SUBSTATION MAINTENANCE
Substation maintenance is a key part of any plant's maintenance program. Failures in key components such as racking mechanisms, meters, relays and busses are the most common cause of unplanned outages. ... Having a maintenance program is essential to equipment reliability.
Maintenance Schedules and Documentation
Complete, accurate and current documentation are essential for an effective maintenance program. Whether performing preventive, or reliability-centered maintenance, keeping track of equipment condition and maintenance- performed and planned is critical to the life expectancy of your electrical equipment.

CERTIFIED THERMOGRAPHER
Infrared Thermography is a critical piece of the maintenance lifecycle of electrical equipment. By looking for specific heat signatures, we can locate failing components, loose or worn connections, unbalanced loads, and more without shutting down operations. This allows us to catch hazards before they become dangerous and enhance your preventative maintenance strategy.
Even Brand New Equipment Can Have Defects
Thermography can tell you whether new equipment is installed correctly or contains factory defects. Points of high resistance and inductive heating can find installation flaws or bad components before they become dangerous and expensive issues.
