Facility Power Survey

Arc-flash hazard analysis + load flow study

Full facility de-energized for arc-flash hazard analysis per NFPA 70E. Load flow study reveals the existing 2,000A service is operating at 94% utilization — critically close to the 80% NEC continuous load limit. All 12 motor circuits logged with thermal imaging; 7 connections above spec.

Motor Control Centre Commissioning

MCC-A + MCC-B energization sequence

Eaton Freedom 2100 series MCC-A and MCC-B installed and butt-spliced to 800A 600V bus. Each motor starter combo unit tested under no-load: contact wipe, overload trip verification, and megger insulation test at 1,000V DC. All 18 starters verified before first load application.

EMS & Full Facility Commissioning

ESA permit closed — zero deficiencies

Schneider PowerLogic EMS meters deployed on every distribution point. Real-time dashboards feed production KPIs and peak demand alerts. Lighting retrofitted with 400W LED high-bay fixtures on DALI ballasts. ESA closed-out permit — zero deficiencies across all 12 circuits. Facility now qualifies for $78,000 IESO demand response program.

High-voltage projects delivered on spec, on schedule.

Our industrial division holds a C-of-Q for work up to 27.6kV. ESA permit every time.
