the testing of electrical services and systems that
conduct electricity around a building. It covers all of the hard wiring in a building and includes items such as main panels, distribution boards, lighting, socket outlets, air conditioning and other fixed plant. Competent - a person possessing sufficient technical knowledge, relevant practical skills and experience for the nature of electrical work undertaken and is able at all times to prevent danger and, where appropriate, injury to him/herself and others. Purchase - A power purchase agreement (PPA), or electricity power agreement, is a contract between two parties, one which generates electricity (the seller) and one which is looking to purchase electricity (the buyer). Reputable - having a good reputation. Splits or breaks - A split outlet is a duplex outlet, or receptacle, with one half of the outlet that has power all the time and one half that is controlled by a switch. Flexes - A flex is an electric cable containing two or more wires that is connected to an electrical appliance. Clampled - a current clamp or current probe is an electrical device with jaws which open to allow clamping around an electrical conductor. Clamping voltage refers to the maximum amount of voltage that can pass a surge protector or electrical breaker before it restricts further voltage from passing to a device or computer. It is a process through which a device or equipment is protected from electrical surges. Faulty - a fault or fault current is any abnormal electric current. For example, a short circuit is a fault in which current bypasses the normal load. An open- circuit fault occurs if a circuit is interrupted by some failure.
