High Voltage Service & Repair – Electrical Testing & Services

High Voltage Service & RepairComprehensive electrical testing services are essential for the safe operation and maintenance of high-voltage equipment. Thorough checks during manufacturing and installation prevent a variety of regulatory and facility-related issues so that equipment can be commissioned and online as soon as possible.

If a problem develops, tests can make an accurate diagnosis that leads to faster repairs. As part of a quarterly and annual maintenance plan, substation testing can prevent potential problems and extend the life of high-voltage equipment.

High-Voltage Service & Repair

Equisales performs electrical testing during assembly and installation. Field testing services are also available to maintain and repair equipment on an as-needed basis. Our experienced technicians receive advanced training and follow industry best practices to diagnose and repair equipment efficiently. Emergency testing and repair services are ideal for time-critical issues when a fast response is essential to avoid downtime and costly delays.

Repairs and maintenance can be competed in the field when possible. Oil processing, vacuum filling, leak correction and re-gasketing can be performed quickly by our technicians. Other repairs that require additional services or remanufacturing will be executed at our state-of-the-art facilities. While work is completed, we can install emergency replacements and short-term rentals that sustain operations. Alternative solutions might be available depending on the nature of the facility and the reported problem.

Electrical Testing Services for Substations & Transformers

We have the equipment and personnel needed to complete electrical and mechanical testing during installation and maintenance. General inspections and design checks are just as important as equipment-specific procedures for high-voltage transformers, circuit breakers and switches. The following services can be customized for the age and type of facility.

  • Substation configurations are assessed for design compliance.
  • Nameplates are reviewed for voltage and current ratings.
  • Transformer field testing verifies the proper installation of parts and capacitors.
  • Transformers are tested for operation in extreme temperatures.
  • Internal pressure is monitored for sudden changes.
  • High-voltage connections and terminals are checked for tightness.
  • Isolators, disconnectors and earthing switches are tested for mechanical operation.
  • Gas and oil levels are inspected to verify specifications and pressure.
  • Thermographic imaging and infrared inspections detect leaks and hot spots.
  • Transformer oil and insulating fluids are tested to confirm their dielectric strength.
  • Results from a dissolved gas analysis (DGA) are reviewed to determine the need for oil

processing and maintenance.
Additional tests must be performed before high-voltage equipment is commissioned and operational. Circuit breakers are tested to verify the minimum current required to operate short-circuit controls. They undergo tests that measure over-voltage endurance, contact resistance, mechanical operation, tightness and gas leakage. Transformers must pass a general inspection as well as tests that measure the insulation resistance, polarity and turns ratio.
