Electrical measurements

Conducting regular electrical measurements should become second nature if we care about the safety of building occupants or users of other spaces, such as offices. Periodic inspections of electrical installations can prevent fires or other hazards, ensuring the reliable operation of electrical devices. Such audits should be performed obligatorily every five years, though annual inspections are recommended if there are elements that may be harmful to the installation. The responsibility for arranging these inspections typically falls on the owners and managers of buildings.

During a detailed inspection, an electrician should check, among other things, the voltage in the sockets and use a meter to determine whether the voltage is correct. A proper inspection will also include measuring the insulation resistance of wires, loop impedance, RCD (Residual Current Device) switches, continuity of bonding and protective conductors, and earth resistance. Each measurement should be preceded by a thorough visual inspection of the electrical installation—often, irregularities can already be observed at this stage. A well-conducted inspection will also reveal whether there is an incorrect phase sequence or voltage drop in a given room.

The results of electrical measurements and tests should be meticulously recorded and documented in a report. Such a report will be a valuable resource for building managers, containing all electrical measurements, a detailed list of all types of tests conducted, a record of the equipment used by the electrician, and important recommendations for elements requiring repair or replacement.

In addition to electrical installations, we also provide professional measurement services as described above. We have the equipment to monitor installations and extensive experience as inspectors, and our measurement service is available to our clients in Bydgoszcz and the surrounding areas.
