Diagnosis & testing
Electrical Fault Finding in Pretoria
When the problem is not obvious, Ponto uses electrical testing equipment to find the fault before replacing parts at random.
Intermittent trips, a circuit that is dead for no clear reason, or a board that behaves unpredictably need methodical testing. Guessing wastes time and often leaves the real fault in place.
Ponto carries electrical testing equipment, including HV testing equipment, and works through the installation — supply, board, circuits and fittings — until the cause is identified. Once we know what is wrong, we can quote or carry out the repair.

Questions we are asked
- What information helps with fault finding?
- When the problem started, which rooms or fittings are affected, whether the earth leakage or a specific breaker trips, and any recent work on the installation. Photos of the open board help if it is safe to take them.
- Do you work on three-phase electrical systems?
- Yes. Ponto undertakes single-phase and three-phase distribution board work, 380V panel wiring and industrial installations.
