Electrical panel board testing.
In many homes built after 1960 or upgraded older homes 100 amps is the standard service size.
In history pcbs were been developed by going through a complicated procedure of point to point wiring and these circuits were highly exposed to get failure or damage.
The continuity and operation of the protection and control circuits during the panel test is a key factor in the security.
1 bolted electrical connections should be inspected for high resistance either by use of a low resistance ohmmeter dlro calibrated torque wrench or infrared scan loose bolted electrical connections can lead to higher energy consumption and eventual equipment failure if not properly addressed.
Why is thermography testing of electrical panel important.
Wiring and bolted connection checks for switchgear and switchboards.
Total electrical capacity of an electrical service is measured in amperage amps.
Printed circuit board pcb is the common name that is used for these electrical boards.

Point to point checks of wiring.
The electrical panel test also involves checking all the wiring and signals to the relays and instruments for the proper operation of the protection logic and the measuring reliability.
In very old homes with knob and tube wiring and screw in fuses you may find the original electrical service delivers 30 amps slightly newer homes built before 1960 may have 60 amp service.
