Switchgear/Switchboard Replacements & Additions

What Are Electrical Services for Switchgear/Switchboard Replacements & Additions?

Ultrasonic testing consists of different non-destructive testing techniques that send ultrasonic waves through an object or material. As you transmit high-frequency sound waves into specific materials, they can characterize the material or detect flaws that may affect its function. The main electrical issues that ultrasonic testing detects are partial discharge, arcing, and tracking.

There are three main types of ultrasonic testing. They are through transmission, pulse echo, and resonance. We use state-of-the-art ultrasonic testing equipment for accurate results every time.

Why Is Ultrasonic Testing Important?

Ultrasonic testing is ideal for detecting flaws and defects without damaging the object or material you test. Craft Electric & Maintenance believes it is vital to identify and potentially prevent the failure of a part, component, or an entire asset before it creates a safety hazard or an unscheduled shutdown. Here are additional benefits of ultrasonic testing:

• Use ultrasonic testing as a measure of safety to determine if unsafe conditions exist within an enclosure before removing covers
• Ultrasonic testing, when used properly, can detect problems that don’t always manifest themselves with other forms of testing
• Use ultrasonic testing to find costly compressed air leaks or compressed gas leaks
• Ultrasonic testing is a tool used to complement other methods of testing and troubleshooting

How Can Craft Electric & Maintenance Help With Ultrasonic
Testing?

Craft Electric & Maintenance can help companies keep their equipment operational by using nondestructive ultrasonic testing regimens to determine the need for maintenance or repairs. Ultrasonic testing is one of the most common, useful, and cost-effective testing methods available. Here’s how ultrasonic testing helps our clients:

• Our level 1 ultrasonic certified technicians use a UE probe to detect corona, arcing, and tracking 
• Take recordings of any anomalies that we hear and have them analyzed further using a spectralyzer
• Pinpoint the location of a discharge quickly and easily
• Detect and report flaws in the material that can lead to asset failure

What Type of Ultrasonic Testing Reporting Do We
Provide?

Craft Electric & Maintenance generates documentation of their findings and recommendations for corrective action. We use various maintenance and testing methods based on recommended industry standards. 

Our trained commercial electricians may use an Ultraprobe to check the sound quality of high frequency sounds for analyzing through ultrasound spectrum analysis software. If no observable indicators are present, we provide a record of our findings and offer continued maintenace of your equipment. If our technicians flag any issues, we provide our recommendations for action or for future retesting.
