COMMERCIAL MAINTENANCE & PREVENTATIVE ANALYSIS
Planned electrical maintenance is critical to the safety, reliability, and longevity of commercial and industrial electrical systems. At Welburn Electric, we work with facility owners and managers to develop proactive maintenance programs that reduce unplanned downtime, protect critical equipment, and support long-term operational performance. Properly maintained electrical systems operate more efficiently and help facilities meet safety expectations, insurance requirements, and regulatory standards.
NFPA 70B establishes industry-recognized best practices for electrical equipment maintenance, emphasizing routine inspection, testing, monitoring, and documentation of electrical distribution systems. By applying these principles, Welburn Electric helps clients identify potential issues before they become failures, reducing the risk of arc flash events, equipment damage, and unexpected outages.
A key component of an effective maintenance program is thermographic imaging. Infrared inspections allow our technicians to identify abnormal thermal conditions in electrical equipment that are not visible during normal operation. Loose connections, overloaded circuits, deteriorating components, and failing equipment can be detected early — often without interrupting service. This condition-based approach helps protect installations, extend equipment life, and prioritize corrective actions.
Manufacturing & Industrial Facilities
Industrial electrical systems experience high demand, variable loading, and operational stresses that can lead to equipment failure if not properly maintained. NFPA 70B–aligned maintenance supports reliability, operational efficiency, and reduced unplanned downtime.
Our industrial maintenance services include:
-
Inspection and testing of electrical distribution equipment under normal operating conditions
-
Thermographic imaging to identify loose connections, overloaded circuits, and deteriorating components
-
Load monitoring and data logging using Fluke and Dranetz equipment to analyze operating demand and support system planning
-
Power quality and harmonic analysis in coordination with power quality engineers
-
Identification of voltage and current imbalance and power quality issues impacting equipment performance
-
Trending of collected data to support condition-based maintenance decisions
-
Documentation of findings with prioritized corrective action recommendations
This proactive approach allows issues to be addressed before they result in production interruptions or equipment damage.
Healthcare Facilities
Healthcare facilities rely on continuous electrical service to support patient care, life-safety systems, and essential clinical equipment. Planned maintenance performed in alignment with NFPA-recommended practices helps reduce risk and support compliance in sensitive and occupied environments.
Our healthcare maintenance services include:
-
Inspection and testing of electrical distribution systems serving normal, essential, and life-safety branches
-
Condition-based assessments of panels, switchgear, feeders, and transfer equipment
-
Thermographic imaging to identify abnormal thermal conditions
-
Load monitoring and data logging using advanced tools such as Fluke and Dranetz to evaluate system demand and support capacity planning
-
Power quality and harmonic analysis performed in coordination with power quality engineers
-
Detection of voltage and current imbalance and quality-of-supply issues
-
Maintenance documentation to support facility records and regulatory requirements
All work is carefully coordinated to minimize disruption to patient care and ongoing operations.
