secondary side of transformers of capacity 100 KVA and above
transforming HV to MV or LV, a linked switch with fuse(s) or circuit breaker of
adequate capacity capable of carrying and breaking full load current and for
transformers transforming HV to EHV as the case may be, a circuit breaker:
Provided that where the transformer capacity exceeds 630 KVA a circuit breaker
of adequate capacity shall be installed on the secondary side;

(c) Gas pressure type protection to given alarm and tripping shall be provided
on all transformers of ratings 1000 KVA and above;
(d) Transformers of capacity 10 MVA and above shall be protected against
incipient faults by differential protection; and
(e) All generators with rating of 100 KVA and above shall be protected against
earth fault/leakage. All generators of rating 1000KVA and above shall be
protected against faults within the generator winding using restricted earth fault
protection or differential protection or by both.]
