INSPECTION & TESTING OF ELECTRICAL INSTALLATIONS – 3 Days
In all organisations where electrical works are regularly carried out, whether at installations phase, or during extension or repair activities, it is of prime importance to ensure that such works are carried out by trained and competent electricians, who should regularly inspect and test the installation’s compliance with prevailing standards.
Records of the results of some 14 specific tests must be kept readily available to attest such compliance.
In this course, we shall provide both the theoretical knowledge as well as practical skills to carry out the testing so that the tests can be carried out in-house by your own electricians.
There is generous use of worked examples, illustrations, calculations, hands-on practice, and self assessment exercises.
