Electrical Survey

At IG Electrical Ltd all inspection and testing is carried out to the standard of the 16th edition of wiring regulations. All testing equipment is calibrated regularly to ensure continuity of readings, in order to ensure that the information passed to clients is accurate and correct. Thermal Imaging is an essential part of any maintenance, allowing reduced downtime due to high resistance joints and possible fire hazards on electric panels and distribution boards. From Busbars to Contractors our equipment is capable of capturing and storing digital images which can then be provided in a detailed report. Logging and recording of your electricity supply working correctly for you is an essential part of any company large or small.

We can record and log your electrical consumption, anywhere from one hour to one month, giving you an exact and detailed account of your incoming supply. We check the balance of your phases and make sure that there are no underlying problems. Perhaps you are considering expanding using new plant and equipment? With our equipment we can accurately calculate your minimum, average and peak consumption over single and three phases and provide a fully detailed report using graph and timed detail format, making the readings very easy to understand. Cable, fuse finding and detailed distribution diagrams are very important from a Health & Safety point of view, ensuring that all staff are protected is a must. We can offer a detailed distribution survey ensuring that every socket, switch and breaker is correctly marked as it should be.

Our state of the art equipment can trace circuits or cables if they are energised or not. In most cases this avoids the need to cut power to equipment and the convenience this may cause.

Electrical Testing - Electricity at Work Act 1989 Electrical Testing - The Requirements Regulation 4(2) of the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 states 'As may be necessary to prevent danger, all systems shall be maintained so as to prevent, so far as is reasonably practical, such danger.'

The guidance to the regulation explains Regulation 4(2) is concerned with the need for maintenance to be done in order to ensure safety of the system rather than the activity of doing the maintenance in a safe manner (which is required by regulation 4(3)).

The obligation to maintain arises only if danger would otherwise result. The quality and frequency of maintenance should be sufficient to prevent danger so far as is reasonably practicable.
