More than replacing it"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>The electrical panel is the box that no one opens. Until you smell hot plastic, until the protection trips three times a day, or until the inspector asks for the PRAM bulletins and the diagram. Then you find out that the panel is <strong>inconsistent<\/strong> and that its real price is not the one on the invoice from ten years ago.<\/p>\n<p><em>If you want a check of the panels in your building, with report and thermography, see the page <a href=\"https:\/\/green-soft.ro\/en\/servicii\/instalatii-electrice\/tablouri-distributie\/\">electrical distribution boards<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>What does &quot;non-compliant&quot; mean?\u201e<\/h2>\n<p>It&#039;s not a vague label. We almost always find some of these problems during inspections:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Without differential protection<\/strong> on the circuits that require it, or with just one, on the entire board, which triggers on anything.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Oversized protections<\/strong>: the fuse was &quot;bigger&quot; so it wouldn&#039;t blow anymore, and now the cable heats up before it does.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mixed neutral and protective conductors<\/strong>, multi-wire terminals, connections without lugs.<\/li>\n<li><strong>No schema and no labels<\/strong>: no one knows what powers each circuit, and any intervention begins with shutting down the entire building.<\/li>\n<li><strong>ground<\/strong> missing or with resistance value above the allowed limit.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Signs of warming<\/strong>: blackened terminals, melted insulation, smell. Thermography sees them before they are visible to the naked eye.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Unauthorized modifications<\/strong>: new circuits drawn by &quot;a boy who knows how to&quot;, without a report, without a report card.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Inappropriate degree of protection<\/strong> for the installation location (wet basement, outdoors, dusty hall).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>What are you risking?<\/h2>\n<h3>At the check-up<\/h3>\n<p>ITM and ISU inspectors ask for PRAM inspection reports and, in buildings with fire safety installations, the correspondence between what is installed and what is approved. A panel without documents is a point in the report, with a deadline for remediation. I wrote about what is checked in <a href=\"https:\/\/green-soft.ro\/en\/masuratori-pram-inspectii-termografice\/\">PRAM measurements and thermographic inspections<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>In case of damage<\/h3>\n<p>A panel that does not have a schematic and separate circuits is serviced with the entire floor shut down. In a hotel, a clinic, or a production line hall, downtime has a price that you know better than we do.<\/p>\n<h3>At the fire<\/h3>\n<p>Electrical installations are among the common causes of fires in buildings. After a fire, the insurer asks for the same documents as the inspector: reports, minutes, authorization from the person who performed the work. Without them, the discussion about compensation becomes complicated.<\/p>\n<h2>What does the price of compliance depend on?<\/h2>\n<p>We don&#039;t give you a figure from the office, because it wouldn&#039;t be accurate. We tell you what it depends on, so you understand the offer when you receive it:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>What is kept.<\/strong> Sometimes the casing and part of the equipment remain, the connections are restored, protections are added and labeling is done. Other times the entire panel is replaced.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Number of circuits<\/strong> and the type of protections (differentials on each circuit, overvoltage protections, separators).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Installed power<\/strong> and whether the painting is general or secondary.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Installation location<\/strong>: dry or medium interior requiring a high degree of protection.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Documentation<\/strong>: single-wire diagram, labeling, PRAM bulletins after the work, reception report.<\/li>\n<li><strong>program<\/strong>: if the work needs to be done at night or on weekends, so that the activity does not stop.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We calculate the cost on your case, after a visit in which we open the painting, take photos, measure and do thermography. The visit is usually enough to tell you on the spot whether we are talking about a repair or a replacement.<\/p>\n<h2>What do you get from an ANRE authorized company?<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>The work performed by <a href=\"https:\/\/green-soft.ro\/en\/electrician-autorizat-anre-constanta\/\">ANRE certified electricians<\/a>, with company certificate.<\/li>\n<li>The diagram of the painting, glued to the door and delivered in electronic format.<\/li>\n<li>Labels on each circuit.<\/li>\n<li>PRAM verification bulletins for earthing, continuity and differential protections.<\/li>\n<li>Reception report and, where applicable, updating the building file.<\/li>\n<li>A calendar of <a href=\"https:\/\/green-soft.ro\/en\/servicii\/instalatii-electrice\/verificari-pram\/\">PRAM checks<\/a> periodic, so you don&#039;t end up here again.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>A simple test you can do today<\/h2>\n<p>Open the panel door.
