Grounding of electrical equipment protects personnel and equipment from overloads, faults, and lightning storms. By providing a solid reference to earth, your system is provided with a safe means of voltage stability.

Industrial ground testing services to verify the integrity of the grounding system are essential for the safety of workforces, assets and overall operation. Monitoring electrical systems and fixing trouble areas can help avoid disaster, downtime and injury.

Infrared industrial electrical inspections find hot spots caused by defects in connections and components, overloaded electrical circuits. Infrared thermal imaging is used to find areas of excess heat so that problems can be corrected before a component fails, creates safety hazards, or causes industrial operations to stop.

Thermal imaging is the best non-invasive and safest diagnostic tools available for finding hot connections in the early stages of degeneration. Thermal imaging helps to find and prevent problems before they cause damage to personnel, equipment and facility systems.

Electrical Elite has trained personnel to provide preventative maintenance and service contracts on equipment and electrical systems for industrial facilities. Since industrial equipment is costly to repair, preventing large-scale breakdowns with simple maintenance schedules can eliminate downtime and save businesses money.

According to Natural Resource Canada, industrial energy systems such as combustion, process heating, combined heat and power, compressed air, motors, pumps and fans, account for approximately 80% of all energy used by industry. On average, 30% to 40% of that energy is lost.

Energy-efficient management systems can help reduce and recover this lost energy, thereby lowering production costs as well as their need for fossil fuels. These programs also aid in mitigating the threat of global warming by reducing the GHGs emitted by industrial processes.

Voltage sags, spikes, harmonics, and transients quietly damage your equipment and drive up your energy costs — often without anyone noticing until a critical piece of machinery fails or your utility bill spikes. Poor power quality is one of the most common causes of unplanned downtime in industrial facilities, and it's also one of the most preventable.

Our team installs monitoring equipment on your incoming service and critical circuits, logs the data over time, and delivers a clear report showing where the issues are and what they're costing you. From there, we recommend targeted fixes — surge protection, harmonic filters, isolation transformers, or upstream corrections — so your equipment lasts longer, your energy use drops, and your operations run smoother.

A low power factor means you're paying for electricity you can't actually use — and in Ontario, utilities often add penalties on top of that. Motors, transformers, and other inductive loads on the plant floor drag your power factor down, wasting capacity in your electrical system and adding thousands of dollars to your annual bill.

We measure your facility's current power factor, size the correction equipment properly for your load profile, and install capacitor banks or active correction systems to bring you back into an efficient range. The result is lower utility bills, more usable capacity in your existing service, and less strain on your equipment — often with a payback period of a year or less.
