US Electrical Testing Company Joins EA Technology Group

Florida and Oregon-based No-Outage Electrical Testing Inc. has joined the fast-growing EA Technology Group, to roll out the latest techniques for non-invasive assessment of the condition of Medium Voltage (MV) equipment across the USA.

Headquartered in Capenhurst, UK, EA Technology has offices in Australia, UAE and China, together with 36 international distributors. Global sales of the group's UltraTEV products for measuring Partial Discharge (PD) activity in MV equipment have increased more than 1300% in the last three years.

No-Outage President Don Genutis said: "We have no doubt that PD measurement is the most important technique available for identifying faults in MV plant before they lead to failures – and that EA Technology produces the best PD test equipment in the world."

The company has been a successful distributor for EA Technology and has used its products in the field for the last two years. It will continue to trade as No-Outage Electrical Testing in the immediate future, before transitioning into EA Technology USA.

EA Technology Group CEO Robert Davis added: "Our alliance with No-Outage is perfect. They are service-based people who know exactly what US customers want from non-invasive equipment testing, and we have the technologies which will enable them to deliver it."

EA Technology has more than 40 years experience working with MV assets and its scientists were the first to recognize the importance of Transient Earth Voltage (TEV) effects, in the 1970s.

First appearing in 2003, EA Technology's UltraTEV instruments represent a step change in PD measurement, because they measure effects deep in the insulation, as well as surface emissions. The range has since grown from hand-held ‘first pass' PD detectors, to instruments for investigating PD activity in detail, up to fully automatic web-enabled systems for detecting, locating, measuring, analyzing and reporting PD activity in hundreds of pieces of MV equipment simultaneously, 24/7.

Don Genutis has been a NETA Certified Technician for 15 years and has over 25 years of practical field and laboratory electrical testing experience. He founded No-Outage Electrical Testing, Inc., to focus on new inspection technologies that are performed while the equipment remains in service. The company is based in Florida, with west coast offices in Oregon.
