Electrical installation inspection

Whether you're the operator of an ERP, industrial, tertiary or commercial building, ensuring the safety of your users, customers and employees is an obligation.

To achieve this, inspections of your electrical installations and processes must be carried out as soon as your facilities are commissioned, and then periodically throughout their operation. They enable us to :

• Quickly detect electrical malfunctions
• Ensure regulatory compliance in Cameroon
• Limit fire hazards
• Ensure optimum levels of safety and protection within your facility
• Reduce the risk of accidents, breakdowns and business interruptions
  
  

Depending on the type of building concerned, the nature of the inspection (initial or periodic) and the installations deployed (LV and HV electrical installations, emergency lighting, power generators, etc.), inspection and compliance procedures vary.lectrical installations, emergency lighting, generators), the procedures for checking and maintaining compliance vary.

Apave Cameroon's inspections focus in particular on :

• The content of regulatory checks
• Periodicity
• Protection and monitoring devices
• Traceability and retention periods for transmitted reports

In compliance with current technical standards and safety regulations - in particular law n°2011/022 governing the electricity sector in Cameroon and standard NC 244, which aims to reduce accidents and fires linked to electrical installation failures - our inspections enable us to assess the conformity of your installations, to identify any faults, and to provide you with the necessary information.s linked to electrical installation failures - our inspections enable us to assess the conformity of your installations, identify any risks and support you in implementing corrective actions where necessary.

Infrared thermography inspection of electrical installations (switchboards, distribution cabinets, transformers, etc.) facilitates, above all, the detection of hot spots - any source of abnormal heating and other thermal faults.

Rapidly identifying and analyzing these anomalies, which could cause a breakdown or even a fire, means you can intervene before they become critical.

This key, non-intrusive method is part of Apave Cameroon's expertise.

An electrical inspection that takes lightning risk into account enables you to assess the actual exposure of your building or industrial site to lightning strikes and their consequences (risk of accidents, fires, business interruptions), and to protect yourself against them. consequences (risk of accidents, fires, business interruptions), and to protect you from them.

As part of our lightning protection approach, we identify :

• Your site's level of exposure (location, environment, height of structures)
• The vulnerability of your electrical installations
• Risks to people, property and business continuity
• Applicable regulatory requirements (compliance with standard NC 15-100, for example, which calls for lightning protection and the installation of devices such as lightning arresters).

Once the risk has been identified, the lightning technical study defines the solutions to be implemented to secure your electrical installations:

• Verification of lightning arresters (choice, installation) and lightning protection devices (SPF)
• Checking earthing and equipotential bonding
• Diagnosis of electrical cabinets and switchboards
• Recommendations recorded in a report (at the end of the inspection).
