Industrial Power System Solutions
Industrial facilities depend on reliable power for continuous operations. An unplanned outage in a refinery, chemical plant, steel mill, or mining operation can cost millions in lost production and create serious safety hazards. VA-TEK solutions help industrial clients maintain robust protection and monitoring programs.
Oil and Gas
Refineries, processing plants, and pipeline stations operate in hazardous areas with stringent safety requirements. Our test and monitoring solutions support:
- Motor and generator protection relay testing
- Transformer diagnostic testing for critical process transformers
- Arc flash mitigation scheme verification
- Emergency shutdown (ESD) system testing
- ATEX/IECEx zone compliance documentation
Mining
Mining operations rely on extensive power distribution networks often in remote locations. Key applications include:
- Earth leakage and earth fault protection testing
- Trailing cable and reeling system protection
- Dragline and shovel drive protection verification
- Portable testing capability for remote sites
Steel and Heavy Manufacturing
Arc furnaces and rolling mills generate harmonics, voltage fluctuations, and frequent switching transients that challenge protection systems. Our testing covers:
- Harmonic-restrained protection testing
- Furnace transformer diagnostic testing
- Capacitor bank protection verification
- Load shedding scheme testing
