Energy
Addressing diverse needs in electrical safety, preventive maintenance, and environmental measurement for buildings and facilities. We also collaborate with customers in developing new technologies for alternative energy generation in pursuit of a decarbonized society.

Is this installation safe, and will it still be safe next quarter?
These are the measurements that decide the answer, and the ones most often taken badly.
Insulation that has degraded since the last test but has not failed yet.
Leakage current that trips a breaker once a week and never at the same hour.
Harmonics and voltage sags that damage equipment the invoice blames on the equipment.
Earth resistance that was compliant at commissioning and has drifted since.
Where the measurements are taken
Supply quality: sags, swells, harmonics, flicker
Incoming supply
Everything downstream inherits whatever arrives here. Measure it before blaming the equipment.
Insulation resistance of windings
Transformer
Insulation does not fail suddenly. It trends, and the trend is only visible if someone measured it last year too.
Leakage and load current, without disconnection
Main switchgear
The leakage that trips a breaker once a week is milliamps on a conductor carrying hundreds of amps.
Power and energy over time
Distribution busbar
Consumption is attributed by circuit or it is not attributed at all.
Earth resistance, phase sequence, live-line check
PV array / generation
The three checks that happen before anyone is allowed to start work.
Any of the above, continuously, after everyone leaves
Remote monitoring
Degradation happens on a timescale nobody can stand and watch.
Instruments used in energy
Bring us the energy measurement you are stuck on.
Describe the installation and the quantity. We will say which instrument group measures it and what the measurement actually needs to resolve.
What has to be true inside the company
Four criteria of innovation, and the reason a measurement can be trusted outside it.
Increasing customer value
Production system
A production system built so that a measurement need turns into a delivered, calibrated instrument without the customer absorbing the delay.
Delivering peace of mind to customers
After-sales service
An instrument is only as good as the number it still reports in year five. After-sales service exists to keep that number trustworthy.
Pursuing productivity and precision
Manufacturing capabilities
Precision is a manufacturing capability before it is a specification. It is held in the process, not promised in the catalog.
Creating new customer value
Collaborative development of new products
When a field has no instrument for the quantity it needs to see, the instrument gets developed with the customer who needs it.
