Visual Inspection

General

• Basic protection (protection against direct contact with live parts), e.g. insulation and enclosure.

• Fault protection (protection against indirect contact with exposed conductive parts), e.g. by the use of automatic disconnection of supply, double insulation or isolating transformers.

• Protection against spread of fire, e.g. penetration of fire barriers.

• General condition of the electrical equipment, e.g. signs of damage that could impair safe operation, disconnection of unused electrical equipment.

Switchboards

• Location, e.g. access and egress.

• Protective devices, e.g. selection and setting of adjustable protective devices for compliance with overcurrent protection, arc fault protection and discrimination requirements.

• Isolating devices, e.g. main switches.

• Connecting devices, e.g. neutral bars, earth bars and active links.

• Connection and fixing of wiring and switchgear.

• Identification and labelling of electrical equipment.

• Protection against external influences.

Wiring Systems

• Conductor size, e.g. current-carrying capacity and voltage drop.

• Identification of cable cores.

• Adequate support and fixing.

• Particular installation conditions, e.g. underground, aerial, safety services.

• Protection against external influences, e.g. enclosure.

Electrical Equipment

• Isolation and switching devices for protection against injury from mechanical movement devices and motors.

• Switching devices for particular electrical equipment, e.g. socketoutlets, water heaters, etc.

• Compliance with required Standard.

• Connection, support and fixing.

• Protection against external influences.

Earthing

• MEN connection.

• Earth electrode.

• Earthing conductors, e.g. size, identification.

• Equipotential bonding conductors, e.g. size, identification.

• Connections, joints and terminations.

• Protection against external influences.

• Connection to earthing arrangements for other systems.
