Definition of Electrical Inspection
Definition of electrical inspection is a visual or analytical process for verifying the physical condition of an electrical system or component. This usually involves direct observation to assess whether something meets established standards or specifications. While the definition of electrical testing is a more technical and quantitative process that involves measuring or evaluating the performance of a system or component under specified conditions. This often involves the use of tools and methods to obtain numerical data. – Omazaki Consultant is a consultant that provides electrical inspection services for electrical systems and equipment for building and industrial facilities.
