Engineering
Consultancy
Professional engineering expertise is available to assist, advise and to make recommendations to our customers, on any aspect of their requirements relating to: -
- Electrical system planning , design and specifications
- Earth grid design and maintenance
- Equipment performance evaluation
- Risk analysis
- High voltage safety audits and reports
- Failure investigation
- System modelling
- Operating procedures
- Asset management
Electrical Systems Analysis
Employing the latest computer software our electrical engineers will undertake protection system analysis and grading studies designed to ensure an electrical network system that will ensure maximum performance whist minimising interruptions to the supply in the event of a fault occurring.
Services available include: -
- Network Analysis
- Relay protection settings
- Protection advice
- Sensitivity analysis
- Cable loading and fault diagnosis
- Impedance recommendations
- Power factor correction sizing & recommendations
- Load sharing analysis
- Tariff compliance’s and load shedding recommendations
- Design consultancy
Harmonic
Analysis
Employing the latest three phase power metering technology our engineers are able to carry out the measurement and analysis of active power networks including harmonics, surges, transients and dips in supply that will if uncorrected cause incorrect equipment operation and premature failure.
Undertaking harmonic analysis will provide up to date information on the level of waveform distortion before and after the connection of major plant and equipment such as to ensure compliance’s with the latest International and European Norm standards.
The outcomes arising from the undertaking of a harmonic analysis study would be: -
- Predictive failure of computer or electronic process
- Equipment
- Data corruption and software failure
- Nuisance tripping of protection devices
- Incorrect operation of electronic process control equipment
- Communication interface problems
- Incorrect operation of Thyristor and IGBT devices
- Interface with other power users connected to the same network
- Failure of electronic equipment hardware
Installation,
Testing & Commissioning
We are able to offer to our customers a comprehensive service package comprising the full electrical installation build, testing, and underground commissioning of all items of plant.
Our experienced team of fully qualified engineers employs the latest Test Equipment Technology to ensure all items of plant are installed in accordance with the relevant country and international standards thereby ensuring operator safety and maximised system performance.
