4. Panel Meter Calibrations
E.H. Emery Electric Ltd.  provides traceable calibration of analogue and digital panel meters complete with calibration certificate. Our digital calibration sources can accurately reproduce kilowatts, volts, current, synchronization, and frequency to prove the full range of any shipboard metering package.

5. Generator Loadbanking
All generators benefit from load bank testing. Aside from being a valuable tool used for accepting new generators for service, and re-certifying rebuilt generators, load bank testing has additional benefits that go beyond proving nameplate capabilities. Benefits include burning accumulated carbon out of exhaust systems, and the opportunity to prove the functionality of governor and voltage regulator systems. E.H. Emery Electric Ltd.  has two modern 150kW (300kW total) load banks that are ideally suited for testing standby, ship board, and mobile generators at full load.

6. Engine Controls and Transducer Calibrations
E.H. Emery Electric Ltd. works on all forms of engine control and engine monitoring circuitry. We can troubleshoot problems and calibrate engine speed, temperature, and pressure transducers using our Fluke 725 process calibrator.
