Substation Audit App turns substation audits into a scored, repeatable programme. Auditors score each substation against weighted criteria, attach photo evidence, and track corrective actions to verified closure across every site. Managers compare substation audit scores across sites and track every corrective action to closure.
Substation Audit App runs a scored substation audit covering interlock function, protection relay flags, insulation and tracking, earthing and shutters, and operating mechanism, with a photo and a sign-off required on each point. Without a system, substation findings live on paper and in chat. A substation fault such as failed interlock slips through. An audit then means rebuilding substation evidence from folders.
Substation Audit App keeps one record per substation and per site, with photo evidence and a named sign-off. Each substation finding is tracked to verified closure. HV/LV technicians and electrical engineers see substation completion and overdue actions across the energy & utilities portfolio. Every substation record proves what was checked, when, and by whom.
What to Include in a Substation Audit App?
A comprehensive substation audit covers the key areas that affect operations and compliance. Audit substation programmes with weighted scoring, photo evidence, and corrective action tracking across sites. Your audit should include sections for interlock function, protection relay flags, and insulation and tracking, evidence capture, pass/fail or scoring criteria, corrective action assignment, and sign-off, so that nothing is missed and every audit finding is traceable.
How to Use Substation Audit App
A scored audit only helps if every auditor scores the same way. Follow these steps to run a substation audit:
Open the substation audit template, which carries weighted criteria and a scoring scheme.
Score each substation against the criteria and attach photo evidence for any non-conformance.
Let the app calculate the section and overall substation score so the site is comparable to others.
Raise a corrective action for each failed substation criterion with an owner and due date.
Sign off the substation audit. The scorecard and branded report generate automatically.
What Does a Substation Audit Cover?
A substation audit scores condition against IEC 62271 and local electrical codes, checking interlock function, protection relay flags, insulation and tracking, earthing and shutters, and operating mechanism. Each substation finding is logged with a photo, a severity, and the failing point. So the substation audit becomes a traceable evidence pack, not an ageing spreadsheet.

How Substation Audit App Scores a Substation Audit
Step 1
Score Consistently
Weighted criteria are built into the substation audit template.
Step 2
Evidence Every Finding
Auditors attach photo proof for each substation non-conformance.
Step 3
Compare and Act
Scorecards rank sites and failed substation criteria become corrective actions.

What Substation Teams Fix When Audits Are Scored the Same Way Everywhere
Substation work breaks down the moment evidence leaves the form. These are the problems Substation Audit App is built to remove, and what the team gets back when it does.
Substation data is scattered across spreadsheets, photos, and chat
Some substation records sit in Excel, some in a WhatsApp group, some in a folder of photos. There is no single source of truth for the substation, so every substation question takes an hour and three people to answer.
Problem
Substation records split across Excel, chat, and photo folders
No single trusted version of the substation record
Answering a simple substation question takes hours
Solution
One system of record for every substation check and finding
Every substation photo and action tied to its record
Search any site or substation and get an answer instantly
Every auditor scores the substation audit differently, so sites cannot be compared
One auditor is strict, another is lenient, and a third skips sections. The substation audit scores come back, but leadership cannot tell whether a low score means a weak site or a tough auditor.
Problem
Substation scoring depends on which auditor showed up
Substation sections get skipped with no record
Substation scores are not comparable across sites
Solution
Weighted substation criteria baked into the audit template
Mandatory substation sections, so nothing is skipped
Comparable substation scores that roll up across the estate
Substation issues get logged, then quietly forgotten
A failed item is noted during a routine audit. Nobody owns it, no date is set, and the next audit finds the same problem on the same substation. The substation issue is logged, not closed.
Problem
Failed substation items noted but never assigned to anyone
No due date on a substation fix, so nothing is ever overdue
The substation fix is marked done with no proof it happened
Solution
Every failed substation item becomes an owned corrective action
Closure needs a substation verification photo before sign-off
Overdue actions escalate automatically
Frequently Asked Questions
What does Substation Audit App check on a substation audit?
Substation Audit App runs a scored substation audit against IEC 62271 and local electrical codes, checking interlock function, protection relay flags, insulation and tracking, earthing and shutters, and operating mechanism. Each finding is logged with a photo, a severity, and the point it fails, then routed to an owner with a deadline. It stays open until a reviewer verifies the fix, so the audit becomes a traceable evidence pack for hv/lv technicians and electrical engineers rather than an ageing spreadsheet. Because scoring is built into the template, two sites assessed by two people produce numbers you can compare fairly.
Which substation defects matter most, and what happens if they are missed?
The audit targets the substation failures that matter most: failed interlock, relay in alarm, tracking on insulation, and stiff mechanism. Left unchecked, a fault such as failed interlock can mean downtime, a safety incident, or a failed audit, so every finding becomes an owned task with a deadline. It stays open until photo proof of the repair is reviewed, and repeat problems are flagged so hv/lv technicians and electrical engineers fix the cause rather than the symptom. Prioritising by severity means the most serious issues are handled first, not whichever was reported loudest.
Which standards does Substation Audit App support for substation work?
Substation Audit App keeps substation checks aligned to IEC 62271 and local electrical codes. The photos each standard expects are required fields, so an incomplete check cannot be closed and a gap is caught before an assessor finds it. When a review is due, hv/lv technicians and electrical engineers pull the records for the site in scope with one search instead of rebuilding them from folders. Retention and history stay searchable, so proof remains defensible at any point, not only on the day of an audit.
Can teams run substation checks offline and across multiple sites?
Yes. Substation Audit App is offline-first: teams complete substation checks on iOS or Android with no signal, capturing photos and the evidence each check requires in the field. Each record syncs automatically when the connection returns, with its timestamp intact, and the same template runs on every site. So hv/lv technicians and electrical engineers get a live view of what is complete, overdue, or failing per location, and a weak connection in a remote or low-signal area never costs a round or loses a photo.
What evidence proves a substation audit was completed?
Every completed substation audit carries relay status photo, mechanism cycle note, and ir scan, a GPS location, a timestamp, and a named sign-off. Because the evidence is captured during the round rather than typed up afterwards, hv/lv technicians and electrical engineers can show exactly what was checked, when, and by whom. When an assessor or client asks, the record exports in seconds as a branded PDF or a searchable history, so proof never depends on someone remembering where a photo was saved or which folder holds last quarter's records.
