Fast, Precise Reporting of Malfunctions and Potential Issues
Importance of Maintaining the Integrity of Electrical Distribution Panels
Industrial electrical installations are very complex because they are designed to deliver power to a broad range of mission-critical equipment such as automatic controls, telecom systems, process machinery, HVAC systems, and lighting. It is extremely important that the distribution panels are regularly checked and maintained so that a smooth flow of power is available at all times, and that potential issues are pinpointed before they become more serious and cause business interruptions or costly equipment failure.
Regular maintenance of the numerous panels located at a large facility requires full-time personnel who can conduct quick and reliable measurements as well as properly analyze the recorded data to make presumptions and predictions that can avoid expensive repairs and prevent shutdowns.
