Turn Hidden Risks into Calculated Reliability

Operating complex systems without proactive power system analysis exposes your facility to severe liabilities, from fatal safety incidents to catastrophic downtime. Magna IV Engineering helps mitigate these risks.

As a (NETA)-accredited partner with over 40 years of practical field experience, our engineering studies provide the precise data required to ensure safety compliance, eliminate unexpected outages and extend the lifespan of critical electrical infrastructure.

Comprehensive Studies for Every Application

A reliable power system requires precise mathematical modeling to identify and neutralize threats:

• Arc flash and short circuit analysis: By accurately calculating maximum fault currents and incident energy levels, our engineers provide the data needed to establish safe work boundaries and ensure compliance with NFPA 70E and the Canadian Standards Association (CSA) Z462, while reducing nuisance tripping. These analyses look for both fault currents and arc flash hazards.

• Protective device coordination: We optimize your protective devices to ensure only the breaker closest to the fault trips, eliminating nuisance tripping and preventing production losses.

• Ground grid design and analysis: We ensure your ground grid designs for substations and other projects are compliant and safe. We use advanced computer models to consider factors such as conductor size and length, soil resistivity, surface conditions and grid depth.

• Power factor correction analysis: Our study determines whether inductive loading is excessive. Our report makes recommendations to help you reduce power costs.

• Harmonics analysis: This analysis evaluates harmonic distortion levels and their impact on system performance and losses. A related power quality measurement and analysis study determines how optimized your power system is.

• Load flow and power quality: Inefficient power distribution degrades equipment and drains budgets. We analyze system loading, voltage drops and harmonic distortion to reveal where your infrastructure is stressed, eliminating energy waste and lowering utility penalty charges.

• Failure investigation and grid interconnection: When equipment fails, we provide expert forensic engineering to determine the root cause. Our Grid Interconnection studies assess the impact of new power generation to ensure safe, compliant integration.

We use SKM Power Tools, ETAP, EMTP, CDEGS and other advanced software packages to provide you with industry-leading accuracy and comprehensive results.
