Infrared Thermography

At Action, we use a state of the art infrared camera to measure and take pictures of your electrical equipment. This allows us to identify high-resistance electrical connections, defective circuit breakers, current overload conditions, and defective insulator conditions. Infrared thermography allows us to reduce the risk of loss of power - such as in brown-out conditions - as well as safety and fire hazards that may be caused by high-resistant or loose connections. Identifying these conditions protects your business from downtime, loss of production, and equipment failures and fires.

Ultrasonic Testing

By measuring and recording sound waves and/or vibrations that are above audible sound, we are able to determine if there is corona discharge, tracking, arcing or vibration present. By using ultrasonic testing, we are able to assure the quality and integrity of your electrical system. Used to complement the infrared testing, ultrasonic testing can uncover additional problems that infrared imaging cannot see.

Voltage and Current Diagnostics

Harmonics Testing

Capture and record Total Harmonic Distortion of Voltage (THDV) and Total Harmonic distortion of Current (THDC) that exceed IEEE standards and recommendations. This testing is used to determine if your harmonic contaminations are within acceptable tolerance levels. Harmonics can cause neutral conductors to overheat, damage to transformer, and failure of motors. High heating loads caused by excessive harmonic content has been known to cause fires, and can damage electronic microprocessor based equipment.

True RMS Testing

By determining if the correct voltage and amperage is present to properly operate your equipment and optimize its life cycle, we can reduce the incidence of low/high voltages or amperages that can damage your electrical equipment. How do we do it? We capture and record the square root of the average square of the instantaneous magnitude of the voltage and current.

Voltage Sag Testing

Voltage sags are a momentary decrease in voltage, and are considered to be the most prominent power quality problem. They cause systems to shut down, and can be a factor in the high costs related to loss of productivity.  We test for this by taking either instantaneous readings or by measuring voltage sag over a period of time. 

Voltage Surge Testing

When electrical distribution systems experience voltage surges and transients, premature data transmission disruptions, computer malfunctions, premature equipment failure, and catastrophic damage can occur. By taking instantaneous readings or by measuring voltage surges over a period of time, we are able to help prevent the destruction caused by voltage surges.

Voltage Drop Testing

Voltage drop testing determines if the electrical components, like disconnect knife switches, fuse clips, circuit breakers, etc., have a higher than 100Mv voltage drop across the measured points. High voltage drop means the contact points can overheat, but by testing, measuring and recording, fire hazards and destruction of the electrical device can be prevented.

Phase Balance Testing

A phase balancing test allows us to address unbalanced components that increase power-quality problems, total harmonic distortion as well as increased temperature rise of devices and current-carrying conductors.

Power Quality Analysis

Correcting Power Factor issues can save you money. By testing and analyzing your electrical systems, we'll be able to identify areas that need to be corrected.
