Engineering Services
Air Circuit Breakers & Oil Circuit Breakers
Nilsen Engineering Services provides expert testing, repair and refurbishment of circuit breakers. Inspection and testing of protection gear is important and provides benefits including:
- Assurance of operation when fault conditions occur (switchgear that has been installed and has not had to operate, must be tested to insure that under fault conditions it will function correctly).
- Correct coordination of upstream switchgear with downstream equipment to prevent unnecessary disconnection.
- Compliance with current standards and fitness for service to avoid any areas of doubt in insurance claims for electrical accidents or personal injury.
Nilsen Engineering Services has the skills and instrumentation to carry out a large suite of testing programs including contact timing, arc chute and contact condition, relay testing and direct injection testing. Related testing includes voltage and current transformer testing as well as functional testing, for example, bus and feeder earth fault protection
