Switchgear Servicing
A well planned and maintained electrical system is a key factor in the safe and economical operation of a work place. Regular inspection and maintenance of switchgear should be high on a facilities or electrical manager’s list of priorities.
Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 (EAWR) places a legal responsibility on employers and employees, as duty holders to ensure that electrical systems used at work under their control are safe.
The inspection & maintenance should take in to consideration:-
- The manufacturer’s guidance and user manuals.
- Health & Safety at Work Act 1974
- Electricity at Work Regulations 1989
- HSE publication HSG230 - Keeping electrical switchgear safe
- BS 6423:2014 - Code of practice for maintenance of low-voltage switchgear and control gear
- BS 6626:2010 - Maintenance of electrical switchgear and control gear for voltages above 1 kV and up to and including 36 kV
