NETA Electrical Testing & Electrical Acceptance Testing
Certified Electrical Testing: The NETA Standard for Absolute Reliability
Before you turn on new equipment—or as part of routine audits—our NETA-certified team verifies that your system is built and performing the way it should. This process helps you avoid potential safety hazards, fire and property damage (electrical fires and equipment catastrophic failure), and operational and financial risks (unexpected downtime, insurance and legal liability, and higher energy costs).
Blue Runner Switchgear is a NETA-certified electrical testing company that can help you when youschedule your NETA testing audit. The best way to prevent these issues is to implement NETA Electrical Testing as a non-negotiable insurance policy. It's the independent, third-party proof that your electrical components will perform safely and reliably under load, meeting the highest industry standards.
When to Schedule NETA Testing Services
Blue Runner Switchgear is a proactive partner that delivers certified NETA testing services, as required for compliance and system integrity. However, sometimes, you need extra help to understand. That's why we came up with three different scenarios to know when the right time is to schedule NETA testing services:
- New Equipment Commissioning: Required before energizing any newly installed equipment.
- Routine Audits & Scheduled Maintenance: Necessary for compliance and as part of a proactive, preventative maintenance electrical testing program.
- Post-Failure Verification: After a system fault or repair, testing is mandatory to ensure all components are fully restored and reliable.
The Blue Runner Switchgear Difference: Independent, NETA Certified Testing Company
As a NETA certified testing company, we adhere to strict procedures, use calibrated equipment, and employ certified technicians—guaranteeing independent and unbiased results. The NETA certification provides the necessary verifiable proof that a system meets safety and reliability benchmarks, which is often required by insurance and regulatory bodies. Our team at Blue Runner Switchgear has an efficient process:
Data Collection & Review:
We initiate a meticulous Data Collection and Review process to establish the foundation for a safe and effective testing protocol. We thoroughly review all relevant manufacturer specifications and applicable industry standards and codes, such as ANSI/NETA, IEEE, and NFPA 70B, which allows us to identify system-specific requirements, define appropriate acceptance criteria, and precisely tailor a site-specific test plan (SSTP).
Certified Execution:
Once the SSTP is finalized, Certified Execution of the testing program commences. All fieldwork is performed by highly trained, certified technicians who possess the requisite expertise in electrical safety and apparatus testing, guaranteeing the reliability and accuracy of every measurement; all testing is conducted using state-of-the-art, calibrated instruments that are traceable to national standards. Strict adherence to the site-specific test plan and rigorous safety protocols is maintained throughout the execution phase to ensure personnel safety, prevent equipment.
Accredited Test Reports:
The final deliverable is a comprehensive set of Accredited Test Reports. We provide detailed, verifiable, compliant, and insightful reports. Each document provides clear pass/fail designations based on established acceptance criteria and includes complete data documentation, instrument calibration certificates, and executive summaries, satisfying compliance requirements for regulatory bodies and insurance providers and providing actionable insights into the current health and predictive maintenance needs of your electrical system.
Comprehensive Electrical Acceptance Testing and Maintenance Programs
Acceptance Testing of Electrical Systems involves verifying that new equipment meets factory specifications, while Preventive Maintenance Testing involves the continuous verification of system health. We provide many services that work under these testing and maintenance programs, including:
- Acceptance Testing Electrical Systems: Before initial energization, it is required to test the new apparatus (switchgear, breakers, and relays) to confirm proper installation and performance.
- Preventative Maintenance Services: Throughout the years, you need to undergo routine testing, such as insulation resistance and contact resistance, which is designed to monitor equipment degradation and predict failures.
- Ground Fault Testing and Inspection: Every system needs crucial verification of ground fault protection systems to ensure rapid shutdown during a fault, protecting personnel and equipment.
- Baseline Power Quality Monitoring: Additionally, every company should have non-invasive monitoring to establish baseline operating conditions, identifying harmful harmonics, voltage sags, and surges that affect sensitive equipment.
- Protective Relay Testing: Over time, functional checks and calibration should be performed to ensure that protective devices trip precisely when needed to isolate faults.
- Circuit Breaker Testing & Rebuilding: Maintenance and testing of circuit breakers to confirm their functionality and operating times.
