Your specialist partner for Power Quality issues and complex commissioning

Why modern electrical installation requires additional expertise

The days when an installation consisted only of linear loads are behind us. The massive introduction of LED lighting, AC drives, EV chargers and PV installations has fundamentally changed the load on the grid. For you as an installer or project manager, this means that the rules of the game have changed. Where before you could rely on standard design standards, you now see that 'correctly' laid installations still have problems.

Poor Power Quality is rarely immediately visible, but the financial impact is. Consider:

Our expertise at your disposal: 4 pillars of cooperation

Engineer engaged in measurement

1. On-site specialist measurements & analysis

Are you getting stuck on a fault you can't put your finger on? Or is your client demanding a comprehensive Power Quality report according to NEN-EN 50160? Our engineers will come to the site on your behalf or with you. We have high-end measuring equipment to bring harmonics, flicker, imbalance and transients into razor-sharp focus. You do not receive a pile of raw data, but a clear report with conclusions and concrete points for improvement that you can discuss directly with your client.

2. Commissioning & Validation support

Completion is the moment of truth. Especially in complex projects in industry, healthcare or data centres, a standard inspection is sometimes not enough. HyTEPS supports you in the commissioning (SAT/FAT) of critical installation parts. We validate whether the power quality meets the specifications and help you demonstrate that you have contractually met all requirements. This prevents discussions and claims afterwards.

3. Simulation & Advice in the design phase

Prevention is better than cure. Do you doubt whether the new extension will fit the existing transformer? Or do you want to be sure that the planned filters will not cause resonance? Using advanced simulation software, we calculate your design even before a single cable has been drawn. We advise you on the right dimensioning and selectivity, so you can build with certainty.

4. Knowledge sharing & Training of your team

Technology does not stand still. Neither do your mechanics and work planners. HyTEPS offers training courses - at our office or at your premises - specifically aimed at E-installers. We teach your people how to recognise power quality problems, how to measure safely and how to perform basic analyses themselves. This way, you increase the level of knowledge within your own organisation.

Frequently asked questions by installers

Answer:

In most cases, we work on behalf of you, the installer. We report to you and you communicate with your end customer. This keeps your position as main contractor intact.

Answer:

This depends on the complexity, the duration of the measurement (e.g. weekly measurement vs spot measurement) and the location. Contact us for a customised, no-obligation quote for your project.

Answer:

We understand that downtime costs money. For urgent matters, we try to respond as quickly as possible, often within 24 to 48 hours. For less urgent analyses, we plan in consultation.

Answer:

Yes, we can use measurements to reveal where energy losses (such as reactive current) occur. By optimising these, you often create extra space on the connection, which can be a solution in case of congestion.

Answer:

Our reports are clear, Dutch-language (or English) and independent. They include a management summary for and an in-depth technical analysis for you and your customer.

Answer:

Our focus is on Power Quality and the quality of voltage and current (NEN-EN 50160). However, Power Quality is an essential part of a safe installation. We can supplement your inspection report with in-depth measurements that go beyond the standard NEN 3140 scope.

Answer:

Yes. If our analysis shows that harmonic filters or capacitor banks are needed, we can dimension, supply and commission them (together with you). You can buy this hardware from us and install it yourself, or let us supervise this.

Answer:

That rarely happens. Even if no direct 'fault' is found, measurement provides valuable data on the health of the installation.
