State-of-the-art Equipment
Thermographic Surveys...
• Long wave system, which is less susceptible to reflections, allows accurate temperature measurement in adverse environments.
• Measurements from -10°C to +1500°C with ±0.1°C accuracy.
• Scanning distances up to 60 feet.
• Immediate preliminary analysis.
• Details potentially hazardous problems.

• Insulation resistance• Shield continuity• DC hipot• AC hipot• Tan-Delta• VLF• Partial Discharge• 3 Lead Cable Engineers
VLF / Tan Delta
• Great Baseline Test!• IEEE 400.2 Standard• Maximum voltage of 44k Vrms• True sine wave low frequency output• Capable of testing 1microfarad at .01Hz and 60 kV peak• We’ve done over 40,000 feet
Partial Discharge Testing
• IEEE 400.3 Standard• Best Used for NEW Installations
– Workmanship defects• Signal attenuation is the limitation for all PD Testing.
Attenuation occurs >5k feet, splices, joints, etc. increase attenuation– Millivolt Signal– No Power Limitation!!
• 0 PD is the Limit– 6pC or 6000 the test specimen fails– Test Technician needs to differentiate between noise
and signal• Does Not Work for Tape Shielded Cable
And More
• Ground grid testing• DC Systems• Ultrasound• Radio Interference• Voltage Regulators• Optical Metering Units• And More!
