About Mission Critical
As their name suggests, mission critical facilities require very resilient infrastructure to ensure that their critical services remain uninterrupted. These critical services allow businesses and systems to function continuously effectively and efficiently. Mission critical facilities require extremely reliable power systems, and downtime is simply not an option.
Mission critical facilities are required to adhere to high standards and remain resilient in the face of electrical faults. This is why they turn to trustworthy and reliable power suppliers to ensure that they get the best service, that is both cost and energy-efficient. At IPE Canada, we are equipped with the expertise and the experience needed to supply mission critical facilities with the best resources so they can focus their attention on the more important aspects of their work. We understand the importance of increasing energy efficiency and reducing carbon emissions to adjust the operational profile of mission-critical facilities. We offer impeccable solutions for the energy-saving goals of all of our clients.
Our Commitment
Our team of highly trained professionals guarantee the greatest attention to quality and detail. We are committed to the installation and maintenance of the best equipment to provide optimal performance and give you the best return on your investment. We always strive to:
- Increase energy efficiency and reduce costs associated with utility and operating
- Decrease downtime and lost production resulting from electrical and power system failures
- Ensure that standards, codes, and regulations are all appropriately met
- Decrease the costs related to repair and replacement of damaged or faulty equipment
- Prevent danger to personnel and equipment resulting from arc flash explosions and fires
- Increase the efficiency, reliability, and longevity of all facility equipment
Our Mission Critical Services
Our expertise and services span several areas, including:
Engineering services
Arc flash studies – Arc flash assessments are performed to examine the power system of a facility and determine the energy produced at specific electrical devices. Assessing the energy levels allows for appropriate warnings and protective equipment to be prescribed to ensure personnel and equipment safety.
Coordination studies – Coordination studies will offer a thorough evaluation of the protective devices of a system, including protective relays, fuses, circuit breakers, and the circuits they intend to protect.
Short circuit analysis – Short circuit analysis is utilized to determine the magnitude of short circuit current that the system is capable of producing, which is then compared to the magnitude of the interrupting rating of the overcurrent protective devices. The knowledge gained from short circuit analysis is crucial to the ability of protective devices to interrupt these short circuit currents.
Load assessment – A basic electrical load assessment will list all of the electrical devices within a facility, their power ratings or loads, and the approximate number of hours that the device or equipment operates daily. The result of a load assessment is an estimate of a facility’s power consumption and provides the information required to improve efficiency and reduce overall costs.
Maintenance Services
Infrared Thermography (IR scan) – Our team of highly trained electrical engineers and thermographers utilize the latest technology to perform all infrared scan inspections. The use of infrared thermographic scanning is a crucial step in effective electrical preventative maintenance programs, allowing us to find issues before they become critical. Using infrared thermography, our goal is to detect both common and uncommon issues that typically lead to critical disruptions. Using our specialized equipment, we are able to identify hotspots that are difficult to see through surface inspections and conducting virus scanning to safely identify electrical problems.
Breaker maintenance and testing – Breaker maintenance is essential to ensure that breakers continue to be able to support critical loads reliably and operate safely when required.
Commissioning emergency power services – Commissioning services are offered for all installations to ensure that they are safe and meet all of the design requirements. Commissioning is incorporated into each stage of a project from pre-design until the final verification at project closing.
Automatic transfer switches – Automatic transfer switches function by providing a reliable means of transferring essential load connections between primary and alternate sources of electrical power. Settings that require continuous uptime, will use an alternate emergency power source, such as a generator, in case the primary power source becomes temporarily unavailable. Automatic transfer switches allow users to access seamless and reliable power in the case of an outage by automatically transferring power to the generator when utility power fails.
Protective relays – Protective relays are utilized to correct electrical problems and they do so by detecting a problem and working to restore the system to its normal conditions. Protective relays work to reduce the chance of damage to personnel and equipment.
Battery – Installation, maintenance, replacement, removal, and recycling
Repair and emergency – Dispatch services available 24/7 for electrical equipment misoperation or failure.
