About e-control
e-control Technische Überwachungsgesellschaft mbH is a mid-sized family business specialising in safety-related inspections of electrical installations. Its range of services includes planning of lightning protection systems with 3D visualisation of protected areas using the rolling sphere method, as well as initial, acceptance and recurring inspections of external and internal lightning protection, earthing systems, surge protection, electrical installations up to 1 kV, portable equipment, safety lighting, power-operated windows, doors and gates, and photovoltaic systems including drone thermography of ground-mounted installations. Electrical thermography is performed with high-resolution FLIR thermal imaging cameras; photovoltaic systems are tested, among other things, with the Profitest Prime from Gossen-Metrawatt. Publicly appointed and sworn experts prepare expert reports for court and private proceedings. With more than 10,000 inspected objects, the company serves customers nationwide, including industrial plants, hospitals, utilities, municipalities and major airports. Locations are in Zwenkau (Head Office), Naumburg/S., Hattersheim and Berlin.

Processes and Measurement Technology
Electrical Thermography (FLIR)
Visualisation and localisation of weak points in electrical installations with high-resolution FLIR thermal imaging cameras, before system failure occurs.
Drone Thermography Photovoltaics
Inspection of extensive ground-mounted PV systems by certified drone pilots with radiometric FLIR temperature and visual sensors.
Standards-Compliant Measurement Methods
Inspections are carried out with state-of-the-art measuring instruments, including the Profitest Prime from Gossen-Metrawatt, using all common standards-compliant measurement methods.
