The Benefits of Customized Electrical Testing Solutions

Many standardized electrical testing solutions are commonplace for electrical components and devices. However, customizing these solutions opens the door to new opportunities for innovative advancement, quality control, and increased safety precautions.

Many low-power components require very standard testing procedures such as battery testing, voltage tests, and signal conditioning. However, more complex systems with higher-power components require much more intensive testing capabilities, often with more extensive voltage testing and precautions because of the high levels of power being utilized. For systems such as these, customized electrical testing solutions can be designed to test these complex systems precisely and safely while standardized equipment cannot. This is especially beneficial for innovative equipment that requires non-standard testing in order to function properly.

Consequences of Improper Electrical Testing

Electrical testing is crucial for working with electrical components, and improperly-conducted testing can have severe consequences on employees, facilities, and consumers themselves. Electrical testing is utilized throughout every step of the production process, from the initial design to the final product, and is used to determine that each component and individual piece functions properly and safely.

Safety is one of the primary concerns regarding electrical testing. Without properly measuring voltages and electrical components, it’s possible for malfunctions to cause electrocution or even an electrical fire. Thorough and routine electrical testing can help to prevent these hazardous conditions and limit overall risk in the workplace. Furthermore, if electrical testing isn’t properly conducted in the design and production phase, these dangerous hazards can occur with customers themselves.

While standard testing solutions exist for conventional electrical components, choosing a supplier that has the industry knowledge, practical expertise, and desire to innovate, provides a broader range of possibilities for your company’s unique needs.

Adaptability
The automotive industry is one of the most critical consumers of electrical testing equipment. The automotive industry has been consistently progressing as new trends appear and technology advances. An innovative supplier can adapt to these advancements with new testing solutions - solutions fit for the influx of electric vehicles, new safety precautions, more sophisticated features, and more.

Customizability
As opposed to suppliers who may specialize in a few select testing programs and pieces of equipment, there’s great value in choosing a supplier that can tweak and redesign to fit your unique specifications. Whether that’s designing an electrical testing solution for a new type of machine or altering a standard solution to test new temperature ranges, this type of supplier offers a greater variety of options.

Customer Communication
Suppliers that value the client’s input in the design, manufacturing, testing, and delivery phases ensure that specifications are met. This type of relationship is often lost when a client is choosing standardized testing equipment that requires less frequent or thorough communication.

TPI has been a staple in the electrical testing industry for decades due to its ability to innovate and customize solutions to fit each client’s unique needs. Choosing a supplier with the ability to reconfigure, redesign, and collaborate with the client along every step of the way ensures that the final solution is uniquely efficient and reliable.

Electrical testing is a crucial part of the production process, but it can present risks if proper protocol and tools are not used. The following safety procedures help to minimize risks:

• Proper planning and preparation of the tools, equipment and workers needed prior to testing
• Perform an official risk assessment to determine potential hazards before the electrical testing
• De-energize all energized parts prior to testing using voltage proximity testers and digital multimeters
• Create an electrically safe work environment by placing tools in clean spaces with a low risk of energy discharge
