Greetings,
Does anyone know of a good source for putting together a comprehensive list of things to look for on a residential power quality inspection?
The purpose is to be consistent and thorough. The reason for the tests vary. It might be a tenant who is convinced that the landlords old wiring is making their computer crash, a homeowner who is convince that the POCO is delivering sub-standard power, etc.
A rough idea might be something like this:
1) Service Entrance
Wire size/condition
Condition of service equipment
System grounding
2) Wiring
Age/type of wiring
Quality of original installation
Apparent addition/changes to original
installation
3) Over fusing, inappropriate bulb sizes, etc
4) Power quality measurements. Guidelines, length of measurement.
Hopefully, this shows the general idea.
Thanks
