NFPA 79 - Testing and Verification
NFPA 79 - Testing and Verification
(OP)
Hello,
As part of our machine commissioning at my company we perform Hi-Pot and IR testing on our machines. I have been taught to always bypass any electrical components that have a UL or CE mark. The reason being these items were already tested at their factory. Since we use all UL or CE marked components I am pretty much just testing the wire internal to our control cabinets and through conduit runs. I am just curious
if others do the same.
Also, Does anyone know of a training course in regards to NFPA 79 chapter 18?
Regards,
PSM007

RE: NFPA 79 - Testing and Verification
This is standard practice.
As you said, you are "testing the wire internal to our control cabinets and through conduit runs" because that is what has never been tested.
