In compliance with PRC - 005 NERC reliability requirements

Sentinel Electric Inc. provides testing and commissioning services to utilities for their protection and control projects. On a typical project (apparatus change out or relay protection upgrade), Sentinel Electric Inc. will dedicate a Commissioning Engineer to prepare, oversee, test and install those components and systems. Our Commissioning Engineers are experienced in commissioning of greenfield projects as well as modifications. Some of the Commissioning Engineer’s responsibilities are to review the design drawings, develop and execute test plans provide technical direction to the protective relay engineer, equipment specialist and control board wiremen, and perform final in-service checks when bringing the equipment online for the first time. To learn more about our substation testing, contact us today.
