Does the temporary construction power connection need to be inspected monthly by an electrician?

But it must, it is stated like that in the VDE BGI's and in the contract that the builder and electrician conclude with each other.


In theory, the RCD test button should even be pressed daily.

Where does it say monthly? It says it could look like this.

Recurrent tests

The frequency of recurrent tests is based on the specifications in the risk assessment, the scope according to the specifications in VDE 0105-100.

Note:
Setting test intervals could look for example like this:


Daily - pressing the test button of the residual current device by the user
Monthly - metrological testing of the residual current device by a qualified person
Semi-annually - measurement of insulation resistances and inspection of protective conductor connections by a qualified person

Every electrical installation must be tested by a qualified electrician before commissioning, after modification and after repair, as well as at appropriate intervals (§ 5 BGV A3 or § 5 GUV-V A3). The tests must be documented.

Because testing a construction site power distributor serves occupational safety and protection against electrical accidents. The following standards and regulations must be observed for testing construction site power distributors:

[*]VDE 0100-704
[*] VDE 0100-600
[*] VDE 0105-100
[*] BGI 608
[*] VDE 0660-501

Should you pay for that? I wouldn't do it, the [GÜ] should pay, since construction electricity is probably contractually defined on the [GÜ]'s side, right?

On our site, construction power had to be provided on site. I believe this is often the case as well.

Construction site electricity provided by the client According to the main contractor, it has recently become mandatory to pay monthly (a well-known electrician says otherwise) The charged time is outrageous. The main contractor agrees. They are not the only ones. The construction site electricity box was originally included in the civil engineer's offer. They are no longer allowed to just set it up. At some point, there was a call asking if xy may set up the construction site electricity box - Yes. We thought we would pay for the setup and roughly the same amount for the rental. Next week, I'll have to keep a close eye on the electrician. This can't continue like this. Next time, he has to make an appointment and I will stand next to him,
