Industrial Maintenance

A 10% loss in revenue from operations is the estimated figure resulting from equipment failures and the deterioration in the quality of the power used in industrial processes, which reduces productivity and can even cause production stoppages.

Chauvin Arnoux instruments contribute to:

  • Corrective Maintenance. They identify anomalies and diagnose their causes to help develop a maintenance plan.
  • Conditional and Predictive Maintenance. They measure and monitor to anticipate future failures due to the aging of production equipment.

Anticipating electrical faults in the system or machine

Ensuring the continuous operation of electrical installations and the safety of people and property involves:

  • Checking electrical connections and conductor tightness using micro-ohmmeters by measuring low resistance or continuity
  • Anticipating the aging of electrical insulation by assessing its condition through voltage tests up to 10/15 kV using insulation testers—or megohmmeters
  • Testing the installation’s grounding using ground testers according to the 2P, 3P, or 4P methods, as well as loop tests based on the network configuration
  • Checking leakage currents using clamp meters
  • Testing power transformers using a ratio meter


For electrical maintenance and periodic inspections, multifunction testers combine the main measurement functions: continuity, insulation, grounding, loop, DDR/RCD testing, polarity, and phase sequence. Dielectric strength testers and electrical safety testers round out the product line for testing machines, electrical panels, and portable equipment.

Monitor harmonic disturbances

The widespread use of electronic power supplies in industrial processes is leading to an increase in harmonic disturbances on the power grid, which directly impact the quality of the power distributed. These disturbances may cause failures in the short or medium term in all electrical devices connected to that same grid. Harmonic currents have negative effects on virtually all components of the electrical system, creating new dielectric, thermal, and/or mechanical stresses.

Power system analyzers or harmonic analyzers are therefore essential for quantifying all harmonics present on the grid and implementing an appropriate solution.

Preventing Hot Spots

Thanks to their quick deployment, noncontact temperature measurement systems have become indispensable tools for ensuring safe industrial production conditions. Infrared thermometers and thermal imaging cameras detect anomalies in thermal behavior to prevent:

  • Electrically caused overheating: poor connections, overloads, phase imbalance, faulty contacts, undercalibration
  • Mechanical overheating: wear from friction, bearing defects, insufficient lubrication

Other Physical Parameters in an Industrial Process

Certain production or processing operations require monitoring parameters such as pressure, temperature, flow rate, or level. These parameters are essential to the proper functioning of the process and are adjusted and maintained at the desired values using control and feedback systems.

Examples:

  • Measurement chain verification using portable calibrators equipped with measurement and simulation functions (for current, voltage, and temperature). They are used to perform process loop tests at 4–20 mA or 0–10 V and to verify a temperature measurement chain.
  • Pump maintenance, motor efficiency measurement, or compliance verification: measurement of rotation or object displacement using contact or optical tachometry.
