Equipment and substations

Circuit breakers, transformers, CTs, VTs and other equipment by voltage level, their internal parts, bus arrangements and station service.

Equipment

MT/AT/EATElectrical substation: what it is, parts and how it worksWhat an electrical substation is, what it does, the equipment in the switchyard and the control building, how power flows and how it is commissioned.

Bus arrangements

AT/EATHigh and extra-high voltage substations: the essentialsWhat sets HV and EHV substations apart: voltage classes, bus arrangements, equipment, insulation coordination, duplicated protection and control.

Industrial plants

BT, MT, ATElectrical commissioning of an industrial plantElectrical commissioning of an industrial plant: substation, switchgear, motors, drives, on-site generation and SCADA, in what order and what is delivered.BT, MTSwitchgear and MCC commissioning: tests and checksCommissioning LV switchgear, panels and MCCs: IEC 61439 routine verification, FAT and SAT, insulation, functional tests, interlocks and energization.

Motors, drives and generation

BTElectrical testing of low-voltage three-phase motorsElectrical tests on a low-voltage three-phase motor: insulation resistance, winding resistance, surge test and no-load current, and what each one detects.

Testing or commissioning this equipment?We test on site in Colombia, or elsewhere on request, and deliver a test report per device.
