Electric Equipment Testing Services
Jorgensen Company operates as a dedicated safety service organization. We supply industrial facilities across California with specialized diagnostic solutions. We deliver precise dielectric testing services and rubber glove testing to verify high-voltage PPE. To protect utility crews from hazardous currents, protective equipment must satisfy strict electrical PPE testing requirements established under OSHA 29 CFR and ASTM F496. Learn more about electric equipment testing, comprehensive diagnostic protocols, and our specialized laboratory capabilities.
What is Electric Equipment Testing?
Electrical personnel in the construction and electric utility sectors rely on insulating gear to isolate dangerous currents. Regular field deployment degrades these protective materials over time through UV exposure, chemical contact, and physical abrasion. Oils, petroleum products, and sharp tools cause unseen structural damage that severely compromises rubber insulation. Visual field inspections cannot reliably detect microscopic compromises. Detecting these hidden anomalies requires controlled, specialized laboratory conditions.
Comprehensive Dielectric Testing Services for High-Voltage PPE
Facilities must maintain continuous compliance with federal safety mandates to protect workers from arc flashes and accidental electrocution. We provide targeted dielectric testing services to accurately validate the integrity of high-voltage PPE. Your equipment undergoes rigorous rubber-glove testing in a certified laboratory. Protective barriers are filled with conductive water, and severe electrical charges are applied to the exterior. They fill protective barriers with conductive water and apply severe electrical charges to the exterior. This process confirms compliance with mandatory electrical PPE testing requirements outlined in OSHA 29 CFR and ASTM F496.
Our laboratory tests a vast catalog of safety assets:
- Rubber insulating gloves and sleeves. We test Class 00 through Class 4 rubber gloves and sleeves rated for 5 to 40 KV.
- Rubber insulating footwear. Our technicians evaluate 5-20 kV overshoes and standard boots.
- Rubber insulating blankets. We process Class 0 through Class 4 blankets.
- Rubber insulating line equipment. We test protective hoses, hoods, and covers.
- Plastic line guards. We evaluate solid plastic guards for structural integrity.
- Hotline jumpers and ground sets. We conduct precise insulation and voltage drop calculations.
Specialized Testing for Hot Line Tools
Protecting maintenance crews requires continuous evaluation of specialized fiberglass and insulated tools. Your hot line tools undergo rigorous cleaning, waxing, and diagnostic procedures… Switch sticks, standard straight sticks, and complex telescopic sticks are all evaluated, along with shotgun-style grip-all sticks and manufacturer functional tests on voltage detectors.
The Diagnostic Process
Our safety promise means your equipment is tested beyond maximum field requirements to confirm reliable protection against severe electrical hazards. Every evaluation follows a multi-stage verification process:
- Visual and physical inspections. Technicians inflate the rubber gear to inspect for cuts, ozone checking, and surface abrasions.
- Extreme load application. Automated diagnostic machinery applies specified voltages to detect microscopic pinholes and structural weak points.
- Certification marking. Approved safety assets receive high-visibility date stamps to help accurately track compliance intervals.
