Pat power and grounding audits conducted by RO Associates have revealed numerous violations of the National Electrical Code. OSHA, IMSHA, and equipment manufactures' installation specifications. The presence of harmonic currents, load unbalance, loose wiring connections, improper ground and improperly isolated ground, are common problems. These problems and code violations have a detrimental effect on the proper operation of computers and the microprocessor based electronics found in telephone, process are common to many sites we have surveyed and, as our experience is extensive, occur frequently.
During RO Associates on day Site Inspection Training, attendees will observe on their own company selected facility/site how to:
| 1. | Verify proper electrical distribution wiring for the main entrance panel and sub panels feeding critical equipment. |
| 2. | Survey the grounding scheme for code compliance. |
| 3. | Check systems and equipment for compliance with accepted installation practices and manufacturers' specifications. |
| 4. | Measure selected voltages and currents and verify proper load balance. |
| 5. | View voltage waveshapes with an oscilloscope and verify significant amounts of harmonic distortion. |
| 6. | Survey electrical distribution and lighting protection schemes. |
Prerequisite for this training are any RO Associates one or two day Grounding or Power disturbance course.
Determination of the extent of a site audit utilized for training purposes, will be predetermined by RO Associates and the client company.
