High-voltage electrical installations

In our society, electricity is an integral part of everyday life. Electricity is a source of energy that is easy to transport and use. It forms the basis for a wide range of applications - from all kinds of household appliances and computers to the most advanced achievements in medicine, communication and more. As with all forms of energy, electricity retains its function as long as it is used under specific conditions. Our experts carry out the necessary tests to guarantee these conditions, and issue you with a certificate if the result is positive.

What you need to know

Electrical installations must be built using safe, purpose-designed electrical equipment, and all components must be properly maintained in accordance with RGIE regulations and good practice. In this way, infallible maintenance and proper use ensure that the safety of people and the preservation of goods are not jeopardized.

When it comes to electrical safety, there are many different aspects to consider:

  • safety aspects when designing installations: the right choice of materials and installation methods, as well as correct dimensioning, with an eye to safe and efficient operation, and safe use of installations
  • safety during installation: ensuring that the installation is carried out in accordance with the design, and that the people working on it are safe.
  • safety during operation: developing and applying the correct procedures for safe operation and use, as well as reporting and dealing with any problems that arise, etc.
  • safety during maintenance, troubleshooting, repairs, inspections, minor extensions or adaptations, and similar work on installations in operation, outside the actual use of the plant.

When it comes to high-voltage installations, it is absolutely essential that they are built and maintained safely and reliably.

It is also important not to forget high-voltage devices powered by the low-voltage network:

  • neon signs
  • electrostatic painting and spraying equipment
  • animal stunning equipment
  • ignition devices for gas and oil burners
  • electric fences
  • electrostatic filter installations

Under certain conditions, insurance companies (Assuralia) grant a discount on the insurance premium, provided that the installations meet certain requirements and inspections. These inspections must be carried out by approved organizations such as Vinçotte.
If the results of the inspection are positive, our experts issue the certificate required by the insurance companies.
