Secondary Injection Testing
Testing of trip units on protection devices ensures a high level of confidence and predictability should your electrical system ever experience a disturbance. When you have confidence in your protection, you have significantly reduced your risk.

Secondary injection testing injects simulated waveforms into the protection device and analyzes the response, then compares it to the expected response to validate the protection device. It should be carried out periodically according to the manufacturer’s recommendation, local or applicable regulations, or after any service to a circuit breaker.

Protection and Coordination Study
Contact AKA before you implement a new electrical distribution system design to ensure safe, efficient and economical operation. AKA has an extensive engineering tool set to carry out system analysis such as short circuit and coordination studies.
