- Improves process availability. Unexplained failures on the system can be a manifestation of a power and grounding problem. If left unchecked, these failures can ultimately impact the availability of the system. Power and Grounding Integrity Service is the answer for preventing any Power and Grounding issues in your plant.
- Reduces time and costs of rectifying power and grounding issues. Power and Grounding Services bring two elements to bear: tools and knowledge. Each specialist is trained and experienced on how to use each tool extensively, that leads to the most rapid and cost effective solutions for your issues
- Better Decision Making. Information from trained and experienced experts is critical in determining the best course of action in rectifying any Power and Grounding anomalies and will also guide you in better decision making to improve system health and availability.
- Investigation Preparation - A front end identification of the Power and Ground anomalies through research and discussions with the customer is undertaken in order to assess the nature of the issue.
- Power and Grounding Investigation and Assessment - Using the information and plan developed in researching the problem, our experts will begin probing the system. Probing procedures and steps that may include:
- Measuring Grounding Quality (impendence of the actual grounding)
- Measuring Quality of Enclosure Grounds, i.e. connections, Ground Bars
- Checking build drawings for new projects for possible issues before installation
- Checking as-built drawings for possible issues after installation.
- Visually checking the as-built grounding system and compare to known grounding standards
- Measuring and verifying noise and power levels of several different types of power and communications leading in and out of a DeltaV System.
- Validating that the DeltaV system installation is within the specifications of Emerson Process Management.
- Checking for known problematic areas based on experience in the industry.
- Monitoring/checking FF segments for problems with noise, power, installation, and termination on request.
- Monitoring/checking other Protocols including HART, ASI, Profibus DP, and DeviceNet on request.
- Verifying that the environmental conditions of the DeltaV system meet Emerson Process Management Specifications.
- Data Analysis, Report and Recommendations - Upon completion of the investigation, the team will provide an analysis of the findings in a detailed report and categorized them into “Advised Action”, “Required Action” and “Direct Action”.
