In this blog article, we will discuss what electrical maintenance is, why it’s important, and how it will help your business this festive season and into the next year.

Electrical contractors, electrical workers and metering providers involved in the roll out of smart meters must ensure that antenna/communication wiring systems are suitably segregated from electrical wiring in accordance with the Wiring Rules.

Live unterminated cables are a serious risk to everyone, not just electrical workers. These cables are often the result of someone failing to ensure all electrical equipment in an installation has been connected. Live unterminated cables can often remain undetected as the usual electrical tests may not always identify them. This is why your visual inspection is essential, and why the Wiring Rules requires it to be performed before conducting further tests.

An electrical engineer is responsible for ensuring that all configuration and installation  of electrical systems are compliant with all safety regulations.
