Western Power standard drawings & connection standards
Western Power is the electricity distributor for Perth and the South-West of WA (the SWIS). If you're doing connection, metering or supply work on its network, Western Power'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 Western Power's network across Perth and the South-West of WA (the SWIS), 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. Western Power publishes these openly, so you can reach the current drawings without an account. They sit alongside the wiring rules (AS/NZS 3000) and Western Australia's installation rules (administered by Building and Energy (WA)), and they're revised periodically — always work from Western Power's current published version, not a saved copy.
