Case Studies

Case Study 1 – Industrial Manufacturing Plant (Ohio, USA)
ElectricalTestTek provided insulation resistance testers for a major automotive parts supplier facing frequent motor breakdowns. After implementing a routine insulation testing protocol with our testers, failure rates dropped by 42%, increasing equipment uptime and lowering maintenance costs.

Case Study 2 – Wind Energy Farm (Texas, USA)
A renewable energy operator integrated GAO Tek insulation resistance testers supplied by ElectricalTestTek to evaluate turbine wiring integrity. These tests revealed degradation in older systems and helped plan component replacements, improving overall energy output and reducing emergency repairs.

Case Study 3 – Facilities Management Group (Alberta, Canada)
A leading property management firm adopted our testers for routine inspections of large HVAC systems and backup generators. By integrating regular IR testing, they reported a 30% drop in equipment failure-related downtime across 15 commercial buildings.
