Substations
Substation testing and maintenance is critical and undertaken to ensure the correct management and the lifecycle of the associated assets. Regular testing maximizes the health, efficiency and cost-effectiveness of the assets, including transformers, circuit breakers, protection equipment, battery backup systems and more.
Planned maintenance can helps to prevent accidents, and compliance issues and aids to reduce the risk of unplanned shutdowns, and ultimately extend the life of an asset within and downstream of the substation. ESS offer a variety of tools suitable for the job:
ESS Test & Measurement provides the most useful and widely used products to assist Commissioning and Maintenance Engineers to deliver their projects quickly and accurately: Omicron Testrano’s and CPC 100 with Tan Delat12 being the most popular.

Cable Testing
Cable testing is an essential process to determine the condition of a cable. From Installation and commissioning to diagnosis and fault finding, it is highly critical to maintain the health of a cable to ensure the correct operation of the electrical network and connected assets and to identify the quality, conformity and functionality of the cable, reducing costly repairs and unplanned outages of the network.
Very Low Frequency testing for Medium Voltage and High Voltage cables is a method for verifying the integrity of the cable insulation. ESS Test & Measurement has a suite of products to test at a wide range of Voltages.
Cable faults are damages to cables which effect a resistance in the cable. If allowed to persist, this can lead to a voltage breakdown. There are different types of cable faults, which must first be classified before they can be located. ESS Test & Measurement offer a range of Cable Fault Locators available for short and long term rental.
Cable identification products are used to identify single and multi-core cables in a cable bundle or cable loom. By using these products, the risk of accidentally cutting a live phase is significantly reduced.
