Predictive / Preventative Maintenance: The practice of preventing costly downtime before problems occur. Using the latest technology California Electric Company can help you with your Preventative Maintenance programs. Maintenance must be done to prevent downtime, which can cost you money and customers. Here are some of the services we provide that can keep your company up and running: Thermogrophy / Infrared Scanning Power Monitoring / Harmonics Vibration Analysis With infrared scanning, you will see were potential electrical and mechanical problems are developing and repair them before a breakdown occurs. Scans can be performed on distribution panels, circuit breakers, bus bars, motor control centers, gearboxes, main switchgear, transformers, spindles (universal shafts), motors, etc. California Electric Company uses a certified (IBEW) electrician, who has been certified by the camera manufacturer, to perform all of the scans. If at anytime minor problems are found, our electrician can fix the problem without calling someone else in at added expense to you

Real time Power Monitoring involves checking for lags, sags, fluctuations and other power anomalies that could create problems for operation equipment. We can determine what type of equipment would be affected by the anomalies, formulate probable causes and recommend solutions. Here is an example of a power monitoring analysis: Harmonics, a fairly new problem that has developed because of the increased usage of computers, variable speed drives, electronic ballasts, etc. Harmonics can cause excessive phase or neutral current to occur and cause severe damage to your electrical system. A survey test of transformers, circuit breakers, motors, and power strips can determine if there is a problem and corrective action can them be taken before damage is done.
