The following tests are carried out:

1. Visual inspection of fittings
2. Continuity of earth conductors
3. Continuity of ring final conductors
4. Polarity
5. Installation resistance – to check for any arking or moisture between phases – phase earth
6. Earth loop impedance – to verify path of earth
7. RCD test to check tripping times and mA settings

The test involves testing circuits at the consumer unit and various points around the property and includes a visual inspection as well as an instrumental test.

The testers used are:

1. Voltage tester to measure Volts
2. Continuity tester to measure ohms
3. Insulation resistance to measure Mohms
4. Earth loop impendence tester to measure ohms
5. RCD tester to measure mS

Also the supplies characteristics are tested to ensure a good earth and path of fault current is present. These tests are called Ze and PSC (Prospective Short Circuit).

The readings are sent to our office from the engineer, verified by our manager and then typed up on fastest software, so you can be assured of a professional report.

They are then sent out to you with a quote for any works needed to bring the property up to bs7671 regs, via post and also can be sent via email or fax if needed in a hurry

PAT (Portable Appliance Testing)

1. Specialist PAT testing carried out by qualified engineers
2. State of the art calibrated test equipment
3. Stickers provided on each appliance and a schedule of appliances tested, sent out on completion
4. Competitive rates, depending on amount of items
