As companies expand and move into new premises, one often overlooked feature is having the switchboard and electrical systems validated by experts but this could be a crucial mistake to make, says a company with unrivalled expertise in the field.

Mardix Critical Power Services Ltd says that switchboard validations are vital way to understand how the current power system is working and whether there are any potential issues.

A spokesman for Mardix said: “Having a switchboard validation is ideal for tenants who are moving into a new rented space or for those older installations they are looking to expand into.

Mardix is a market leader

“At Mardix Critical Power Services we can provide a full range of intrusive tests and then provide extensive reports which will detail our recommendations for the action that needs to be taken along with the remedial costs, which will include prices for replacing vital equipment.”

All switchboard validation testing is carried out in accordance with BS6423:1983 and BS7671 and will include checking the earthing of the switchboard, insulation levels and its segregation and IP rating.

In addition, the firm's experts will also be checking the cabling terminations and sizing as well as surveying all of the metering arrangements.

It goes without saying that this level of professional service is not only unrivalled but the highly trained engineers will also provide electrical schematic drawings.

And should the job be a particularly large undertaking, then Mardix will be happy to supply project management skills and experience to ensure that the work is carried out effectively and efficiently.
