Electrical safety testing that all connections are sound. Live testing Earth fault loop impedance testing: this test is to check that if a fault did occur, that the system meets requirements to cause a disconnection of the supply within the time limit specified RCD testing: on modern electrical systems RCD’s and RCBO’s are regularly fitted, these devices react to electricity missing from the circuit or installation such as when a person is receiving an electric shock as the electricity passes through his body to the ground (earth). The competent person will then issue an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) also known as Periodic
Electrical contractor convention and trade show. Independent Electrical Contractors (IEC) is another trade association for electrical contractors with 70 chapters across the U.S. They provide education and training via a U.S. Department of Labor recognized apprenticeship program. The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers organizes and represents over 700,000 members, and provides training and apprenticeship programs. Electrical contractors in the United States are required to follow National Electrical Code (NEC) to ensure systems work in a safe manner. The NEC is a widely adopted model code for the installation of electrical components and systems, designed to safeguard persons and property from hazards arising
