OFFERING SOLUTIONS THAT MAKE A DIFFERENCE
We create innovative engineering solutions for our clients across a variety of industries. Our services include Electrical Audits, Engineering, Design and Testing, and are meticulously designed to provide efficient and sustainable solutions and results over long periods of time.
AUDITS
Documenting, analysis, action plan with recommendations
The audit process includes the creation of general arrangement and single line diagrams and a software model of the system. Reporting includes a full bill of materials, maximum demand calculations, cable schedules and cable size calculations, including time current curves for every protection device in the system.
The Single Line Diagram contains short-circuit fault levels, percentage voltage drop, prospective touch potential, incident energy and PPE level at every major bus and multi-phase load. Short-circuit fault levels, percentage voltage drop and prospective touch potential are detailed for all single-phase loads.
LIGHTING AUDITS
Workplace, emergency lighting, sport fields, showgrounds
A lighting audit is an investigative process that measures actual conditions against standards to confirm conformance to standard or to determine where changes should be made.
The type, quantity, location and height of lamps and fixtures are recorded and detailed measurements of illumination levels are taken with a light meter, both at task areas and for general overall lighting. Possible areas for improvements are noted during the audit.
POWER QUALITY
Recording, analysis, reporting
Power Quality is an important issue for electricity consumers at all levels of usage, particularly industries and the services sector. There is extensive use of electronic equipment and other non-linear loads in industry, commercial and domestic applications. In these environments, problems like power surges/sags, poor voltage and frequency regulation, harmonics, switching transients, electrical noise and Electro-Magnetic Interference (EMI) are frequently encountered. This leads to damage of capital-intensive appliances, safety concerns, loss of reliability and above all an economic loss.
Electrical Audits & Compliance Engineering can provide a complete service to the client ensuring power quality is at standard.
