Preventive Treatment for High Voltage – Why It Matters and How to Do It

A high-voltage connection is a connection that serves many electricity consumers, chiefly in the industrial sector.

Using high-voltage systems offers considerable advantages to the organisations that rely on them, but in order to enjoy those advantages it is important to maintain the connection on an ongoing basis, prevent faults and ensure proper, continuous operation.

The advantages of a high-voltage connection

High-voltage systems may operate in industrial plants and large organisations, in companies and institutions across different sectors of the economy, and also in public residential environments, where they supply electricity to entire areas.

A high-voltage connection provides complete independence to the organisations that use it for various purposes, where they need to draw heavily on the electricity grid. It also delivers significant savings in electricity consumption, while substantially improving the quality, stability and reliability of the system.

Why preventive treatment matters in high-voltage systems

High-voltage systems require ongoing maintenance work and regular periodic inspections, which help preserve the service life of the equipment and keep the system operating properly and without faults. The series of checks carried out as part of preventive treatment for high voltage is designed to verify that the system, and the devices and installations operating within it, do not put human life at risk.

The checks carried out as part of the service also ensure that all systems within the high-voltage setup are operating safely, guaranteeing continuous operation without the interruptions that can disrupt an organisation's business activity and harm the public it serves.

Among other things, with skilled teams maintaining these systems it is possible to anticipate potential faults in transformers and generators, to interpret suspect test results, and to support the decision-making processes of those responsible for the system.

Preventive treatment for high voltage – what does it involve?

The programme of work may include a wide range of operations, carried out by skilled teams with appropriate training in the electrical field, among them:

• Servicing the switchgear system
• Electrical engineering inspections
• Thermographic inspections
• Temperature testing
• Coil insulation
• Laboratory sampling
• Noise monitoring
• Servicing the transformer system
• Voltage testing, and more.

Further checks carried out as part of preventive treatment for high voltage cover safety matters, among them:

• Compliance of the various equipment components in the system with safety regulations
• Selecting suitable spare parts where required
• The condition of the electrical contacts
• Protection controllers
• Insulation packages, and more.

Close supervision by a professional company

All of these matters require close supervision by an electrical contractor and by licensed, certified professionals in the electrical field who can carry out the necessary work to a high standard of safety. This is in order to ensure the systems function properly over the long term, to provide a warranty on the work carried out, and to advise on maintaining and servicing the system.

The critical importance of high-voltage systems means they must be handled by a company with proven expertise and rich experience in the field, one that can carry out inspections and servicing to a high standard in order to prevent serious, costly and dangerous damage.
