Findings (4)

R-SB-05Severe thermal rise at a terminationImmediate dangerS5 × L3 = 15Critical

Temperature rise at a termination is far beyond the alarm threshold and failure is imminent.

Action Shed load from the affected circuit now and remake the termination before the board is reloaded.

Arc flash / electric shock · due 2026-06-28 · NETA MTS §9.15

R-SB-02Blanking or gland plate missingNon-conformingS4 × L3 = 12High

An unused way or cutout is open, so the enclosure no longer provides its rated protection.

Action Fit correct blanks and gland plates. Do not use tape or sheet offcuts.

Arc flash / electric shock · due 2026-07-05 · IEC 61439-1 §8.4.2

R-SB-12Enclosure does not secureNon-conformingS3 × L3 = 9Moderate

The enclosure cannot be closed and locked, so access is not restricted to authorised workers.

Action Repair or replace the door hardware and re-key the board to the electrical suite.

Arc flash / electric shock · due 2026-07-12 · AS/NZS 3000 §2.9.2

R-SB-06Thermographic survey overdueRecords / traceabilityS2 × L4 = 8Moderate

No thermographic survey has been recorded within the interval.

Action Book the survey while the board is under representative load, and file the report against the board identifier.

Loss of design or inspection traceability · due 2026-08-27 · NETA MTS §9.15
