PROCESS
At Northern Power Electronics, we are committed to delivering fast and effective fault-finding services, helping minimise downtime and keep your equipment running at peak performance.
Our workshop, conveniently located near you, is equipped with state-of-the-art diagnostic tools. With extensive experience across multiple industries, our expert team ensures a reliable and comprehensive service you can trust
-
When equipment arrives at our workshop, our qualified engineers start by gathering all relevant information about the issue. This includes the equipment's history, any symptoms or warning signs reported by the client, and the operational environment. This initial assessment helps us understand the context and narrow down potential causes from the outset.
-
Our team performs a visual inspection to identify obvious issues, such as loose connections, corrosion, or damaged components. We then conduct a functional inspection to observe how the equipment behaves under normal operating conditions, which can reveal underlying problems.
-
Using specialised diagnostic tools such as mustimeters, oscilloscopes, and thermal imaging devices and fault locator equipment we perform detailed tests to locate the exact fault. Depending on the type of equipment, we may also use software diagnostics to further pinpoint issues.
-
Once the fault is identified, we analyse its root cause and document our findings in a detailed report. This report outlines the problem, the suspected cause, and our recommendations for repair or replacement, allowing clients to make informed decisions about the next steps.
-
Based on our findings, we propose the most effective and cost-efficient solution. This may include immediate repairs, part replacements, refurbishment, or recommendations for preventative maintenance to avoid similar issues in the future.
Professional Diagnostic Equipment
ABI BoardMaster In-Circuit Testing
We operate an ABI BoardMaster in-circuit test system - professional diagnostic equipment that enables component-level fault finding without desoldering or removing parts from the PCB.
This technology allows us to:
- Test resistors, capacitors, diodes, transistors, and ICs while still soldered to the board
- Identify degraded components before complete failure
- Diagnose faults on multi-layer PCBs where visual inspection is ineffective
- Locate short circuits and open circuits with precision
- Reverse-engineer circuits when schematics are unavailable
Critical for obsolete equipment fault finding where manufacturer support no longer exists and documentation is missing. The ABI BoardMaster significantly increases our diagnostic success rate on complex industrial, marine, and offshore electronics that other workshops cannot fault-find.
Combined with thermal imaging cameras, oscilloscopes, curve tracers, and programmable power supplies, we diagnose faults other repair shops miss - especially intermittent faults that only appear under specific load or temperature conditions.
