De-energized testing is an essential part of your building’s electrical preventative maintenance plan.
With the proper maintenance of the electrical equipment, you are ensuring that the equipment remains in proper operating condition, as recommended for the continued delivery of safe and reliable power to the electrical system of your facility.
Without proper electrical maintenance, management assumes an increased risk of a serious electrical failure and its liability consequences. We strongly recommend performing an infrared scan along with automatic transfer switch testing and maintenance prior to your building’s planned outage.
ANSI/NETA Maintenance Testing Specifications, Appendix B, specifies annual visual and mechanical testing and bi-annual electrical testing of switchgear and switchboard assemblies.
NOTE: NFPA 70B Recommended Electrical Practice for Electrical Equipment Maintenance Chapter 7, covers the recommended practice for the electrical equipment maintenance, while conforming to the requirements of NFPA 70E, for the continued safety of all personnel.
