Electrical Asset Monitoring for Critical Infrastructure
Identify developing electrical asset risks before they become downtime, emergency repair or costly replacement.
Our electrical asset monitoring service is designed for high-energy, operationally critical environments where failure can lead to downtime, safety exposure, production disruption, emergency repair or reputational risk.
Unlock peak performance across your assets with connected insights, predictive maintenance and intelligent energy optimisation. Reduce the risk of single points of failure, extend the overall lifetime and reliability of your entire system.
Helping You Monitor the Assets That Keep Your Site Running
ACTENIQ monitors a wide range of critical electrical assets across high-energy and operationally sensitive environments, helping organisations detect developing issues earlier and make better decisions around maintenance, resilience and performance.
We support asset monitoring across critical electrical infrastructure, including HV/LV switchgear, transformers, UPS systems, cable networks, distribution boards, panels, point-of-supply infrastructure and connected BMS, SCADA or DCIM environments.
Monitoring can be deployed as a permanent system, temporary diagnostic deployment or phased programme depending on site priorities, asset risk and operational requirements.
HV Switchgear
Monitor partial discharge, temperature rise and insulation condition across critical HV switchgear.
Transformers
Track partial discharge, thermal hotspots and cooling-related issues across power transformers.
LV Switchgear
Identify overheating, loose connections, insulation deterioration and harmonic-related stress across LV switchgear.
Motors & VSDs
Monitor vibration, temperature and drive-related issues across motors and variable speed drives.
UPS & Backup Power
Track battery health, temperature and charging performance across UPS and backup power systems.
Failures rarely announce themselves. Do you know where your single points of failure are?
The environment around critical electrical assets is more complex than ever. More connected devices, changing loads, power quality issues, higher uptime expectations and limited shutdown windows all make visibility harder to achieve and more important to maintain.
Without live monitoring, operators can be exposed to unplanned outages, emergency repair costs, accelerated asset replacement, safety exposure, SLA breaches and reputational risk.
ACTENIQ helps organisations make critical assets visible, measurable and actionable — from grid incomers, HV/MV switchboards and transformers to LV infrastructure, UPS systems, server racks, motors, drives and process equipment.

How We Monitor Your Assets
From Hidden Risk to Practical Action
ACTENIQ combines engineering expertise, monitoring technology and practical delivery to help organisations understand what is happening across their electrical infrastructure and what to do next.
Audit
We assess your assets. Analyse energy use. Identify quick wins. Then set a technology agnostic path to smarter performance with a clear, comprehensive report.
Digitise
We modernise and retrofit assets with digital connectivity. Smart sensors and edge tech bring real-time insights. See more. Know more. Drive performance.
Visualise
Complexity to clarity. By analysing trends and asset health, we manage risks and consider criticality to proactively take action. We match the best OEM tech to every asset. Precision. Performance. Lasting value.
Optimise
Meaningful action. We boost resilience and uptime. Consultancy, project delivery and smart upgrades refresh and modernise. We evaluate spares, act on insights and drive marginal gains to reduce your costs, not increase them. Focused on insight to drive action.
Real Projects. Practical Outcomes
When a UPS failure revealed a wider infrastructure risk
After a critical UPS failed unexpectedly at a scientific research lab, the priority was not just replacing the equipment. The client needed to understand whether the failure was isolated, or linked to wider power quality and supply conditions.
ACTENIQ helped create the visibility needed to investigate the issue properly and support more informed decisions around resilience, remediation and ongoing monitoring.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is electrical asset monitoring?
Electrical asset monitoring is the process of continuously assessing the condition, performance and health of critical electrical infrastructure. This can include transformers, switchgear, cable systems, UPS installations, protection systems and wider power distribution networks.
Whilst routine inspections and maintenance programmes remain an important part of asset management, they are only as accurate as the day they are completed. Asset monitoring provides ongoing visibility between inspections, helping identify developing issues that may otherwise go unnoticed until the next maintenance visit.
Using technologies such as partial discharge monitoring, thermal monitoring, power quality analysis, environmental sensing and energy metering, organisations can gain a clearer understanding of asset condition, reduce operational risk and make more informed maintenance and investment decisions.
Do we need to rip out existing systems to work with you?
No. ACTENIQ specialises in delivering monitoring solutions for both existing brownfield installations and new greenfield projects.
Our monitoring technologies are designed to be deployed onto existing electrical infrastructure with minimal disruption, allowing older assets to achieve the same level of visibility and condition monitoring as newly installed equipment. In most cases there is very little difference between how monitoring is deployed on a legacy asset compared to a new installation.
Our engineering teams are experienced in working within live operational environments and tight shutdown windows, ensuring monitoring systems can be installed safely and efficiently whilst minimising impact on site operations.
What assets can ACTENIQ monitor?
ACTENIQ supports monitoring across a wide range of electrical assets and systems, including HV and LV switchgear, transformers, cable networks, UPS systems, generators, busbar systems, protection relays, power quality meters and critical distribution infrastructure.
We can also integrate with existing BMS, SCADA, DCIM, power monitoring and energy management platforms, providing a consolidated view of asset condition, operational performance and electrical network health.
How long does a typical project take to deliver results?
Project timescales vary depending on the scope and complexity of the installation. Initial site surveys and recommendations can often be delivered within days, whilst monitoring deployments typically range from a few days for temporary assessments through to several weeks for larger permanent installations.
In most cases, customers begin receiving valuable data and actionable insights shortly after monitoring equipment is commissioned, allowing decisions to be made long before a wider programme is completed.
How does asset monitoring support predictive maintenance?
Asset monitoring provides the condition data needed to move beyond time-based maintenance programmes and towards condition-based maintenance strategies.
By continuously tracking asset health indicators such as partial discharge activity, temperature, load levels, power quality and environmental conditions, maintenance teams can identify deterioration trends early and prioritise intervention where it is genuinely needed. This helps reduce unplanned outages, optimise maintenance expenditure and improve asset reliability.
Can asset monitoring help extend asset life?
Yes. Understanding how an asset is performing in its real operating environment allows maintenance and investment decisions to be be based on evidence rather than age alone.
Monitoring can identify assets that remain healthy and capable of continued service, helping defer unnecessary replacement costs. It can also highlight emerging issues early enough for targeted intervention, reducing the likelihood of major failures and supporting longer, safer asset lifecycles.
