Specifications include, but are not limited to: YEAR ONE (*Note that Year One requires more work than Year 2 and Year 3.): True RMS Voltage and Current Service: Capture and record the square root of the average square of the instantaneous magnitude of the voltage and current to determine if the correct voltage and current is present to properly operate equipment and optimize its life cycle.; Voltage Drop Service: Measure and record the difference of voltages at the two terminals of passive impedance to determine if the electrical components, i.e., circuit breakers, contact surfaces, etc., are operating properly to reduce hazards and equipment destruction.; Infrared Thermographic Imaging Service: Measure (utilizing state-of-the-art instrumentation) to identify and document temperatures that exceed NFPA Standard 70B recommendations, i.e., high resistance electrical connections, current overload, defective circuit breakers and/or defective insulator conditions to reduce the risk of browncuts and blackouts, as well as safety and fire hazards.; Ultrasonic Service: Measure and record sound waves that are above audible sound (16-18 kHz) to complement the infrared service as well as safety and determine if corona, tracking, arcing is present and to assure the quality and integrity of the electrical system.; Voltage and Current Harmonics Service: Capture and record Total Harmonic Distortion-Voltage (THDV) and Total Harmonic Distortion-Current (THDC) that exceed IEEE tolerance levels to assure accurate power (kW) charges and to minimize the risk of damage to microelectronic equipment, transformers, circuit breakers, motors, etc.; Visual and Mechanical Inspections: Interior and exterior of all components will be inspected to ascertain, and if necessary, make certain adjustments to ensure that its performance remains within specified limits. Also identify corrosion, rust and discoloration, leaks, safety hazards, applicable electric code violations, grounding, physical damage and the general condition of components.; Phase-Balance Service: Test to assure that the phases in the electrical system are balanced. ; YEAR TWO and YEAR THREE; Infrared Thermographic Imaging Service: Measure (utilizing state-of-the-art instrumentation) to identify and document temperatures that exceed NFPA Standard 70B recommendations, i.e., high resistance electrical connections, current overload, defective circuit breakers and/or defective insulator conditions to reduce the risk of brownouts and blackouts, as well as safety and fire hazards.; Ultrasonic Service: Measure and record sound waves that are above audible sound (16-18 kHz) to complement the infrared service as well as safety and determine if corona, tracking, arcing is present and to assure the quality and integrity of the electrical system.; Visual and Mechanical Inspections: Interior and exterior of all components will be inspected to ascertain, and if necessary, make certain adjustments to ensure that its performance remains within specified limits. Also identify corrosion, rust and discoloration, leaks, safety hazards, applicable electric code violations, grounding, physical damage and the general condition of components.; Equipment Nameplates: Compare equipment nameplate data with drawings and specifications.; Remove Covers: Remove and replace covers on all Electrical System Components, where applicable.; Inspection: Inspect physical, electrical, and mechanical condition.; Mechanical Indicators: Inspect all mechanical indicating devices for correct operation and indication.; Minor Repairs: Perform minor “repairs”, i.e., replace missing knockouts.
