A glimpse into the world of Electrical testing. A job that can take you many places. Many people ask what I do for a living. @davehaskin

Anyone ever use one of these in the electrical field? What do you use it for? Want to know what I use it for? Just ask me 😃 #ett #electricaltesttech #transformers #troubleshoot #electricalengineering #contractors #electric #ingenuity #testing #netatesting

15kV Switchgear bus install. The horizontal bus will be energized when the main breaker is closed. The horizontal bus will be enclosed as a finished product. This will allow rear access to “Open” or “removed” breakers and isolate energized parts from coming in contact with personnel. Proper safety procedures must be followed to avoid injury or death. But this was a good opportunity to visually see the horizontal bus work. #15kv #horizontal #electricalengineering #electric #ett #electricaltesttech #switchgear #neta #construction #contractors #contractor

Uh oh! Is this really happening?! A new “Members Only” section of ElectricalTestTech.com is on its way! The first thing on the agenda will be the release of Doble relay test plans. If you are new to testing protection relays and are using a Doble relay test set, you won’t want to miss this. #protection #controls #relay #test #testing #ett #electricaltesttech #electrical #electricalengineering #doble #new #help #technician #follow

Thermographic scanning, also referred to as Infrared scanning, is a tool used across multiple trades. The equipment can be pricey, but it is a great tool to use as part of your arsenal. I typically use it in the electrical industry, but I will provide examples of other uses.

Law Enforcement Surveillance - Using infrared to track fleeing criminals or hiding criminals is a pretty useful tool. #camera #electrical #electricaltesttech #ett #Imaging #InfraredScanning #preventive #Thermographic #tips

Have you ever seen what a transformer electrostatic shield looks like? Do you know the purpose of the electrostatic shield?

Sometimes, oil filled transformers fault. But dealing with a manufacturer who stands by their product and makes things right...priceless. #transformers #electricalengineering #ett #electricaltesttech #35kv #15kv #follow #equipment #electrical #electric #test

While “normal” people sleep, I’m at work. Something somewhere requires maintenance. Test guys appear everywhere. Important locations typically can’t be shut down during normal hours. So we show up in the shadows of the night, ready to perform electrical maintenance tasks. Tonight on the list are 2 - 4000 amp breakers, 2 - 13.2kV air disconnects, and 2 - 2000KVA transformers. In the morning, I know I will feel like a superhero. Exhausted from the task, but happy to make another satisfied customer.

When responding to a faulted oil filled transformer emergency call, the first thing you should do is follow your Lockout/Tagout procedures. The second would be to take oil samples; a general sample and a dissolved gas analysis sample. The typical oil colors are as follows: New Mineral oil = almost clear, but a hint of yellow; Old Mineral Oil = more distinguished yellow; RTEMP = a darkish caramel color with the consistency of molasses; Silicone = clear; Biodegrade (Envirotemp, FR3, etc.)= green or greenish hue. They all have one thing in common! When an oil filled transformer fails/faults within the tank, the oil turns Black! They all have an aroma of burnt paper or a carbon smell. When these oils haven’t been subjected to a fault, they have unique aromas. In the future, use your sense of smell to familiarize yourself with the scents. Side note, PCB’s have a unique scent as well!

When performing maintenance on a motor control center, look out for electrical goodies! You never know what kind of humor you are going to come across. #electricaltesttech #ett #electrical #humor #motor #control #center #follow #electricalengineering

I’m really excited! TestGuy is developing a new Android app that will be released on the Google play store soon! I have had the chance to test this app a little. It is one of a kind. There are some really cool features like a voltage drop calculator, transformer calculators, power factor and power triangle calculators. This is a MUST-HAVE for electricians. The best part?! You can use the app ALL OFFLINE WITH FULL FUNCTIONALITY!! There may be a minor cost to the app, but it will be worth it! Follow @testguynet and join the free network!

Thermography is a very useful tool in assuring electrical equipment is in good working order. Would you like to learn more about infrared scanning of electrical equipment?

A major problem with the lack of maintenance on this style low voltage breaker is the lack of lubrication. If the charge indicator is missing, there is a good chance that it is lodged in the spring. To fix it requires removing a few small springs and retaining clips. A light oil to penetrate will loosen it up, but the flag has to be removed from the spring. This may be challenging depending on how bad the flag is wedged in the spring. #maintenance #lowvoltage #ett #electricaltesttech #netatesting #breakers #480v #westinghouse #cutlerhammer #neta #follow

I get the rare opportunity to take my daughter to dinner by myself. My son is at a friends house, and my wife is working late. Last night, my son and I had hockey practice and went to dinner by ourselves. Not working tonight#electric #electricalengineering #ett #electricaltesttech #notworking #family #follow
