Electrical inspections for plants and machines

Photovoltaic installation with electrical equipment

Initial inspection

Before commissioning or after modification

Inspection of the electrical installation, protective measures and functions before the plant or machine is put into service.

Wiring and terminals inside an industrial control cabinet

Periodic inspection

Condition during operation

Inspection of existing installations, taking their condition, operating load, environment and previous modifications into account.

CNC machine with an operator display

Machine inspection

Electrical equipment of the machine

Inspection of the incoming supply, protective conductors, control cabinets, shutdown functions and electrical equipment.

Electrical connections and network components in operation

Thermography

Assessment under operating conditions

Thermal images make unusual heating at connections, switching devices and power components visible under load.

Inspection of electrical
plants and machines

An inspection must show what was tested, which measurements were taken and where action is required.

We perform initial and periodic inspections in accordance with ETG and ESV. The scope is based on the plant, its use, environmental conditions and available documentation. We inspect the electrical installation, protective measures and functions, record the measurements and assign every finding to the affected part of the plant. Necessary shutdowns are coordinated with operations and maintenance. After completion, the operator receives a complete inspection report for documentation, maintenance and further action.

Inspecting
and measuring

The inspection scope is defined before work begins.

We clarify which plants, machines, distribution boards or sections are to be inspected. Visual inspections, electrical measurements and functional checks are based on the equipment and the available documents. Any necessary shutdowns are agreed in advance.

Visual inspection · Protective conductor · Insulation · Disconnection conditions · Function

Inspection report
and thermography

Measurements and findings must be clearly assigned to the plant.

The report records the scope, measurements, deviations and identified defects. Thermography can supplement the inspection under operating load and document unusual heating at electrical components.

Inspection report · Measurement record · Defect assignment · Thermal images

Thermography does not replace testing of protective measures or a complete electrical inspection.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about electrical inspections

How is the inspection scope determined?

The scope depends on the type of plant or machine, its use, operating conditions and the available documentation.

Before work begins, we clarify which installations, distribution boards and equipment are included and which measurements and functional checks are required.

Does the plant have to be shut down for the inspection?

Some visual inspections can be carried out during operation. Specific electrical measurements and functional checks may require individual sections to be disconnected.

Necessary shutdowns are agreed with operations and maintenance in advance. Thermographic images are taken under normal operating load wherever possible.

What should be inspected after a modification or repair?

Modifications to cables, drives, control cabinets, power supplies or control systems can affect existing protective measures.

We define the affected inspection area, inspect the modified electrical equipment and document which changes were included.

What information is included in the inspection report?

The report identifies the inspected plant or machine and records the inspection scope, methods, measurements and results.

Any defects or deviations are assigned to the affected plant section so that the required corrective work can be planned clearly.

Can thermography replace an electrical inspection?

No. Thermography can reveal unusual heating at components and connections under load and is a useful supplementary investigation.

It does not replace measurements of protective measures, functional checks or a complete electrical inspection.
