An essential part of the infrastructure of any industrial plant, warehouse or other building
is its electrical installations. Failures or malfunctions in these installations are a major factor
in starting fires and may also lead to dangerous electric shocks. To protect human life and
property, companies need to assess their electrical risk, analyse the physical condition of
the electrical installation, and immediately deal with any potentially dangerous situations.
Establishing an efficient maintenance program is a cost-effective way to meet requirements.

What is Electrical Inspection?

Electrical inspection involves a series of tests performed on your electrical system, from the
main intake through to the final fixed appliances and accessories, either low or high voltage
according to the in-service reglementation.Crossan Energy uses the latest equipment to
monitor sound and electron discharge, heat generated by high resistance joints and earth
integrity of matrices. A related service is the Infra-Red Thermography survey. This
identifies local points of overheating which can potentially lead to starting fires.

Are electrical inspections mandatory or voluntary?

It depends on what regulations apply to you locally. There is every chance that a mandatory
requirement sets an inspection framework in your county. However even where regulations
about electrical inspection are not strict, it is highly recommended to periodically assess the
state of your electrical installations.
