System Testing and Monitoring

VarcoMac's System Testing and Monitoring services provide crucial intelligence about your electrical infrastructure, helping you maintain optimal performance while preventing costly failures. Our comprehensive approach combines advanced diagnostic equipment with expert analysis to deliver actionable insights about your systems' health and performance.

Our specialized testing and monitoring services include:

• Ground Fault Testing: We perform thorough evaluation of ground fault protection systems to verify proper operation and sensitivity, ensuring they'll respond appropriately to dangerous ground faults that could damage equipment or create safety hazards.
• Switchgear Testing: Our technicians conduct comprehensive testing of circuit breakers, protective relays, transfer switches, and other switchgear components to confirm mechanical functionality and proper electrical performance under both normal and fault conditions.
• Power Quality Analysis: Using advanced recording instruments, we identify harmonics, voltage fluctuations, power factor issues, and other power quality problems that can damage sensitive equipment, cause nuisance tripping, or result in energy inefficiencies.
• Load Analysis and Capacity Verification: Our detailed load measurements provide accurate data on system capacity, helping you manage growth and prevent overloading conditions while validating transformer and distribution equipment loading.
• Coordination Testing: We verify the proper operation and timing of sequential protective devices to ensure faults are cleared by the nearest upstream device, minimizing outage scope during fault conditions.
• Insulation Resistance Testing: Our comprehensive testing evaluates the integrity of cable and equipment insulation systems, identifying developing weaknesses before they lead to catastrophic failures.
• Continuous Monitoring Solutions: For critical systems, we can implement permanent monitoring equipment that provides real-time data and alerts for immediate response to developing issues.

The VarcoMac difference includes detailed documentation of all test results with comprehensive analysis and specific recommendations for corrective actions when needed. Our approach saves you money by identifying small problems before they become major failures, helping you make informed decisions about system upgrades or replacements, and providing the documentation needed for compliance with insurance and regulatory requirements. With VarcoMac's testing and monitoring services, you gain visibility into the invisible electrical parameters affecting your system's reliability, efficiency, and safety, transforming reactive maintenance into proactive system management.
