Commissioned Systems Electrical Distribution Equipment TIME Fire/ Life Safety Systems • Project completed on schedule • Fewer change orders • Faster startup and operation COSTS • Project completed on budget • Reduced operating costs • Energy efficiency savings Lighting Controls AVAILABILITY Mechanical/ HVAC Systems • Integrated systems testing ensures operational reliability • Training / documentation prepares O&M staff for take over • Recommended maintenance programs ensure peak performance Structural Systems Monitoring / Control Systems

11. Preventive & Predictive Maintenance • 60% of breakdowns are traced to poor maintenance • 25% of fires and explosions are electrically induced • Predictive and preventive maintenance can foresee problems well in advance of impending failure • Enables better management of assets The power to predict is the difference between operation and failure.

12. IEEE Failure Statistics – Equipment Type

13. Preventive & Predictive Maintenance • Reduces unplanned outages • Improves system performance • Avoids costly breakdowns • Saves lives & reduces work place injuries • Provides best use of maintenance $’s Reliability based maintenance is a comprehensive balanced strategy that:

14. Reliability vs. Maintenance Cost

15. Preventive Maintenance Services • Transformer Testing • Circuit Breaker Testing • Switchgear Inspection & Testing • Cable Verification and Testing • Protective Relay Testing & Verification • Ground System Testing & Verification • Automatic Transfer Switch Testing • Backup Generator Testing and Inspection • Battery System Testing and Inspection Ensure older equipment’s performance safety and reliability with:

16. Transformer Tests & Services • On-site Inspection • Insulation Testing / Assessment • Doble – Power Factor Testing • Nitrogen Blanket Gas Analysis • Oil Reconditioning / Processing • Winding Resistance Testing • Winding Turn’s Ratio • Tap Changer Repair / Replacement • Leak Repairs • Insulating Fluid Analysis (DGA, Moisture, Condition) • Gasket / Bushing Repair Ensure optimum system performance, efficiency and safety with Transformer Services including:

17. Circuit Breaker Testing • Benefits • Reduces equipment repair/replacement cost • Enables planned maintenance instead of emergency repairs • Promotes safety in the workplace (personnel not exposed to faulty equipment) • Regulatory compliance – NFPA 70B & NFPA 70E

18. Circuit Breaker Testing • Scope of Work • Measure & record contact resistance with low resistance ohmmeter • Perform insulation resistance test on each pole, phase to phase and phase to ground • Perform insulation resistance on all control wiring with respect to ground • Test and verify fault current pickup and breaker operation & timing for all functions (long-time, short-time, instantaneous and ground fault) with primary current injection • Test trip unit functionality by secondary current injection testing • Perform minimum pickup voltage test on shunt trip and close coils

21. Cable Testing Services Cable testing technology for every application and cable type according to IEEE Std 400 • DC Hipot (High potential) • AC Hipot • Very Low Frequency (VLF) Hipot • Partial Discharge • Dissipation Factor (Tan delta)

22. Ground Testing & Ground Safety • Impact of proper Grounding on Protective Device operation • Ground Protection vs. GFCI • On-site Inspection & Testing Verification of a solid ground connection is important for Safety and proper operation of the electrical system protection scheme.

23. Predictive Maintenance Services • Thermography (Infrared Inspection). • Oil / Gas Analysis • Ultra-Sonics (Medium Voltage) • Online Resistance Testing (Voltage Drop) • On-line Partial Discharge Testing Identifies system deficiencies, potential failures for corrective action planning.

24. Thermography (Infrared Inspection) • Enables planned maintenance with the appropriate urgency • Eliminates potentially catastrophic losses due to equipment failures • Extends equipment lifecycle through early diagnosis and subsequent repair • Allows you to prioritize maintenance investment on problem areas • Conducted while equipment is energized and operating, avoiding disruption of operations. • Promotes safety in the workplace since personnel are not exposed to faulty equipment

25. Partial Discharge Testing • Partial Discharge Testing can detect insulation defects (as result of installation or manufacturing) or insulation deterioration due to normal operating conditions • Partial discharge testing is a PREDICTIVE, qualitative analysis tool that can warn of potential upcoming failure • It can locate problem areas (cable, splices, terminations, bus insulation, contamination) in all medium voltage systems • Partial discharge test results can be trended over time. The overpotential type testing is a “go-no-go” test (cable either fails or not).Unlike traditional overpotential testing, partial discharge testing is not destructive to the insulation system.

26. On-line Partial Discharge Testing • Partial discharge testing results can help predict future performance and reliability of critical assets (5KV and above) • OLPD Testing is an essential piece of a system maintenance program to meet reliability / uptime objectives • Equipment to be analyzed: • Power Distribution Systems Operating > 5KV • Shielded Cables • Cable Accessories (Terminations & Splices) • Switchgear • Large Motors and Generators

27. Electrical Systems are Engineered Electrical systems are designed. Any modifications need to be evaluated and calculated. Engineering is necessary to help find the root cause of lost performance in existing assets, extend the life of equipment, and improve system protection and personnel safety. • Short Circuit / Coordination Studies • Power Quality • Load Flow Studies • Harmonic Analysis • Power Factor Studies • Grounding Studies • Transient Stability Studies • Voltage Imbalance / Regulation Studies • Power System Reliability Studies • System Efficiency Assessments • Arc Flash Studies

28. NFPA 70E Compliance for Safety • Equipment Arc Flash Hazard Labeling • Site information verification (data collection) • Single Line Diagram Update • Coordination study • Short Circuit Analysis • Preventive Maintenance Program • Training • Routine updates with changes (minimum 5-year update) Arc Flash Safety Requires each site to have an Arc Flash Study performed. A complete compliance program involves:

29. Training • Time Constraints • Financial Resources • Skilled Labor Attrition Workforce challenges: Comprehensive training programs can be the most effective way to address these challenges.

30. InterNational Electrical Testing Association • The InterNational Electrical Testing Association (NETA) was formed in 1972 to establish uniform testing procedures for electrical equipment and apparatus. • NETA specifications are a guide for specifying and performing the necessary tests to ensure that electrical systems and apparatus perform satisfactorily, minimizing downtime and maximizing life expectancy. These are the ANSI accepted Industry Standard Practices.

31. NETA Certification Benefits • Technician Qualifications • Certification Levels – Testing • CEUs • Staff Engineering – PE License Requirements • Calibrated Test Equipment • Testing Standards and Procedures • Report Requirements – PE Review • Independent – Not associated with Switchgear Manufacturers • Business focus on Electrical Testing
