Preventive Maintenance Testing is performed to help ensure that electrical equipment installed in your plant or building is maintained and kept at peak performance. Baseline Data is set in Preventive Maintenance Testing to help in predicting and avoiding failures as older equipment ages over time.
Our highly trained NETA Certified team of technicians will perform every test to the NETA Standard to help insure that each piece of equipment from Circuit Breakers to Transformers is tested properly to the NETA Standards which have been developed after years of recording data.
Key aspects include:
- Visual inspections: Checking for signs of damage, loose connections, overheating, corrosion, or wear on cables, wires, and components.
- Insulation resistance testing: Measuring the electrical resistance of insulation to identify potential weaknesses.
- Grounding resistance testing: Verifying the effectiveness of grounding connections.
- Circuit breaker testing: Checking the proper operation of circuit breakers and safety devices.
- Motor testing: Evaluating motor performance, including current draw, vibration, and temperature.
- Transformer testing: Monitoring transformer oil levels, temperature, and winding resistance.
- Infrared thermography: Using infrared cameras to detect hot spots on electrical components that could indicate potential problems.
- Load bank testing: Testing the capacity of generators and UPS systems under load conditions.
Benefits of preventive maintenance testing:
-
Reduced downtime:By identifying issues early, repairs can be done proactively, minimizing disruptions to operations.
-
Improved safety:Detecting potential electrical hazards before they escalate can prevent electrical accidents.
-
Cost savings:Early detection and repair can save money on costly repairs and replacements due to unexpected failures.
-
Enhanced equipment lifespan:Regular maintenance can extend the lifespan of electrical equipment.
