Testing & Diagnostic Services
RESA Power is a reliable and safe power systems testing company for all required testing. We make sure your new or revamped electrical system will operate as it was designed, so you can minimize start-up delays and costly electrical deficiency issues. Trust the professionals at RESA Power to provide a comprehensive high voltage testing plan for maximum productivity for your equipment.
Electrical Acceptance Testing & Commissioning
New equipment requires electrical acceptance testing and a thorough examination after being installed and wired into your environment. Insurance companies may require electrical acceptance testing before your new electrical equipment is energized to verify that it meets code requirements and satisfies the intent of the application.
According to electrical equipment manufacturers, up to 30% of new electrical equipment fails to operate properly due to mishandling, improper installation, construction debris, and dust. Acceptance testing will protect the validity of your manufacturer’s warranty through non-biased, independent testing and will set a benchmark by which future equipment testing can be compared.
The start-up of any electrical system is a unique occurrence and could expose some outstanding problems. Commissioning by qualified RESA Power professionals can verify proper operation and identify installation problems to assure total system performance.
RESA Power Service offers power system commissioning and acceptance testing. We make sure your new or revamped electrical system will operate as it was designed to so you can minimize start-up delays and costly electrical deficiency issues.
Services include:
- High current testing
- Relay testing
- Doble power factor testing
- Full electrical testing
- Partial discharge cable testing
Acceptance Testing
Confirm your newly installed electrical equipment, switches and connections meet all design and function standards with our electrical systems testing. RESA Power Service will follow NETA’s standards to validate that new or retrofitted electrical equipment is performing to the manufacturer’s specifications. Electrical systems testing of equipment before energization will prevent damage to other components and ensure the safety of your personnel. This power system testing allows for a baseline report and error-free operations before start up.
