Electrical safety, asset by asset.

Maintenance and inspection software for electrical safety.

From the switchboard to the grounding system, each asset has its routine and every maintenance job is recorded, under the criteria your plant approves.

The electrical equipment covered by your program.

NOM-029 requires recording who maintained the electrical installation, what they did, with what result and on what date, keeping that record for at least one year and showing it in print or electronic form. VULKRON creates that record, with signature and photo, for each of these assets, whether the work is done by your staff or a contractor.

Switchboards and panels

Motor control centers

Substations

Circuit breakers

Transformers

UPS and emergency generators

Grounding systems

Maintenance also factors into arc flash risk.

If your plant adopts NFPA 70E, the equipment owner is responsible for maintaining it and documenting that maintenance, and the condition of maintenance is part of the arc flash risk assessment. With VULKRON, that documentation stays in each asset's record.

NFPA standards are US consensus standards. In Mexico they apply when adopted by your corporate office, a contract or your insurer; for electrical work, NOM-029 applies, among others. VULKRON does not replace the employer's obligations: appointing the safety officer, training staff, hiring accredited service providers or obtaining the verification reports the authorities or your insurer require.

Electrical criteria

Maintenance and thermography, scheduled to your criteria.

NOM-002 requires an annual inspection program for electrical installations that takes hot spots into account. If your criteria include thermography, VULKRON schedules it as a routine.

The thermographer finds the hot spot before it turns into a shutdown or a fire; VULKRON records the finding and its work order goes on the calendar. The arc flash study, protective device coordination and hazardous area classification are performed by VULKRON Engineers and quoted separately.

If the ground test is critical and out of range, the asset goes red.

NOM-029 requires testing the grounding of the entire installation, for resistance and continuity, at least once a year and recording the values. In VULKRON that test goes on the calendar, and your criteria set the frequency, the acceptable range and whether the test is critical.

In that case, the routine is not closed as approved and the measured value is recorded. What to do about that grounding is your plant's decision.
