How are OIBT electrical safety checks carried out?

During our intervention, we will first check your electrical panel and each of the sockets in your installation.

We will then check for any possible insulation faults in the circuits and in all the electrical equipment. Please note that the insulation testing process does require a brief interruption of power to your electrical installation.

We will also check your short circuit protection devices (circuit breakers, fuses, etc.)

We measure the minimum short-circuit current in each socket to ensure its safety and check the connection of the sockets.
