Existing facilities sometimes have problems with nuisance circuit breaker tripping or large outages after small faults. Selective Coordination involves adjusting circuit breakers to ensure reduced nuisance tripping and localized outages during faults. We perform:

• Code-required selective coordination for emergency and healthcare systems.

• General coordination investigations, reports, and if necessary, corrective designs.

• Investigation of mechanical and industrial electrical problems.
