Substation testing is used to validate the performance of key substation assets. This can include transformers, high, medium & low voltage cables, overhead conductors, breakers, grounding system, and communication equipment. The testing provides valuable insight on the current condition of these assets and can be used to study their health and predict remaining life.

Substation commissioning ensures that all equipment is correctly installed, properly coordinated, and functions as designed for safe and reliable operation. Commissioning testing verifies performance and system integration, ensuring new equipment operates safely and efficiently throughout its lifespan.

Our testing expertise supports all equipment types, as well as validates performance parameters before energization and grid connection. Additionally, we perform condition assessments of existing substation equipment to support asset management and replacement strategies.
