Regulatory and energy audit services
Obligatory first step for the development of successful safety, efficiency and electrical quality programs, allowing the definition of the energy management program, which includes alternative energies or cutting-edge unconventional sources, with the most indicated stages for the energy consuming company or entity, from awareness and training
.
Certified and trained electrical auditors.
We manage studies with the necessary audits that allow:
- Define comprehensive energy management programs, in accordance with national and international standards.
.
- Evaluate and implement better technically, operationally and financially, investments for the replacement of energy or implementation of alternative sources of energy such as photovoltaic.
.
- Finally ensure the optimal use of the available resource, including the current tax incentives and prioritize actions according to the best cost-benefit ratio according to technical-operational needs of the system

Regulatory audit
Verification of compliance with electrical safety programs, contributes to the safety of people, equipment and the system itself in its stability and operational reliability.
The electrical audits in Colombia, basic in the development of successful electrical safety programs, are generally based on the standards NTC 2050, NTC 4542, NFPA 70B, Recommended practice for the maintenance of electrical equipment , NFPA 70E, Standard for electrical safety in workplaces , as well as EL RETIE and good electrical safety practices.
A compilation of all the Legislation that governs in Colombia and on which the Normative Audit is supported to guarantee a Safe handling of an Electrical System, can be downloaded from the following link:
Areas of necessary application
Electrical audit
Based on the following studies, with their respective analysis, conclusions and recommendations:
.
Power quality studies (network analyzer), with its reagent study
Study for the selectivity and coordination of protections
Study of incident energy (Arc flash) in areas confined with explosive material (such as in the battery room of telephone exchanges)
Thermography studies (thermal imaging camera)
Studies of grounding systems
Study of shielding systems and their protection against lightning (SPD - Surge Suppressing Devices), including analysis of their risk matrix (to determine the most appropriate modeling of the shielding and grounding system), in accordance with the NTC standard 4552; Observation: SPDs must be categorized and selected according to the short-circuit levels
