Ausgrid standard drawings & connection standards
Ausgrid is the electricity distributor for Sydney, the Central Coast and the Hunter. If you're doing connection, metering or supply work on its network, Ausgrid's standard drawings and network technical standards are the rules that apply on the network side of the meter. Here's where to find the official documents — we link to them, we don't host them.

What these cover
On Ausgrid's network across Sydney, the Central Coast and the Hunter, the standard drawings and network standards set out how the connection between the network and an installation must be built — service and point-of-attachment arrangements, metering and CT positions, underground and overhead service rules, pillar and pit details, and clearances. Ausgrid keeps the full set on a contractor portal, so you may need to register to reach every drawing. They sit alongside the wiring rules (AS/NZS 3000) and New South Wales's installation rules (administered by Building Commission NSW), and they're revised periodically — always work from Ausgrid's current published version, not a saved copy.
