Commercial Fault Finding and Repair

What is Commercial Fault Finding?

Fault finding is a process that involves tracing and locating electrical issues that have caused an electrical system to fail. When electrical dangers occur, circuit breakers will trip, RCD devices will shut off power and cable damage can occur.

Fault finding uses specialist electrical test equipment and the knowledge of the electrician to diagnose the type of electrical fault that has occurred and then pins down the location on the electrical circuit where the fault is located.

What types of Faults are there?

When carrying out COMMERICAL FAULT FINDING there are the following types of faults that can occur:

• Short Circuit
• Earth Fault
• Overloaded Circuit
• Broken Circuit

Within each type of fault there can be several reasons for its occurrence and that is where the knowledge and experience of our Electricians shines through. With many years of experience in electrical testing and fault finding, we are able to get to the root of your problems quickly.

How do Electrical Faults show up?

Electrical faults in the system will show up in a variety of ways. Some electrical faults are incredibly dangerous and do not show any symptoms at all. Typical symptoms include:

• Fishy Smell when overheating or burning is occurring
• Tripping Switches
• Electrical shocks off equipment 
• Intermittent operation of appliances
• Flickering lights
• Some sockets not working
• Overheating in the fuse box or consumer unit

Electrical systems will work until the point of complete failure before some electrical faults actually appear as symptoms which is why it is important to have regular electrical safety checks carried out.

Can all Commercial Electrical Faults be repaired?

Many electrical faults can be repaired using new parts or by rewiring a section of the affected electrical circuit. Where a burnt-out socket or cable has occurred, these can be replaced quickly and at reasonable cost.

Where the distribution board (trip switch enclosure) has been badly affected by fire or overheating, repairs may not be possible without replacing the board.
