Circuit Breaker Testing,
Inspection, Certification, Service and Repair.
-
An estimation today is that nearly 20% of all power distribution failures are due to faulty and poorly maintained circuit breakers and switchboards.
-
Circuit breakers perform a vital role in protecting expensive equipment from damage through faults and is an essential and cost-effective part of any maintenance strategy.
-
Regular inspections and analysis are recommended to prevent problems from developing and identifies the need for maintenance.
How.
-
Test of insulation resistance, inspection internally and externally, test of parts and components of the breaker both manually and electrically to ensure functionality and the breaker’s ability to open and close without mechanical failure.
-
Induce secondary injection of overcurrent to the trip unit to ensure that protection relays operate as intended and has the ability to break in normal load conditions or short circuit conditions and that the trip curve is within its specifications.
Benefits.
-
Extended equipment life by following stringent maintenance guidelines.
-
Reduce the cost of repair by taking preventative maintenance measures.
-
Minimize costly breakdowns, unplanned shutdowns of production equipment.
-
Increase dependability.
Test kits we use:
With the use of a PC and FFTK report generator software we
print the trip unit and circuit breaker test report
and leave a full
inspections report.
