Technical Support & Consulting

Technical consulting, troubleshooting and ongoing support for substations and industrial plants.

Protection and substation equipment need care after commissioning too. ENP provides technical support both case by case (troubleshooting after a trip or outage) and under periodic contracts, so faults are noticed early and downtime costs stay low.

Troubleshooting and fault analysis

  • Collecting disturbance records (COMTRADE format) and sequence of events (SOE) from relays
  • Reconstructing the event sequence and finding the cause: real fault, settings, trip circuit or CT/VT
  • Fault location on lines using distance relay data
  • Root cause report and recommended corrective actions
  • Relay retest and setting review after an incident

Periodic maintenance

ActivityTypical interval
Visual inspection and thermographyAnnual or six-monthly
Protection relay testingEvery 2 to 4 years (digital relays)
Circuit breaker and contact resistance testEvery 2 to 4 years
Oil sampling and DGAAnnual
Battery and charger testSix-monthly to annual
Earth resistanceAnnual
Cable test (VLF / tan δ)Every 3 to 5 years

Intervals are typical examples and are adjusted to substation criticality, environment and the operator's procedures.

Support contract (SLA)

  • Defined response time for incidents
  • Periodic visits per an annual plan
  • Recommended spare parts list
  • Equipment condition and trend reports

Retrofit and relay replacement

Replacing electromechanical or old relays with digital relays, including circuit review, new settings, rewiring, testing and commissioning without a long substation outage.

Training and consulting

  • Practical relay testing and setting training for operation teams
  • Equipment selection advice and tender technical specifications
  • Substation design review before execution

Scope of work
