Services
Power Quality Survey Analysis
We analyze power analyzer data from brands like Dranetz and RPM to convert raw data into actionable reports. Our experts identify power quality issues through comprehensive analysis of voltage fluctuations, harmonic distortions, and transient events. Clients receive clear recommendations for resolving electrical problems affecting medical imaging equipment, industrial machinery, and commercial systems.
Grounding and Bonding Inspections
Our on-site inspections identify grounding system deficiencies that compromise safety and equipment performance. We physically examine ground connections to resolve issues causing electrical noise, equipment malfunctions, or safety hazards. Our reports include corrective actions for bonding problems in medical facilities, industrial plants, and commercial buildings.
Power Conditioning Assessment
We evaluate UPS systems, voltage regulators, and isolation transformers to ensure optimal performance. Our assessment identifies improperly installed or undersized equipment causing power quality issues. Clients receive recommendations for repairing, replacing, or reconfiguring power conditioning devices to protect sensitive medical and industrial equipment.
Electrical Safety Compliance
We ensure compliance with UL, IEC, and AAMI standards for medical electrical safety. Our services include leakage current measurements, ground resistance testing, and touch voltage assessments for MRI, CT, and cardiovascular imaging systems. We develop safety programs for manufacturers and service organizations.
Magnetic Field Analysis
We diagnose 60Hz magnetic field issues affecting equipment performance and health concerns. Our analysis identifies wiring errors and ground loops causing MRI artifacts, video monitor flickering, and audible hum. We provide cost-effective solutions through system modifications rather than expensive shielding measures.
