Electrical Maintenance
Electrical Outages Impact Business
The average facility experiences 100 electrical disturbances/transients per month. The result – System downtime. Shortened equipment life. Added expenses. Businesses need to know the true cost of electrical outages and how they can better maintain their electrical systems.
Power Quality Report & Analysis
With Bowtie Engineering’s Electrical Maintenance Service, organizations receive a true snapshot of their electrical systems. Our electrical engineering experts conduct a complete power quality audit on equipment with photographs and corresponding infrared images to document any apparent electrical concerns or deficiencies.
The Bowtie Power Quality Report and Analysis includes:
- Infared (IR) thermography
- NFPA 70 B testing
- Monitoring, measuring, and recording real-time electrical conditions in an electrical distribution system
- Break down of KW, kVAR, PF, voltage, amperage, harmonics and transients
- Testing and measurement resultsi>
- Field data documentation
- Identification of needed upgrades, retrofits and alterations
- Appropriate electrical system solutions and recommendations of services
