Power System Audit
Power System Audit | Analysis | Load Flow
Power system audits are conducted to ensure that a business is operating in the safest and most efficient manner possible. They can be used to help reduce energy consumption, detect potentially hazardous conditions, and improve the reliability of a facility’s supply.
Power system audit is a systematic process of evaluating the condition of an electrical distribution system and its components. It is typically performed by a licensed electrician or technician using various instruments. The purpose of the audit is to identify any problems with the system, and to recommend appropriate course of action for correcting those problems.
There are three main categories of components that can be inspected during an audit:
- Power transformers (also known as "power boxes" or "busbars"), which convert electricity from high voltage to low voltage
- Transformers, which convert electricity from one voltage level to another
- Switches and circuit breakers, which are used to control the flow of electricity in a circuit.
Power system audits are used to determine the effectiveness of your power system. They’re also used to identify any issues that could cause power outages and to ensure that systems are working properly.
A power audit should include:
- Power supply
- Distribution equipment
- Control systems
- Emergency preparedness plan
- Maintenance procedures
Power system audit is important because it helps to detect any issues with the power system and fix them quickly. It also helps in keeping the electricity supply stable, which prevents power outages. In addition, it helps to maintain a safe and reliable electricity supply for your customers.
Power system audits are important because they help you:
- Identify problems and potential issues with your power system, so that you can take preventative measures to avoid future issues
- Make informed decisions about what to do if an issue arises, such as whether to spend money on repairs or replacement parts
- Document your findings for future reference
WIRE’s technicians conduct a Power system Audit or analysis of the power entering and distributed throughout the facility. As a full-service electrical specializing exclusively in critical power systems, we can identify and correct a wide range of problems, including voltage sags and surges, transient load spikes, harmonics and frequency abnormalities.
Power System Audits includes:
- Examine all drawings and documentation and prepare a list of all required documentation updates.
- Complete site survey.
- Analysis of system in terms of load flow, volt drops, breaker and cable ratings, fault levels, stability and motor starting.
- Checking the condition of switchgear, cabling, bus bars, transformers and other major electrical installations.
- Protection System Audit.
- Preparation of full report, a controlled document.
