Analysis and adjustment of electrical protection equipment
This service is able to adapt protective equipment to different types of equipment : transformers, electrical lines, alternators, etc.
In addition to the analysis and adjustment of electrical installations, this service is able to adapt protective equipment (digital, electronic or electromechanical relays) to different types of equipment : transformers, electrical lines, alternators, etc.
Existing equipment can be adapted or a new device installed in accordance with the specific requirements of each client.
Methodology
- collection of data on the equipment to be protected and on the protective equipment
- determination of the adjustment parameters
- preparation of a settings file for digital equipment
- commissioning tests, commissioning
- documentation and archiving

Additional services
Station maintenance
We are specialists in the operation and maintenance of hydropower plants. We also maintain transmission network high voltage substations.Electrical simulations
Modelling a power plant's main electrical components makes the simulation of electrical transients possible in order to identify the cause of an incident.MV/LV electricity
Medium voltage (MV) and low voltage (LV) electrical installations age over time and must be replaced before they become faulty and cause major breakdown.Transformer diagnostics
Diagnostic tests and monitoring help determine the condition of transformers and identify corrective measures to ensure reliable operation and extended service life. As the saying goes, prevention is better than cure.References
