This standard specifies the requirements for cut‑out assemblies
up to 100 A rating, for power supply to buildings. Each cut‑out
assembly provides a means of terminating service cables, fuse
protection, a neutral facility and/or a means of earthing the supply,
and anti‑tamper protection. Cut‑out assemblies are suitable for use
on single-phase or three-phase low‑voltage public electricity supply
systems with a maximum voltage up to 440 V a.c. and at a frequency
of 50 Hz, the neutral being effectively earthed.
The provisions of the general rules dealt with in BS EN 60947-1:2007 are
applicable to this standard when specifically called for.
