YOU ASK:
RECENTLY, I’VE BEEN MORE INVOLVED WITH INSTALLING ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGE POINTS, AND I’M EXPECTING THAT I WILL SOON START TO BE ASKED TO PROVIDE ROUTINE TESTING FOR THESE. THIS IS ALL PROFITABLE WORK, BUT FILLING IN THE TEST CERTIFICATES BY HAND IS TEDIOUS AND TIME-CONSUMING. IS THERE A WAY TO AUTOMATE THIS PROCESS?
MEGGER SAYS:
There certainly is – by using Megger CertSuite Installation software. This includes two certificates specifically for EV charge points. The first is an electrical installation test report, which you would use when certifying a new installation, and the second is an electrical installation condition report which you would use to record the results of routine testing on an existing installation. These certificates will cover all of your requirements relating to EV charge points, but CertSuite Installation can do much more; it provides everything needed to produce certificates for all types of domestic and commercial electrical installation. When CertSuite Installation is used with a Megger MFT-X1 multifunction installation tester, results are captured directly from the instrument – no manual data entry is needed. Results are stored securely in the Cloud or, if no internet connection is available, they’re stored locally for uploading later. CertSuite Installation is available as a mobile App for iOS and Android devices, and it’s also compatible with all widely used browsers on laptops and desktops.
