Keep Your Low-Voltage System Safe
A safe low-voltage installation is essential for the continuity of your organization. Daily use, wear and tear, and modifications can cause components to become less reliable. This increases the risk of malfunctions, outages, or even fire.
A low-voltage inspection provides insight into the technical condition of the system. This allows you to identify defects in a timely manner and ensures your system remains compliant with applicable laws and regulations.
An inspection is required, among other things:
- Before putting a new installation into service
- After major modifications or expansions
- Periodically, usually every five years
- Annually for temporary, mobile, and explosion-hazardous installations
The type of inspection and frequency required depend on local laws and regulations, the characteristics of the installation, and the conditions under which it is used.
An inspection that goes the extra mile
During the inspection, our specialists assess the entire low-voltage installation—from distribution panels, cabling, protective devices, and grounding systems to electrical connections.
Where necessary, we expand the inspection to include additional tests, such as thermographic inspections. Using thermal imaging, we quickly detect overheated connections and other hidden defects.
Depending on the installation, its use, and local requirements, additional inspections or specific inspection standards may apply. Our specialists will advise you on the approach that best suits your situation.
The Benefits of an Inspection
With a periodic inspection:
- You prevent malfunctions and unplanned downtime
- You reduce the risk of fire and electrical accidents
- You comply with relevant standards and inspection requirements
- Gain insight into the technical condition of your installation
- Make maintenance and investments more predictable
