Pre-Outage Inspection for Electrical Sub-Circuits

by Jacquie Fisher, from the Community

This pre-outage inspection checklist helps electricians document the condition of electrical sub-circuits prior to scheduled outages. Confirm cable and earth sizes suit circuit breaker ratings, verify core identification and phase allocation, and test rotation at field outlets before and after re-energization. Review control wiring associated with the circuit, capturing existing wiring via photos or a simple single-line diagram. Use this tool to identify defects, ensure systems are fit for purpose, and align work to current Australian standards.

Final Sub Circuit Testing Checklist (V0.1)
Use this Final Sub Circuit Testing checklist (V0.1) to document critical electrical verification on final sub-circuits. Record circuit details and breaker type, complete visual inspections, and test insulation resistance, polarity, earth continuity, and fault loop impedance against reference values. Capture RCD trip times, attach photos, add notes on work undertaken, and record the electrical worker’s license number with a signature for compliance traceability. Ideal for electrical installation testing on construction sites and facility fit-outs.

Pre-Outage Distribution Board Inspection Checklist
This checklist guides electricians through pre- and post-outage inspections of distribution boards to ensure safe isolation and compliance with AS3000. It covers energized and de-energized testing, including 10-point voltage checks, phase rotation, insulation resistance, and polarity. Steps include lockout and tagout, earthing system verification including MEN and equipotential bonding, documentation of ratings and cable sizes, photos, and results. Post-outage tasks confirm updated labeling, re-testing, and switchboard load testing with current balance verification. Use it to standardize procedures and reduce risk during commissioning.

MCW062 Re-wiring a House SOP
This Standard Operating Procedure guides electricians through safe house re-wiring for homes and sheds. It covers PPE checks, hazard identification, and control measures for heights, sharp materials, power tool risks, and manual handling. Steps include isolating existing circuits, removing old fittings and cable, installing new cabling and lighting points, re-energization checks, site tidy-up, and documenting materials and fit-out details.

Woodlands Electrical Test Record
Use this electrical test record to document consumer mains, submains, and final circuit checks. Capture supply details, MSB name and location, cable sizes, circuit protection types and ratings, and whether circuits are underground or overhead. Record insulation resistance, fault loop impedance, continuity, polarity, and RCD test results for each circuit. Include visual inspections, phase colors, and neutral details. Add technician name, license number, and a declaration of compliance with electrical safety regulations and AS3000:2018.
