Electrical infrastructure field inspection
Complete electrical value chain
AST / ALL

Every asset seen in system context.

DMS assesses individual equipment without losing sight of the network, duty and operational dependencies around it.

Assets covered

Every asset is assessed in the context of the system it supports.

Individual equipment condition is read alongside network duty, operational dependency and failure consequence.

Equipment & test scope

What do we assess? What evidence do we collect?

The field plan matches each equipment type with applicable inspection, testing and analysis; the results feed one condition and risk model.

01HV / MV

High & medium voltage equipment

Primary equipment whose failure can carry the greatest safety, capacity and continuity consequence.

EQUIPMENT COVERED
  • Power transformers
  • HV / MV switchgear
  • HV / MV cables
  • MV generators
TYPICAL TESTS & ANALYSES
  • Asset identity, nameplate and visual-mechanical condition verification
  • Thermography, insulation condition and dielectric checks where applicable
  • Transformer winding resistance, ratio and oil diagnostics where included in scope
  • Breaker contact resistance and operation checks; cable continuity, sheath or VLF diagnostics as relevant
02LV

Low voltage equipment

Distribution, standby-power and end-use systems that support day-to-day operational functions.

EQUIPMENT COVERED
  • Electrical power distribution
  • Motor control centres (MCC)
  • Battery chargers
  • Uninterruptible power supplies (UPS)
  • Battery banks
  • Lighting systems
  • LV generators
TYPICAL TESTS & ANALYSES
  • Board and MCC visual-mechanical inspection, thermography and connection evidence
  • Protection, control, breaker and interlock functional checks where authorised
  • UPS, charger and battery voltage, impedance or conductance, alarm and autonomy review
  • Generator, lighting and emergency-lighting functional or performance checks where practical
03ICT / CTRL

Digital, monitoring & control systems

The interfaces that monitor electrical condition, communicate alarms and coordinate system response.

EQUIPMENT COVERED
  • Information & communications technology (ICT)
  • Building management systems (BMS)
  • SCADA
TYPICAL TESTS & ANALYSES
  • Asset, point and interface register reconciliation
  • Alarm, communications and command-path functional review
  • Power, UPS and network dependency assessment
  • Trend, event and control-logic evidence review within the agreed engineering scope
SCOPE NOTE

The exact test plan depends on equipment type, accessibility, safety permissions, operational constraints and the agreed scope. Not every test applies to every asset.
