Electrical Panels – A Critical Component in Electrical Infrastructure

Electrical panels are a central element in electrical infrastructure across all facilities. They play a crucial role in maintaining the stability and safety of the electrical system, containing the necessary switching and protective components to safeguard both the facility and its users.

The Problem

Electrical panels consist of numerous components, both static and dynamic, and are often installed in challenging environments. These factors contribute to wear and tear, leading to risks such as loose connections, overheating, pest or water infiltration, and gradual degradation.

In many cases, electrical failures exist from the day of installation due to poor design or substandard execution. Traditional protection systems in electrical panels cover only about 5% of the most hazardous electrical faults, which can result in fire hazards, electrocution, and damage to connected equipment.

Existing Solution

Maintenance teams typically conduct preventive maintenance once a year, involving scheduled power shutdowns, routine inspections, thermal imaging, and bolt tightening. This process is costly, requires production downtime, and its success depends on the skill of the technicians—and sometimes luck—since failures may develop between maintenance cycles.

The GES Solution

The GES system, installed in electrical panels, provides 24/7 real-time monitoring without requiring power shutdowns. It utilizes ESP’s proprietary high-frequency sensors and controllers to conduct continuous electrical measurements. The collected data is analyzed by ESP's advanced algorithms, enabling early detection of failures, trends, and conditions leading to potential faults.

This predictive maintenance approach allows users to address issues before they escalate, preventing costly breakdowns and ensuring stable operation.

Additional Capabilities

Energy Measurement & Billing – Generates detailed electricity consumption reports.

Early Detection of Electrical Faults – Identifies issues in their initial stages.

High-Resolution Data Logging – Captures electrical parameters with 40ms resolution.

Power Quality Analyzer – Conducts FFT waveform and harmonic analysis.

Smart Building Integration – Includes five programmable relays for remote control.

Loose Connection Monitoring – Detects weak electrical contacts in panels.

Using the GES system eliminates the need for periodic preventive maintenance while enhancing the stability and safety of the electrical infrastructure.

Additional Data Transmission Capabilities

Each controller features eight input channels capable of receiving 4-20mA analog signals or converting them into digital inputs (1/0). This enables monitoring of temperature, humidity, pressure, wind speed, and more, providing comprehensive insights into the facility’s operational conditions.
