Importance of Electrical Measurements for Your Home Safety

Why are Measurements Essential?

1. Fire Hazard Prevention

Outdated, damaged, or improperly installed electrical wiring is one of the main causes of fires. Electrical measurements — such as insulation resistance, earth loop resistance, and phase-neutral loop resistance measurements — allow timely detection of defects:

• Overheating in conductors.

• Short circuit risks.

• Damaged insulation that can lead to current leakage and ignition.

By regularly conducting these measurements, you significantly reduce the risk of fire and protect your family and property.

2. Compliance with Regulatory Acts: Cabinet Regulations No. 238 

In Latvia, the maintenance and inspection of electrical installations are strictly regulated by law.

According to The Cabinet Regulations No. 238 "Fire Safety Regulations", every property must have electrical installations compliant with fire safety requirements, and their condition must be regularly checked. These regulations explicitly require periodic electrical measurements to certify the safety of the installation.

Compliance with this requirement is not just a formality — it is a legal requirement that guarantees the safety of your electrical installation and compliance with national standards.

3. The Basis of Your Insurance Policy

Both for private residences and businesses (factories, offices, warehouses), insurance companies are becoming increasingly stringent.

In cases of accidents, such as a fire caused by a defect in the electrical installation, insurers may request to submit current, certified specialist electrical measurement documents.

If you are missing these documents or they are outdated, the insurance company may:

• refuse the payout;

• reduce the payout amount.

Therefore, valid measurement protocols are an essential part of the insurance contract and a guarantee of financial security.
