Electrical installation controllers
Electrical installation testers provide complete verification of low-voltage networks in compliance with standards IEC 60364, NF C 15-100 and EN 61557. They measure the continuity of protective conductors, earth resistance, loop impedance, contact voltage, polarity and tripping time of differential devices. In maintenance, they can detect insulation faults, phase reversals or voltage imbalances. In certification, they guarantee electrical compliance before commissioning industrial or tertiary installations. Multifunction models combine megohmmeters, voltmeters, earth leakage circuit breaker testing and power measurement. Their accuracy reaches ± (1.5 % + 2 digits) with an earth measurement range of up to 2,000 Ω. USB or Bluetooth interfaces facilitate automatic transfer of test reports and traceability to ISO 17025. Robust and insulated CAT III / CAT IV, these instruments are suitable for use in site, maintenance and quality control environments.
An essential tool for guaranteeing the compliance, safety and performance of electrical installations.

concrete questions about electrical installation inspectors
01
What is the purpose of an electrical installation inspector?It can be used to perform all the measurements required to validate the safety and compliance of a low-voltage electrical installation: earth continuity, insulation, loop impedance, differential tripping, polarity, etc.
02
What standards govern these controls?The tests generally follow the NF C 15-100 standard and the requirements of the international standard IEC 60364. Some sectors add specific requirements (ERP, industry, data centres, etc.).
03
What's the difference between a multimeter and a megohmmeter?The controller combines several test functions in a single device, with automatic sequences adapted to each type of circuit. It also applies the voltages and currents required for loop or DDR tests, which a multimeter cannot do.
04
Is it suitable for preventive maintenance?Yes, in addition to initial acceptance, these instruments can be used to carry out periodic audits, to identify insulation faults or continuity degradations before an incident.
05
Are these devices suitable for complex industrial environments?Some models incorporate modules for three-phase networks, internal memories for reporting or USB/Bluetooth interfaces for generating digital reports. They are designed for demanding environments.
