Why is Electrical Light Testing important?
The risks from untested electrical lighting systems can be severe. The list includes electrocution and other injuries, fire and possibly fines for non-compliance with regulations. Therefore, it is important to have a periodic inspection and testing of electrical lighting systems.
In what situations are Electrical Light Testing necessary?
Other than routine checks, change of ownership of an establishment, any modifications or other changes to the original electrical installation may create the need for electrical light testing.
How is Electrical Light Testing performed?
The electrical testing aspects include a functional check and checking the wiring of the light and the condition of all connections. The tests are carried out and the results of measured values are recorded against stated values.
Electrical light testing includes:
- Visual inspection of all components
- Checking of continuity of protective conductors and earth bonding;
- Polarity checks
- Checking insulation resistance between live/earth and neutral/earth with assembly wiring disconnected
- Earth fault loop impedance with Distribution Network Operator power cut-off
- Capacitance Test
