What Is an Electrical Protection System?
An electrical protection system consists of devices designed to protect electrical installations, equipment, and users from electrical hazards such as overcurrent, short circuits, earth leakage, and voltage surges.
To ensure safety and reliability, certain electrical protection systems in Indonesia must comply with Indonesian National Standards (SNI).
Importance of SNI Certification for Electrical Protection Systems
The SNI certification process for electrical protection systems is essential to ensure that products meet national safety and technical requirements. Non-compliant protection systems may result in equipment failure, fire hazards, and electrical accidents.
SNI certification ensures that electrical protection systems are tested, reliable, and legally compliant.
Regulatory Framework
Mandatory SNI certification for electrical protection systems is regulated under Indonesian electricity and industrial standardization regulations. Both locally manufactured and imported products must comply with applicable SNI requirements before being marketed in Indonesia.
Electrical Protection Systems Commonly Covered by SNI
Electrical protection products commonly subject to SNI include:
-
Miniature Circuit Breakers (MCB)
-
Molded Case Circuit Breakers (MCCB)
-
Earth Leakage Circuit Breakers (ELCB/RCD)
-
Surge Protection Devices (SPD)
-
Electrical fuses and safety devices
SNI Certification Process
The SNI certification process generally includes:
-
Identification of applicable SNI standards
-
