Overview
Predictive Electrical Safety Maintenance is a proactive approach designed to detect early warning signs of failures, unsafe conditions, or power inefficiencies.
Unplanned electrical failures can lead to costly downtime, equipment damage, and safety risks. Predictive Electrical Safety Maintenance helps businesses detect and resolve potential issues before they lead to critical failures and business disruptions, ensuring uninterrupted operations.
This method leverages cutting-edge inspection methods to identify system anomalies while equipment remains energized (operational), ensuring zero downtime and continuous operation. At C&H Electric, we take an innovative, compliance-driven approach to predictive maintenance, ensuring your systems adhere to NFPA 70E, OSHA, and NFPA 70B standards.
Key Inspection Methods
Predictive Electrical Safety Maintenance at C&H Electric includes a combination of four essential testing methods to provide a comprehensive assessment of your electrical system’s condition:
Infrared Thermography
This method is used to detect heat anomalies in electrical systems. By identifying overheated circuits, loose connections, and insulation breakdowns, infrared thermography prevents potential equipment failures, reducing the risk of costly unplanned downtime.
Best For: Identifying overheating components and load imbalances.
Ultrasonic Testing
Ultrasonic Testing complements Infrared Thermography by detecting electrical arcing, tracking, and corona discharge—faults that produce sound waves outside the range of human hearing. This method is essential for uncovering hidden issues in electrical equipment.
Best For: Identifying Arcing, tracking, loose connections, and insulation breakdowns not visible to the naked eye.
Voltage & Current Analysis
Voltage and current analysis are used to assess power quality, detect harmonic distortion, imbalances, or faulty connections, and ensure a stable power supply. By monitoring electrical parameters, this method helps predict equipment failures caused by unstable electrical loads.
Best For: Identifying power fluctuations, harmonics, load imbalances
Visual Inspection
Regular Visual Inspections help identify physical wear, corrosion, overheating, and safety hazards that could lead to system failures. This hands-on assessment ensures that electrical components are properly installed, maintained, and compliant with safety regulations.
Best For: Identifying visible faults like damaged wiring, and grounding issues, and Compliance Issues.
