Ampion Ltd

Ampion is a limited company operating in the facilities management and electrical safety compliance market, whose primary focus is making your workplace safer.

The company has a proud heritage of traditional skills and values fused with professional management.

We understand clearly that we get work through positive personal relationships and work hard to ensure we deliver what we promise.

The business was set up in July 1991 and since then have successfully completed numerous landmark sites, becoming a leading player in all areas of electrical safety testing. Moving the company forward into the European market required a refreshing new brand identity that would allow us to expand beyond our current borders, so after 20 years of service Sean Kelly of SK Electrical became incorporated on 4th July 2011 and is now trading as Ampion. The company has a proven history in the delivery of testing across Ireland, operating within the education, healthcare, commercial and local government sectors. Drawing upon innovative service delivery models, and using directly employed staff, we offer clients a one-stop solution for all testing services.

As one of the first companies in Ireland to provide Electrical Safety Testing, we are proud of our reputation.

What We Do
Ampion is committed to providing high quality and highly efficient services, designed to suit our client’s specific needs and facilitate employer compliance with the provisions of the regulations. Our growth has gathered considerable momentum because we listen to what our clients’ say. Our range of services will keep customers and clients safe and ensure you are compliant with relevant Health and Safety Regulations.

Services include:

Portable Appliance Testing
Introduced to enable companies to comply with Health and Safety Regulations. PAT Testing has become a primary method of choice for maintaining electrical safety in the workplace as regulations require that all electrical equipment is safe and maintained to prevent danger. We provide this service to ensure your business remains compliant by testing all portable appliances in the workplace.

Fixed Installation Testing
A mandatory requirement. This ensures that the natural deterioration and occasional damage that occurs throughout the life of an installation is monitored and identified for repair or upgraded if necessary. We will inspect all of the hard wiring in the premises which includes items such as main panels, distribution boards, lighting and socket outlets.

Thermal Imaging (Thermography)
This service helps us identify faults before they occur. By using an infra-red camera to test the electrical systems, our engineers can conduct a test from a safe distance and without the need to switch off any system. This allows tests to be carried out at any time causing minimal disruption.

The camera can detect any areas of excessive and undue heat build-up in your electrical systems. This can be indicative of component failure such as loose or corroded connections and joints, insulation resistance breakdown or worn and pitted parts. These faults and the resulting heat build-up over time can result in a system failure or even become a fire risk.
By conducting this type of test, you can detect and prioritise faults before they become dangerous or costly to repair at a later time.

Emergency Lighting
Emergency Lighting is a general term and is divided into emergency escape lighting and standby lighting. Both require a regular test and inspection to comply with regulations. This service can be arranged at your convenience as full tests (which can last up to 3 hours) may not be possible during normal working hours. It is recommended that these tests are conducted every 6-12 months and details / outcomes are to be recorded in your emergency lighting logbook.

RCD Testing
The RCD (Residual Current Device) constantly monitors the electric current flowing through one or more circuits which it is used to protect. The device is in place to detect any instances of electricity flowing down an incorrect path, such as a person who has touched a live part. Once this occurs the RCD will act as a circuit breaker, significantly reducing the risk of death or serious injury.
