How do you find leakage, signs of corona and other invisible problems without shutting down your entire electrical distribution system? With ultrasonics and other inspection tools.

Experienced HVM technicians use ultrasonics to conduct a complete survey of electrical assets as part of a thorough predictive maintenance strategy. Without affecting your operations, they can listen for telltale signs of developing problems, such as corona, high voltage discharge, arcing and tracking.

In medium and high voltage situations, ultrasonic technology allows us to find tracking on the outside of a cable or tracking over an insulator. The ultrasonic instrument detects sound outside the range of human hearing—such as high frequency popping and cracking—and pinpoints the exact location. If not caught and repaired early, these anomalies can destroy the insulator or jacket of the cable and result in a breakdown or explosion.

With ultrasonics and other advanced technologies, HVM can find small problems before they become large, expensive ones, potentially saving you thousands of dollars.

Features & Benefits
l Enables planned maintenance rather than emergency repairs
l Conducted while equipment is energized and operating, avoiding disruption of operations
l Eliminates potentially catastrophic losses due to equipment failures from electrical fires or
l other serious results when problems are not found with traditional maintenance methods
l Extends equipment life through early diagnosis and subsequent repair.
l Promotes safety in the workplace since personnel are not exposed to faulty equipment
l Reduces equipment failures, protecting your capital equipment investment
