MEASUREMENT OF ELECTRICAL INSTALLATIONS

Measurements of electrical installations play a crucial role in assessing their technical condition in terms of safety and reliability of their operation.

The following objects are subject to inspection of low voltage electrical installations:

residential,
commercial,
public utility,
industrial,
agricultural and garden,
prefabricated buildings,
construction sites,
exhibitions,
trade fairs,
medical facilities.

In addition, measurements and testing of electrical installations should be carried out at makeshift installations, photovoltaic devices, low-voltage generator sets as well as other installations and electrical devices powered by them.

The results of acceptance or periodic tests serve as the basis for making appropriate decisions regarding electrical installations and associated equipment being put into further operation, extending their operational period, performing necessary repairs and maintenance, or even decommissioning them.

Measurements of electrical installations, depending on the timing and scope of the measurements, are divided into acceptance testing and operational (periodic) testing.

Acceptance testing and measurements

Acceptance testing and measurements
Periodic maintenance testing

Electrical installations should be verified before commissioning and after any significant modification. Acceptance testing aims to confirm that the work has been carried out properly in accordance with the requirements of the relevant standards and regulations.

The scope of acceptance testing is usually broader than that of periodic testing and includes performing the following tasks:

verification of documentation,
visual inspection of installations and/or equipment,
testing and measurements of relevant parameters,
functional testing of the device’s and/or system’s operation.

It is recommended that each electrical installation be tested periodically. The purpose of such testing is to determine whether the technical condition of the installation and the electrical devices operating within it has deteriorated to a degree that poses a risk to their continued use..

OPA S.A. Zabrze Company performs testing and measurements of electrical installations in the field of acceptance and periodic testing, covering, among others, such activities as:

visual inspection of protection against direct contact,
electric shock protection measurements,
insulation resistance measurements,
tests and measurements of residual current devices,
continuity measurements of protective conductors,
measurement of grounding resistance,
short circuit loop impedance measurement.

Measurements are carried out by electricians with appropriate qualifications and experience. The measuring equipment is certified and calibrated, with certificates issued by our own calibration laboratory, among others. The combination of relevant qualifications, experience and state-of-the-art measuring equipment ensures that our services maintain the highest quality. All measurements are summarized in a measurement protocol in accordance with applicable standards.

We look forward to working with you.
