Standards-Based Testing
Every Carter inspection follows structured protocols benchmarked to NETA and NFPA 110 requirements, with every report including a formal benchmark analysis against NETA standards and annual intervals aligned to NFPA 70B.
Testing & Inspections
Standby systems can go months without running, long enough for connections to loosen and contacts to degrade. Carter's testing and inspection services find problems before they become failures. Every visit produces the documentation that keeps your facility in compliance.
WHAT CARTER TESTS
Transfer Switches & Switchgear
Automatic Transfer Switches (ATS)
Service can be structured as an annual inspection, a deeper de-energized service, or a quarterly maintenance agreement for facilities with active compliance requirements. Carter's ATS inspections evaluate switch components, contact wear and condition, connection integrity, and transfer function, with infrared thermal scanning included to identify overheating before it causes failure. Every inspection produces a formal written report.

Switchgear
Service can be structured as a one-time engagement or as part of an ongoing maintenance program. Carter's switchgear inspections verify mechanical condition, insulation integrity, relay configuration, and system coordination, ranging from visual inspection and infrared thermography through full circuit breaker testing and protective relay verification benchmarked to NETA standards. Every inspection produces a formal written report.
