Case Studies

Financial Data Center in Texas

A leading financial firm faced issues with unreliable failover operations during power grid instability. Electricaltestingfordatacenters deployed a comprehensive transfer switch testing system integrated with remote diagnostics. As a result, the client experienced zero downtime during a subsequent blackout and passed all regulatory audits.

Telecommunications Hub in Virginia

Our team supported a Tier III telecom provider requiring simultaneous testing of multiple transfer paths. We implemented a smart monitoring framework that enabled dynamic switching and instant event logging. The client reduced switch-over times by 45% and minimized operational risks.

Canadian Hospital Network – Ontario

In Ontario, a provincial healthcare network needed compliance with CSA C282 for their emergency power systems. We designed a tailored redundant path test and verification plan, ensuring seamless power continuity across all departments. Post-deployment, the network received full regulatory clearance and improved energy efficiency.
