Electrical Periodic Reports

Periodic reports are necessary because all electrical installations deteriorate over a time by wear, corrosion, overloading, age and enviromental influences.Consequently: legislation requires that electrical installations are maintained in a safe condition and therfore must be periodically inspected and tested. also periodic inspection and testing should be considered to assess compliance with BS 7671 Electrical regulations, a change of occupancy of the premises or a change of use of the premises. Note: The above is an excerpt from Guidance note 3: Inspection & Testing by the institution of Engineering and Technology. The condition of an installation is assessed by isolating and testing circuits, with the results logged onto a report. We offer full periodic inspection services to domestic and commercial premises. The Guidance note 3 also makes note that due to the size and complexity of an installation in a larger building, isolation becomes more difficult particularly where continuation of supply is important such as in hospitals, banks etc In order to confirm the continuing suitability of use of such installations they must be subjected to planned preventive maintenance or regular periodic assessment of their condition. With themal imaging it is possible to carry out a thorough visual inspection of such installations without subjecting the inspector or others in the building to any danger and such an inspection may identify many common defects caused by use/abuse.

Portable Appliance Testing (PAT Testing)

Pat testing or portable appliance testing is an important part of any health & safety policy. The Health & Safety Executive states that 25% of all reportable electrical accidents involve portable appliances. The Electricity at Work Regulations place a legal responsibility on employers, employees and self-employed persons to comply with the provisions of the regulations and take reasonably practicable steps to ensure that no danger results from the use of such equipment. This in effect requires the implementation of a systematic and regular program of maintenance, inspection and testing. The Health & Safety at Work Act (1974) places such an obligation in the following circumstances: 1. Where appliances are used by employees. 2. Where the public may use appliances in establishments such as hospitals, schools, hotels, shops etc. 3. Where appliances are supplied or hired. 4. Where appliances are repaired or serviced. The level of inspection and testing required is dependant upon the risk of the appliance becoming faulty, which is in turn dependant upon the type of appliance, the nature of its use and the environment in which it is used. The Institution of Electrical Engineers publish the "Code of Practice for In-service Inspection and Testing of Electrical Equipment" (ISBN: 978-0-86341-833-4) . This guide forms the basis for portable appliance testing in the U.K. Our sevices fully comply with the code of practise. We provide detailed reports with measured test results.

Electrical Surveys

Electrical Surveys, Preventive Maintenance, Building Thermal Surveys, Mechanical Surveys,
Some defects in electrical equipment cannot be discovered by a visual inspection.For example, incorrectly tightened connections can cause a high resistance which can then cause a high temperature to occur, which may subsequently present a risk of fire. Phase imbalance on a 3 phase supply, Heavily loaded circuits, faults in underfloor heating etc, these are some examples of what can be identified using our services.

Mechanical faults such as found in overheated motors, bearing wear can often be rectified before loss of production occurs.

Identified early on as part of a preventive maintenance programme, mechanical, and electrical thermal surveys can highlight problems before they turn into costly unscheduled shutdowns.
By using Keep It Safe Thermal imaging in carring out preventive maintenance, a report will be issued so that maintenance can then be scheduled for a convenient time to rectify the problems found, resulting in saved time and money.
