Our company often referred to as an electric utility or power company, supplies electricity to residential, commercial, and industrial customers. Our primary product or service is electrical energy. Here's what an electric company supplies:

What we do:

Electrical Power: We generate, transmit, and distribute electrical power to homes, businesses, and industries to meet their energy needs.

Electricity Distribution: We maintain an extensive network of power lines, transformers, substations, and other infrastructure to deliver electricity from power generation facilities to end-users.

Billing and Metering: Our company measure the amount of electricity consumed by customers through electric meters and provide billing services based on usage.

Customer Service: We offer customer support services to address inquiries, resolve issues, and assist with account management.

Emergency Response: We respond to power outages, emergencies, and electrical faults to restore service and maintain grid reliability.

Infrastructure Maintenance: Routine maintenance and upgrades of electrical infrastructure to ensure a reliable and consistent power supply.

We erect towers and poles to carry high-voltage power lines. This requires foundations and structural work. We excavate trenches for underground power cables and conduits. We build manholes and install ducts for the underground distribution of electrical cables. Also prepare the sites for electrical distribution equipment, ensuring proper drainage, and establishing secure foundations for transformers and other equipment. We also build access roads to reach remote electrical distribution sites, which may be located in remote areas.

Testing electrical equipment is crucial to ensure safety, functionality, and compliance with regulatory standards. Various aspects of electrical equipment need to be tested, including:

Insulation Resistance: we test the insulation material to ensure it is not compromised, preventing unwanted current leakage and electrical faults.

Earth Grounding: We ensure that equipment is correctly grounded to minimize the risk of electric shock and provide a safe path for fault currents.

Voltage and Polarity: We check the equipment for the correct voltage supply and polarity to prevent damage and ensure proper functionality.

Current Leakage: We test for any unintended current leakage that could pose a safety risk or affect the equipment's performance.

Overload and Short Circuit Protection: We verify that the equipment has protective mechanisms to prevent over current conditions, overloads, and short circuits.

Dielectric Strength: We test the equipment's ability to withstand high voltage without breaking down, ensuring it can handle surges or transients.

Load Testing: We apply a load to the equipment to verify that it operates within its rated capacity and does not overheat or malfunction.

Functional Testing: We ensure that the equipment performs its intended functions correctly, such as switches, displays, and control mechanisms.

Thermal Testing: We always check for any overheating issues that could lead to equipment failure or safety hazards.

Environmental Testing: We assess the equipment's performance under various environmental conditions, such as temperature, humidity, and vibration.

Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC): We ensure that the equipment does not emit electromagnetic interference (EMI) and is not susceptible to external interference.

Conformance to Standards: We verify that the equipment complies with relevant industry standards and regulations, which may vary depending on the type of equipment.

Periodic Inspections: We conduct routine inspections and testing to identify wear, damage, or degradation over time, especially for equipment subject to wear and tear.

Emergency Shutdown Tests: We ensure that emergency shutdown systems are functional and can be activated as needed.

Residual Current Devices (RCD) Testing: For portable equipment, test RCDs to detect any ground faults and ensure prompt disconnection.

Documentation: Maintain thorough records of all testing, results, and maintenance activities to demonstrate compliance with safety and regulatory requirements.
