The ASSET Company, through its civil engineering partners, is experienced in performing transmission line design associated with its electric substation projects. The ASSET Company will also provide plans, profiles, structure loading trees, framing details, foundation details, fiber attachments, and sag-tension tables to enable the contractor to purchase materials and his installation.

Distribution lines and underground ductbanks are sometimes components of the industrial substation project. The ASSET Company's overhead line designs follow RUS designations and framing details unless otherwise specified by the client. Ductbanks may be designed according to the NEC or custom designed using ASSET's Cyme CYMCAP cable ampacity software.

The ASSET Company, as consulting electrical engineers, excels in assisting the industrial customer to identify his electrical loads, broadly or specifically define the plant connection and distribution and the required system reliability. The ASSET Company will work with the industrial client's electric utility account manager on its interface and, if desired, to negotiate the electric power rate for the new service. The ASSET Company is well equipped and experienced to develop a customized electrical system that perfectly fits the industrial's utilization factors and budget. If the plant process requires only an addition to an existing power substation, we will evaluate remaining transformer and feeder capacity to determine what, if any, new equipment is required.

The ASSET Company's extensive experience in medium and low voltage systems enables us to design systems through 480 V motor control centers and associated motors, control power transformers, lighting panels, HVAC systems, and packaged process equipment.

Our professional project experience qualifies The ASSET Company to address unique requirements of specific projects. For example, if the plant has grown in a patchwork arrangement over time, it may be prudent to develop or update the electrical system model and check equipment short circuit levels and relay and fuse coordination. We are experienced in conducting requisite studies which will reveal problems with device coordination that otherwise would remove more equipment from service than required or keep it in operation longer than needed, resulting in greater equipment damage and life risk. Our professionals can identify under-rated equipment so that the plant can make timely replacement or install mitigating equipment such as current limiting fuses, current limiters, or reactors.

The ASSET Company can perform stand-alone arc flash hazard studies to define the personal protective equipment necessary for different switching, operating, and maintenance operations. We are also experienced in performing power quality and harmonics studies to evaluate possible causes and their effects on motors, controls, computers, and transformer and cable heating. We can specify tuned filters and series reactors where IEEE-519 compliance at the utility interface has been an issue or to mitigate the effects to other equipment. Additionally, The ASSET Company will specify detuned filters to permit power factor and voltage improvement while eliminating the harmful effects of excessive harmonic currents in the capacitor units.
