49. Motors exceeding 3½-horse power must be supplied with current taken from the two outer wires, and a distinct circuit must be run for them. The conductors must have an insulation-resistance of 2,500 megohms per mile. For smaller motors when supplied from one outer and the neutral wire an insulation-resistance of 600 megohms per mile will suffice.

50. The conductors of all motors supplied from the outer wires shall be enclosed in strong metal covering, electrically continuous throughout its entire length, and effectively connected to earth.

51. The insulation-resistance of each motor-circuit, including all devices necessary for the working of the motor, shall be not less than 1 megohm to earth when all metal parts that are required to be connected to earth are so connected.

52. A printed notice shall be fixed in a conspicuous position at every motor and switchboard forbidding unauthorised persons to touch the motors or apparatus, and no alterations shall be made during the time that current is on either pole of that part of any lighting or motor circuit to which alterations may be required.

53. The Corporation shall not connect the wires and fittings on a consumer’s premises with their mains, or, in the case of premises already connected, continue the supply from their mains, unless they are reasonably satisfied that the requirements of this license are complied with, and that the connection or continuance of supply would not cause a leakage from those wires and fittings exceeding one ten-thousandth part of the maximum supply-current to the premises; and where the Corporation decline to make such connection or to continue supply they shall serve upon the consumer a notice stating their reasons for so declining.

54. If the Corporation are reasonably satisfied, after making all proper examination by testing or otherwise, that a leakage exists at some part of a circuit of such extent as to be a source of danger, and that such leakage does not exist at any part of the circuit belonging to the Corporation, then and in such case any officer of the Corporation duly authorised by them in writing, or, if the Corporation so require, on application by them to the Electric Telegraph Commissioner, any officer of the Post and Telegraph Department (hereafter referred to as an “Electric Inspector”) instructed to so act, may, for the purpose of discovering whether the leakage exists at any part of a circuit within or upon any consumer’s premises, by notice require the consumer at some reasonable time after the service of the notice to permit him to inspect and test the wires and fittings belonging to the consumer and forming part of the circuit.

In any case where the Corporation require the services of an Electric Inspector under this section they shall pay the cost of such inspection.

If on such testing the officer or the Electric Inspector discovers a leakage from the consumer’s wires exceeding one ten-thousandth part of the maximum supply-current to the premises, or if the consumer does not give all due facilities for inspection and testing, the Corporation shall forthwith discontinue the supply of energy to the premises in question, giving immediate notice of the discontinuance to the consumer, and shall not recommence the supply until they are reasonably satisfied that the leakage has been removed.

55. If any consumer is dissatisfied with the action of the Corporation in refusing to give, or in discontinuing, or in not recommencing the supply of energy to his premises, the wires and fittings of that consumer may, on his application to the Electric Telegraph Commissioner, and on payment of the cost of such inspection, be tested for the existence of leakage by an Electric Inspector.

This provision shall be indorsed on every notice given under the provisions of either of the two last preceding sections.

56. From and after the time when the Corporation commence to supply energy through any distributing-main they shall maintain, from dusk until midnight throughout the year, and during the winter months also from 6 a.m. until daylight, a constant supply of sufficient power for the use of all the consumers for the time being entitled to be supplied from such main, and may extend from time to time the hours of such supply. For any purposes connected with the efficient working of the undertaking the Electric Telegraph Commissioner may give permission to the Corporation to discontinue the supply, at such intervals of time and for such periods as he may think expedient. When the supply is so discontinued public notice shall be given of such discontinuance, and of the probable duration thereof.

57. The variation of pressure at any consumer’s terminals shall not under any conditions of the supply which the consumer is entitled to receive exceed 4 per cent. from the normal pressure at which he is being supplied.

58. The Electric Telegraph Commissioner may at any time order an inspection to be made of the works, lines, and wires of the Corporation used for electric-lighting purposes. When a defect or defects are found to exist they must be remedied forthwith; and, should they be serious in the opinion of the officer or person inspecting, the Electric Telegraph Commissioner may, on receipt of the report, direct the Corporation to at once cease transmitting energy either over the whole of the Corporation’s lines and wires, or over any part thereof that to him may seem fit, until such defect or defects are repaired or remedied. The cost of such inspection shall be borne by the Corporation.

59. If the Corporation make default in complying with any of the provisions of this license they shall be liable to a penalty not exceeding £20 for every such default.

The recovery of a penalty under this license shall not affect the liability (if any) of the Corporation to make compensation in respect of any damage or injury which may be caused by reason of the default.

And I do hereby declare that this license shall come into force on and after the date of publication thereof in the New Zealand Gazette.

As witness my hand, this sixth day of August, 1903.

J. G. WARD,
Electric Telegraph Commissioner.
