Material Analysis
The material used in electrical equipment must withstand the extremes of nature and time to ensure proper functioning of your power system. S&C offers a comprehensive diagnostic package to fulfill the material and environmental-simulation testing requirements of your electrical equipment. Problems are analyzed using sophisticated techniques such as Fourier transform infrared spectrometry, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive x-ray spectrometry, differential scanning calorimetry, and thermogravimetry.
S&C’s professionals can then reconstruct how specific materials or contaminants contribute to an equipment problem, or predict how the same material will react in different environments through a variety of material type tests. We can provide you clear recommendations for improved performance or corrective action.
