Wiring M. Mostafa 17
Wiring There are two types of risks involving wiring External exposure of the cable to a fire originating in other combustible materials. The cables consist primarily of insulation material (70%), which means that there is a lot of combustible material available Internal overheating due to overloads or short circuits in cables M. Mostafa 18
Wiring There are over 9,000 electrical fires across the UK each year. M. Mostafa 19
Wiring M. Mostafa 20
When is a periodic inspection needed? It is generally accepted that an electrical installation should be inspected every ten years. When a circuit breaker trips frequently, or sockets, switches, or fuse panels become hot or display burn marks, an inspection and further maintenance is required. In Belgium, an inspection of the electrical installation is required when there is a change of ownership. M. Mostafa 21
What to inspect? Adequacy of the earthing and bonding Suitability of the switch gear and control gear Serviceability of the equipment (switches, socket outlets, light fittings) by careful examination for signs of overheating The wiring system and its condition (old types of cables, insulation of the cables) Provision for RCDs Presence of adequate identification and notices Extent of any wear and tear, damage, or other indications Changes in the use of the premises that can lead to deficiencies in the installation M. Mostafa 22
Some of the tests that can be carried out with the supply connected Continuity of the protective conductors Equipotential bonding Earth electrode resistance Earth-fault loop impedance Correct operation of the RCDs Correct operation of switches and isolators M. Mostafa 23
