Electrical continuity
Proof that the path to earth is intact, where it really matters.
Why it matters in Brazil
Two Brazilian standards require continuity testing, for two different reasons: ABNT NBR 5410 for the protective conductors of installations, and ABNT NBR 5419-3 for SPDA down conductors. A broken conductor cannot be seen: it has to be measured.
Every engineering design, inspection or report in Brazil must be registered with an ART (Law 6.496/1977) by a professional registered with CREA (Law 5.194/1966). NR-10 also requires every organisation to keep the electrical design and records of earthing inspection and measurement (item 10.15.3).
What it covers
- continuity of protective conductors;
- continuity of SPDA down conductors and connections.
What you receive
- report with measured points, values and photos;
- list of points to be corrected;
- ART registered with CREA.
Who signs
Dario Cini, electrical engineer and occupational safety engineer, graduated from the University of Caxias do Sul, with more than 10 years of work in the industry of Rio Grande do Sul.
Professional registration: CREA-RS 211.450 (public check on the CREA-RS website).
Company: Cini Engenharia, CNPJ 25.268.313/0001-56 (check with the Brazilian Federal Revenue).
Every job is delivered with an ART, the registration of technical responsibility at CREA required by Law 6.496/1977: the name of the engineer in charge stays tied to the document.
