Powercor standard drawings & connection standards
Powercor is the electricity distributor for western Victoria and Melbourne's western suburbs. If you're doing connection, metering or supply work on its network, Powercor'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.
Contractor access
Technical standards (contractor portal) ↗Powercor's technical standards and work-practice drawings need the gated contractor portal; the public installation rules are the VESI/VSIR.
What these cover
On Powercor's network across western Victoria and Melbourne's western suburbs, 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. Powercor 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 Victoria's installation rules (administered by Building and Plumbing Commission (Victoria)), and they're revised periodically — always work from Powercor's current published version, not a saved copy.
