What Are Voltage & Current Diagnostics?
Voltage and current diagnostics measure the voltage and current present in electrical circuits to ensure they are safe and equipment is operating efficiently. Voltage is the pressure or electromotive force from the power source of an electrical circuit. Current is the flow of the electric charge through the circuit. Volts (V) measure voltage and amperes or amps (A) measure current.
There are two primary currents types: AC and DC (Alternating Current & Direct Current).
When it comes to injuries or life-threatening situations, the current causes the damage. Still, there must be voltage to drive the current, so professional diagnostics on both elements are necessary. At Craft Electric & Maintenance, we will provide full voltage and current diagnostic testing and measurement in your facility so your equipment and employees are always safe.
Why Are Voltage & Current Diagnostics Important?
It is very important to measure and interpret current & voltage diagnostics at regular intervals to ensure the safety of employees and equipment reliability. Craft Electric & Maintenance is prepared to provide you with these services. In many cases, the simultaneous measurement of current and voltage across the load can reveal the root cause of problems and issues that need to be addressed and reduce the risk associated with failure.It is vital to identify voltage and current problems before they become major issues that can create a safety hazard and an unscheduled shutdown.
Voltage and current diagnostics are a great way to assess capacity for future expansion or system additions. Craft Electric & Maintenance handles updating electrical systems as a necessary part of the expansion/addition process.
How Can Craft Electric & Maintenance Help With Voltage and Current Diagnostics?
Craft Electric & Maintenance recommends that voltage and current be measured and evaluated every three years while performing routine predictive and preventive maintenance/testing. Our team of qualified technicians can help ensure the safety of your employees and equipment by:
- Tracking and trending values over time for degradation
- Identifing over and under voltages
- Identifing overload conditions
- Identifing available ampacity for future growth
Contact Craft Electric & Maintenance to schedule an onsite evaluation to identify equipment critical to a facility’s process.
What Type of Voltage and Current Diagnostics Reporting Do We
Provide?
NFPA 70E, Article 205.3 states: Electrical equipment shall be maintained in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions or industry consensus standards to reduce the risk associated with failure. The equipment owner or owner’s designated representative shall be responsible for maintenance of the electrical equipment and documentation.
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.
