Case Studies

U.S. – Data Center Surge Mitigation, Silicon Valley

A major cloud services provider experienced recurring damage to rack-mounted switches after storms. Our team deployed surge monitoring solutions using clamp meters and spectrum analyzers to track line disturbances in real time. Root-cause analysis revealed overvoltages tied to HVAC cycling. Grounding and surge arrestors were upgraded, and post-deployment data showed a 90% reduction in line disturbances.

U.S. – Utility Substation Line Integrity Audit, Florida

Following inconsistent performance in backup feeders, a utility turned to Electricaltestingfordatacenters for input line testing. Using oscilloscopes and digital logging meters, we identified phase imbalance and ripple distortion affecting surge arrestor function. After corrective rewiring and surge filter upgrades, the substation restored stable operation with full IEEE compliance.

Canada – Industrial Automation Plant, Alberta

A precision manufacturing facility noticed downtime spikes on sensitive automation lines. We introduced input line monitoring tools that revealed hidden surge activity originating from a legacy inverter. Replacing it with a filtered unit and verifying stability with waveform analysis tools restored consistent operation, reducing production loss.
