At NorthFox Facilities we provide a thermography service using our FLIR thermal imaging technology to detect temperature variations on the surface of objects. This service can be applied in various fields, including Electrical, Mechanical systems and Building diagnostics.
From the information gathered we analyses the data and measure temperatures accurately by compensating for the effects of emissivity, reflected temperature, and other parameters and create a report as per the client requirements showing the temperature difference and highlighting what is not within an acceptable severity criteria.
Use of Infrared windows, their placement and installation, and how to properly compensate for transmission loss using the cameras and software.
Protection Relay & Control Setup & Verification
NorthFox Facilities Services do programming, testing and commissioning of most popular protection relay makes & models with all applications. Our highly experienced team conducts advanced testing with Omicron CMC 365.
The CMC 356 is the universal solution for testing all generations and types of protection relays. Its powerful six current sources (three-phase mode: up to 64 A / 860 VA per channel) with a great dynamic range, make the unit capable of testing even high-burden electromechanical relays with very high power demands.
The CMC 356 is the first choice for applications requiring the highest versatility, amplitude and power. Commissioning engineers will particularly appreciate its ability to perform wiring and plausibility checks of current transformers, by using primary injection of high currents from the test set.
Key features:
- Powerful current sources for testing even high-burden electromechanical relays
- High current amplitudes for 5 A relay testing
- High accuracy and versatility for testing static and numerical relays of all types
- Integrated network for testing IEC 61850 IEDs
- 10-channel analog measurement and transient recording functionality (option)
Load Bank Supplying & Operating
At NorthFox Facilities Services, we can assist the General Contractor in deciding the most efficient loadbank setup when testing equipment or buildings.
We can supply our own External Load Bank and also operate third party External or Internal Load Banks.
When Loadbank testing is carried out, we confirm the reliability of the power supply source at a required performance level. This type of testing usually draws power through Generators, UPS, Battery Banks, Switchgear stress testing the equipment & electrical connections, when internal Loadbanks are used heat load testing of buildings ventilation system can also be tested.
A load bank is a piece of specialised equipment that produces artificial loads. An easy way to think of it is that the purpose of load bank testing essentially acts as a dry run for prior to equipment use and allows any flaws or problems to be exposed before a critical situation. There are many benefits to load bank testing. The first is that you are able to enjoy peace of mind in knowing your equipment generator has the capacity to as intended. The second is that problems discovered during this process are usually much less costly to repair than those discovered during a critical situation. Prevention is definitely better than cure, and load bank testing ensures that all small issues are handled before a major problem occurs.
Power Quality Meter (PQM)
NorthFox Facilities Services, use FLUKE 1777 power quality monitoring equipment to gather and analyse electricity measurement data to provide reports showing information regarding the testing of Generators, UPS, Batterie Banks, Switchgear. It allows facilities to prove to clients the quality of the power being provided and also helps with preventive maintenance, quality control, and save money.
These devices monitor voltage, current, and other measurements to detect issues like harmonics, sags, disturbances and optimise power quality and performance.
PQM’s are essential for ensuring that electrical systems operate within acceptable limits, minimizing the risk of equipment damage, downtime, and productivity losses. They provide valuable data for diagnosing and troubleshooting power quality problems, allowing facility managers and engineers to implement corrective measures proactively.
Overall, power quality meters play a crucial role in maintaining the stability, reliability, and efficiency of electrical systems, ensuring smooth operation and preventing costly disruptions.
