fixed Wire Testing Healthcare UPS / IPS

Paddy J

Morning all, currently starting managing fix wire testing in the hospital that I work at – tester has explained they are not testing any UPS / IPS circuits supplied from the UPS / IPS (blue socket outlets etc. ) , he’s saying they never have to test these ( he confirms he wouldn’t know how). This leads me to ask what tests and how would these be carried out reference live functional testing  (earth loops etc.).BS 7671 says very little about this.

    You do need to verify the insulation monitoring is working though.  Modern units self test, so the inspection is essentially visual.

    Who has mandated 5 year tests ? - they may have an opinion.

    And the makers of the insulation monitors may be able to recommend a test process or service interval if it is not self testing.
