AS3000 & SIRNSW Clause Finder: Look Up NSW Electrical Rules & Network Clauses Free

Australian electrical work is governed by more rule books than most people realise — the AS3000 (AS/NZS 3000) Wiring Rules, the Service and Installation Rules of NSW (SIRNSW), cable sizing in AS/NZS 3008, the solar standards AS 5033 and AS 4777.2, and then a separate set of Electrical Safety Rules for each network operator: Ausgrid, Endeavour Energy and Essential Energy. Finding the one clause that answers your question can mean wading through thousands of pages.

So we built a free AS3000 and SIRNSW clause finder that does it in seconds.

Ask it like you'd ask a sparkie

The AS3000 & SIRNSW Clause Finder lets you type a question in plain English — “can I put a powerpoint near my sink?”, “how deep do power cables need to be buried?”, “how far from powerlines can a crane work?” — and instantly returns the matching rules, each with the real clause number and a plain-English explanation. You can also search by clause number, or by standard name (try “AS3000” or “SIRNSW”), or filter to a single rule book.

Free branded diagrams you can keep

The most-asked rules come with a clear diagram — safe distances from powerlines, bathroom powerpoint zones, cable burial depths, switchboard clearances and more — that you can download free as an image and keep on your phone, share with a mate, or drop into a quote.

Built for electricians and homeowners

Whether you're a Level 2 sparkie confirming an AS3000 or SIRNSW clause number on site or a homeowner checking whether something at your place is compliant, the finder points you to exactly the right part of the right rule book. It's a guide, not a substitute for the standards themselves — for anything you're about to build or sign off, confirm with a licensed electrician.
