High-voltage substation and kiosk efficiency is essential in electricity supply. Connetics has the right experience in design, construction, installation, and maintenance of these assets.
Calibration and Certification
Connetics has specialist facilities for testing and calibrating insulation testers, multi-meters, and HV voltmeters, as well as a purpose-built HV test laboratory for testing live line sticks, gloves and tools.
Network Testing
We have specialised plant and expertise for locating faults in cable systems, helping customers to avoid lengthy delays. This is a cost-effective service for reducing network down-time and repair costs.
Control & Protection System Testing
Connetics can design, install, commission and maintain these systems or provide advice and/or fault finding – a key to network reliability and stability.
Equipment Testing
We have many years’ experience in the operation and maintenance of HV and LV systems and equipment. We can undertake audits and provide proactive and reactive maintenance programmes to ensure compliance and minimise the impact of unscheduled outages.
Ripple Control
Our expertise extends to designing, installing, maintaining and commissioning load control methods using HV ripple injection. We also offer a range of test services for injection plants.
SCADA and RF Communications
Our experience in installation and maintenance ranges from single PC-based systems with one RTU to large, distributed multi-processor systems with many large RTUs. This enables us to provide a full range of SCADA design, programming, installation and maintenance services. Also relevant here is Connetics’ vast experience installing and maintaining UHF, VHF and Fibre systems.
Substation Installation & Maintenance
All utilities require regular maintenance. We’ve been designing and carrying out preventative maintenance programmes for many years. We’ve also built up real expertise in the construction of substations, from small kiosks through to 66kV ‘greenfields’ projects.
Transformer and Switchgear Maintenance
Reconditioning may be more cost effective than replacement, but must be based on regular monitoring. Connetics can carry out the full range of transformer services including half life servicing, upgrading, tank and radiator repairs and modifications, tap change maintenance or replacement, core maintenance and oil maintenance.
