COST EFFECTIVE SHOP SOLUTIONS

Many times, our customers need a more cost effective method to restore their apparatus back into service. For those times when you need to just ship equipment out for servicing, Specialty Engineering can be counted on to provide the necessary service.

Typical Reasons Our Customers Need our Shop Services

  1. Voltage regulator, recloser, or breaker that has misoperated but the customer has no way to accurately diagnose the root cause of the malfunction.
  2. Unable to disassemble the equipment to perform critical inspections and tests to diagnose problems.
  3. Unable to procure and install replacement parts and retest to confirm corrective actions are completed and approved for service.
  4. Aging voltage regulator, recloser, or breaker that needs some preventative maintenance testing and/or repair.
  5. Apparatus that can be removed from service for a period of time while testing, diagnostics, and repairs are conducted in the shop.
  6. Where disassembly of apparatus in the field would expose sensitive equipment components to environmental conditions that are intolerable.
  7. Where field services would most likely be more costly than shipping equipment to the shop and/or cost more than the equipment is worth.
  8. Upgrade regulator or recloser controllers.
  9. Upgrade single phase oil-filled reclosers to vacuum bottle reclosers.
  10. Apparatus that has been in long term storage and it's not certain that the apparatus is approved for use on the system.
