Power Monitoring & Quality Audits

TDE has qualified engineers and technicians capable of installing power monitors/meters on low-voltage to high-voltage power systems. The data recorded can help troubleshoot issues such as voltage, faults, harmonics, and transients. Power monitoring can also be used on power systems to monitor the system load and plan for future expansions.

SPECIALTY SERVICES

  • Power Monitoring: This includes simple monitoring for load studies and advanced power conditioning monitoring for detecting defective power availability. Customers that require detailed analysis of voltage irregularities (unbalanced voltage, voltage spikes, fluctuation voltages, etc.) and amperage problems (current transients, current imbalance, current sag, etc.) will need advanced power monitoring equipment such as the Dranetz. This type of machine, along with an experienced electrical engineer, will reveal the most difficult to detect problems.
  • Power Equipment Condition Assessments: The condition of the power distribution system is vital to the owner and the operator. Without an analysis of the condition of your electrical equipment, it is unsafe and unreliable to operate.
  • Partial Discharge: This work includes data collection and analysis using Iris coupling capacitors.
  • Synchronous Machines: This service provides complete testing of the main stator winding as well as the voltage drop on large rotating DC fields, diode ring, and sync-pack analysis. TDE is the only company in the Southern California area qualified and equipped to repair rotating equipment in place.
