PRODEN GROUP has developed an electrical engineering project for a low voltage electrical revision in an industrial installation. The action was carried out in an industrial installation, located in the province of Barcelona.
The action consisted of a preventive electrical inspection of the installation and the grounding system. With the aim of verifying its condition, continuity and regulatory compliance, reinforcing the electrical safety of people and equipment.
These types of projects are part of PRODEN GROUP’s services throughout Catalonia. PRODEN GROUP performs inspection, technical verification and regulatory support in industrial installations.
Electrical engineering applied to inspection and regulatory verification
Technical and preventive approach to the project
The project was approached from an engineering and engineering and technical consultingwith a strictly preventive approach. The scope focused on checking the correct operation of the low voltage electrical system and grounding.
The main objective was to have a reliable technical assessment, aligned with regulatory requirements, that would allow the client to know the status of its electrical installation and facilitate safety and maintenance management.
Low-voltage electrical inspection and grounding system
Inspection of electrical installations according to REBT
Low voltage regulatory verification
The work performed included the review of low voltage electrical installations, following the criteria established in the Low Voltage Electrotechnical Regulation (REBT). Electrotechnical Regulation for Low Voltage (REBT) and its Complementary and its Complementary Technical Instructions.
From the point of view of electrical engineering, this type of inspection makes it possible to check that the installation maintains adequate safety conditions and that the protection elements operate correctly under normal service conditions.
Checking the grounding system
Evaluation of land continuity and effectiveness
A fundamental part of the project was the verification of the grounding system, a key element for protection against indirect contacts in industrial environments.
The checks were performed in accordance with the criteria set forth in:
- ITC-BT-18 – Grounding Installations
- ITC-BT-24 – Protection against indirect contacts
This type of verification makes it possible to evaluate the efficiency of the grounding system and its performance in the event of faults, contributing to the safety of people and the reliability of the electrical installation.
Inspection and measurement methodology applied
Technical procedure and traceability
The methodology applied was based on:
- Visual inspections of the general condition of the electrical panels.
- Technical checks of the protective conductor.
- Measurement of the grounding system by regulatory methods.
- Verification of the fault loop impedance.
- Structured recording of results and technical observations.
In addition, all actions were carried out with duly calibrated measuring equipment and by qualified technical personnel, which guarantees, on the one hand, the reliability of the results obtained and, on the other hand, the complete technical traceability of the project, in accordance with the applicable regulatory requirements.
Value added to the customer
Electrical safety and risk control
The inspection allows the client to have a clear and objective view of the state of its electrical installation, contributing to the prevention of electrical risks and the protection of workers and visitors.
Technical support for maintenance and management
The project provides a solid technical basis for electrical maintenance management, facilitating the planning of future actions and the monitoring of the condition of the installation.
Regulatory compliance and inspection readiness
Verification according to the REBT and its ITC helps the customer to keep its installation aligned with current regulations and prepared for regulatory inspections or internal audits.
