Before anyone turns
the power on, you’ve got to know if there’s any existing equipment damage or
short circuits that will “go boom!” So when working with a customer’s medium
voltage distribution system, our AC Hi-Potential Testing equipment can detect short
circuits and ground faults to avoid further damaging equipment or subjecting
electricians to the dangers of an arc flash – and the likely resulting
explosion.
The capability to test the integrity of transformers,
switches and cables at a voltage equal to or greater than the operating voltage
is extremely critical in order to maximize safety before power is applied from
the electric distribution system. Arc
flash accidents occurs every year in the U.S., and many industrial
electricians have been severely burned or killed as a result of the ensuing
flash and/or blast. As Wichita’s Safest Electricians, we’re proud to offer this
important electrical testing equipment to our industrial electrical customers
in Wichita, the surrounding counties, the state of Kansas, and even customers
who ask us to travel across the continent.
