The company i work for manufactures machinery which have a control panel that houses all of the switchgear,inverters starters, PLCs etc, we carry out the electrical install on the machine but when it goes to the client, we are not responsible for the mains supply to the control panel, what i want to know is what are the regulations on testing the Earth Loop impedance etc on production lines. My opinion is that when we install the machine (when i say machine its actually a production line) we should carry out a full electrical test and inspection as you would on any installation, most of the circuits are Motors,Lighting,safety circuits and instrumentation. I have encountered this before where no testing is sort by the client or anybody when installing machinery, it seems to be the opinion that it is just the fixed wiring of a building that requires testing ??? any comments would be appreciated
