Case Studies
Separating Loss-Related Generator Repairs from Long-Term Equipment Deterioration
This case study examines a hydroelectric generator loss involving a stator short-circuiting and arcing event. A forensic analysis distinguished necessary loss-related repairs from broader overhaul work addressing long-term equipment deterioration.
Elevator Failure Investigation: Targeted Repair vs. Full Modernization
This case study examines a commercial elevator failure that initially appeared to support a full modernization project. However, a forensic engineering investigation identified a more specific cause of loss and clarified the scope of repairs actually required.
Repeated Transformer Failures at a Solar Power Plant
This case study provides an overview of a forensic electrical investigation at a grid‑connected solar-electric generating plant that experienced repeated transformer‑related incidents over a relatively short period of time, prompting a deeper technical evaluation.
Electrical Forensics Investigation Supports Root Cause Determination Following Rooftop Busway Explosions
Envista Forensics investigated two rooftop busway explosions at a transit facility and determined that water intrusion into improperly sealed electrical joints caused the failures, leading to a subsequent system redesign.
