INDUSTRIES WE SERVE
Deep expertise across every segment of the power utility industry — from generation to end-use.
Power generation facilities operate some of the most complex and high-stakes electrical systems in existence. A single relay misoperation or transformer failure can take a unit offline for weeks, costing millions in lost generation revenue and potentially destabilizing the grid.
AMP Testing provides comprehensive testing and commissioning services for all types of generation facilities — from combined-cycle gas turbines and coal plants to nuclear auxiliary systems. Our technicians understand the unique challenges of generation environments, including high-energy arc flash hazards, complex protection schemes, and the critical importance of coordinated outage scheduling.
Key Services
- Generator protection relay testing
- Unit transformer acceptance and maintenance testing
- Excitation system testing
- Bus differential and backup protection testing
- Station service switchgear testing
- Battery and DC system testing
The rapid growth of utility-scale solar and wind has created enormous demand for specialized electrical testing expertise. Renewable facilities present unique challenges — large numbers of distributed inverters, complex collection systems, and interconnection requirements that demand precise protection coordination.
Our team has extensive experience commissioning utility-scale solar PV and wind projects, from 10MW community solar installations to 500MW+ utility-scale farms. We work closely with EPC contractors and developers to develop testing programs that keep projects on schedule while ensuring every component is verified before energization.
Key Services
- Inverter and combiner box testing
- MV collection system cable testing
- Collector substation commissioning
- Interconnection protection relay testing
- Revenue metering verification
- SCADA and monitoring system commissioning
- Infrared drone flyover and remediation
Substations are the critical nodes of the electrical grid — points where voltage is transformed, power is switched, and protection systems must operate with split-second precision. A failure at a substation can affect thousands of customers and take hours or days to restore.
AMP Testing has performed acceptance and maintenance testing at hundreds of substations across voltage classes from 4kV distribution to 500kV transmission. We understand the operational constraints of live substations and work closely with utility operations teams to plan and execute testing safely with minimal impact on system reliability.
Key Services
- Power transformer acceptance and maintenance testing
- Circuit breaker timing and contact resistance testing
- Bus and transformer differential relay testing
- Distance and overcurrent relay testing
- Capacitor bank and reactor testing
- Control and SCADA system testing
Transmission and distribution systems span thousands of miles and must operate reliably under all conditions. The protection systems guarding these assets must be precisely calibrated to isolate faults quickly while minimizing the impact on the broader network.
Our transmission and distribution testing services support utilities, cooperatives, and municipal power systems in maintaining the reliability of their networks. From high-voltage cable testing to distribution automation commissioning, we bring the expertise and equipment to handle the full range of T&D testing requirements.
Key Services
- High-voltage cable testing (VLF, tan delta)
- Line protection relay testing
- Recloser and sectionalizer testing
- Distribution automation commissioning
- Capacitor bank switching transient analysis
- Grounding system testing
Industrial facilities depend on reliable electrical power to keep production running. An unplanned outage in a refinery or chemical plant can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars per hour — and in some cases, create serious safety hazards for personnel and the surrounding community.
AMP Testing provides electrical testing services for refineries, petrochemical plants, pulp and paper mills, data centers, and other industrial facilities. We are experienced working in classified hazardous locations and understand the unique safety requirements of industrial environments.
Key Services
- Medium-voltage switchgear testing
- Motor control center testing
- Arc flash hazard analysis support
- Grounding and bonding verification
- UPS and emergency power system testing
- Infrared thermographic scanning
EPC firms and general contractors need a testing partner they can count on to deliver accurate results on tight schedules without creating problems for the broader project team. AMP Testing has built a reputation as a reliable, professional testing subcontractor that integrates seamlessly into complex project environments.
We work with EPC firms on projects of all sizes, from small industrial installations to multi-hundred-million-dollar power infrastructure projects. Our project managers communicate proactively, our technicians show up prepared, and our reports are delivered on time. We understand that our performance reflects on your project.
Key Services
- Pre-energization testing programs
- Commissioning plan development
- Integrated systems testing
- Punch list resolution support
