Lack
of maintenance can result in major and dangerous situations. A problem
in the 34.5kV electrical vault outside a major class A high-rise building
caused the main power to be shut down for 8 hours while the utility changed
the damaged high voltage splice. The force of the explosion lifted
the concrete pad sending debris to be scattered throughout the area. The
electrical power to a facility is the heart beat of any building. Power
for computers, HVAC, and building automation rely on a well maintained
electrical system. With regular scheduled maintenance the reliability
of an electrical system is increased. The standard for this maintenance
is governed by NETA (InterNational Electrical Testing Association). Their
experience and board of qualified P.E. and Ph set the standard for increases
in electrical safety and reliability. Click the link below to view
