Electrical Condition Monitoring & Preventative Maintenance

High voltage Power Stations

High voltage power stations and sub-stations should be regularly surveyed to closely inspect insulators, transformers, capacitors and all mechanical connectors that are all exposed to the environment.

• HVAC/R Contractors
• Facility Indoor Climate
• Independent Engineers
• Other Building Contractors
• Dehumidification Services

• Building Analysis regarding energy efficiency
  (air leakage, thermal bridges, faults in isolation) resp. result checking after restauration
• Energy Studies
  Analysis of mould damages resp. endangered building components
• Analysis of HVAC installations

A thermal imager provides a visualisation of heat, often invisible to the naked eye, which provides a quantitative analysis of temperature rise.  A thermal imager can display and record temperature differences as low as 0.3°C which is far above the sensitivity required to detect electrical faults. A warm wire in a bundle of wires or amongst hundreds of terminals will be immediately detected and displayed. Overheated components or components that are breaking down and visually normal to an electrician will also be immediately apparent to a thermal imager operator.

Preventative maintenance surveys can save on-line breakdowns, delivery schedules and in the long term significant costs. Horton Levi offers a range of survey options including sales of equipment and on site training.
