Hi All,
I was wanting to set out a testing schedule and part of it is including the testing of site huts electrical supply.
Can anyone offer exact guidance on the frequency of such tests and the source.
Thanks,
Lee

Depends on use or if transient or fixed, as you will have initial installation tests and obviously the periodical.
Check IEE regs or even contact NECIEC

Ron, Lee was asking about supply, not the fixed or portable stuff.
Anyhow dependant on the site it would be prudent to "check" the supply cables and points of entry reasonably frequently for signs of damage.
