Record Electrical Loads

When performing an electrical system inspection, don’t forget to record electrical load on the subject circuits. Doing so will not only enable you to duplicate your inspection efforts during a follow up inspection but will also allow you to make meaningful assessments when trending either absolute temperatures or delta Ts.

Ammeter readings should always be taken with a true RMS sensing ammeter for accurate load readings.
