Breaker Testing and Maintenance
Travel and timing tests on circuit breakers are essential to ensure their proper operation and reliability. These tests verify that breakers open and close within specified time and travel limits, crucial for responding quickly to electrical faults and protecting the system. By assessing the physical movement and operational speed, these tests identify wear, misalignment, or obstructions in the mechanical components. Regular testing allows for predictive maintenance, helping to detect early signs of degradation and reducing the risk of unexpected failures. Ultimately, these tests ensure the safety and efficiency of electrical systems.
Thermal Imaging and Partial Discharge
Infrared cameras are used to detect hotspots and uneven temperature distribution, indicating potential issues such as overloading or poor connection. We also use a partial discharge camera which uses microphones to detect partial discharge caused by defects in the insulation, degradation of insulation, contaminants and moisture, and electric stress, improper installation or assembly, aging equipment. Partial discharge can lead to further degradation of insulation material, eventually causing equipment failure, if not detected and addressed in a timely manner. Regular monitoring and maintenance are crucial to managing partial discharge risks in electrical systems.
Emergency Testing
Faults happen, we can be there to give you are an insight on your equipments health after a fault. We can also provide DGA and oil quality testing once a year, or even after a fault. That way you can prepare for a potential problem in the future
