Time well spent studying inspection and testing guide

Article Abstract:

The Institute of Electrical Engineers (IEE) Inspection and Testing Guidance Note gives worthwhile information and advice for inspectors. The first part is concerned with new work and covers safe testing practices and details the inspections required by the Regulations. Information on periodic insections is given but the Note avoids difficult situations. Part three gives practical advice on procedures and methods for testing. The Note is useful and should be studied.

Protection in the heat: it is not enough to consider just the effect of self-generated heat on parts of an electrical installations. Contractors must not overlook the consequential risks associatied with high temperature electrical equipment

Article Abstract:

Electrical fires may be due to 'consequential' damage, rather than an electrical fault, and amendments to BS7671 consider consequential fires with additions to the Protection Against Thermal Effects chaper. The installer must understand the potential for future risks such as taking not of flammable materials which could be placed close to electrical equipment. Thought should also be given to risks linked to display lighting.
