Frequently Asked Questions
| Why test, inspect and maintain my electrical equipment? |
 |
| Electrical equipment deterioration is inevitable, but equipment failure is not. Deterioration of electrical equipment is accelerated by environmental, service and application factors. Burlington Electrical Testing Company can identify and present solutions to correct these problems through testing, inspection and maintenance of this equipment at your facility. |
|
| What is a NETA Company and why should I choose a Full Member NETA company over a Manufacturer or non-NETA certified company? |
|
| A Full Member NETA certified company ensures that the company uses technicians who are trained and experienced concerning the apparatus and systems being evaluated and are capable of conducting these tests in a safe manner. All NETA technicians are certified per ANSI/NETA ETT-2000.
A Full NETA company ensures proper documentation of testing activities, calibration of all test equipment, and compliance with the strict NETA safety and training guidelines.
Being professionally independent of manufacturers, suppliers and installers of equipment, Full Member NETA Companies are a third party entity, which can function as an unbiased testing authority. |
|
| How often do I need to have my electrical equipment tested and maintained? |
|
| Frequency of service can vary from facility to facility. A good source
of information on this subject is the NFPA 70B, which gives guidelines on
the length of time between maintenance for major types of electrical
distribution equipment. Non-outage work such as Infrared Inspections
and Transformer Oil Analysis are typically done annually.
