License

Typical questions
An electrical expert witness is asked to explain what happened, and whether an installation or a piece of equipment met the technical requirements. Typical matters include:
- Electrical fires and the likely role of the installation or the equipment
- Electrical accidents and the condition of the protective devices
- Damage claims after a fault, a failure or poor workmanship
- Disputes over the quality of an electrical installation or of protection settings
Each opinion is based on the file, the site and the measurements for that case. The list above describes the kinds of questions, not a record of past cases.
How an opinion is prepared
- The request and the existing documents are reviewed first: drawings, test reports, photographs and correspondence.
- Where the question depends on the physical installation, the site is inspected.
- Measurements are taken only when they are needed to support a finding.
- The written opinion states the findings, the basis for them, and the limits of what the evidence shows.
