Switchgear is the nerve center of any facility’s electrical distribution system. When it fails, the consequences can be catastrophic, leading to extensive downtime, significant financial loss, and serious safety hazards. Mission Critical Forensics provides expert, evidence-based investigation to determine the precise root cause of switchgear failures for clients across Ontario.
Our investigations have included catastrophic arc flash events at main electrical distribution switchboards, providing us with the deep expertise required for your most complex cases. We analyze the evidence to deliver definitive conclusions that support insurance claims, subrogation efforts, and strategies to prevent recurrence.
We meticulously investigate the cause and origin of arc flash incidents. Our analysis identifies the sequence of events leading to the failure, assessing factors such as equipment condition, maintenance procedures, and protective device coordination to determine why the event occurred.
Our investigations cover failures in circuit breakers, protective relays, and associated control systems. We determine if the failure was caused by a component defect, improper settings, lack of maintenance, or other contributing factors.
Our expertise spans the full spectrum of electrical systems, allowing us to conduct thorough forensic analysis on failures in low, medium, and high-voltage switchgear.
All complex loss investigations are led by our Principal Engineer, Alicia Yan P.Eng. CFEI
