AMKA Engineering
Find hidden electrical risk before it becomes an outage.
An Electrical Health Assessment is the preferred first step when the question is equipment condition. If the need starts with supply behaviour, transformers, earthing, protection, corrective work or an existing report, AMKA routes it separately before quoting.
Preferred first step What is degrading inside the equipment that nobody can see yet?
02 / Before the method
Start with the decision, not the instrument.
A reading only matters when it supports a real operating decision. AMKA starts with the asset, the concern and what the evidence must help you decide.
- 01 / Decision
Name what the work must support.
Keep running, plan an outage, verify a repair or set the next maintenance budget.
- 02 / Context
Use the evidence already available.
Asset lists, BQs, symptoms, reports and images narrow the question before more work is proposed.
- 03 / Method
Select only the evidence the decision needs.
Condition screening, deeper electrical testing or a second view—each keeps its own written boundary.
03 / From the field
The screening methods, on real jobs.
Thermography screens the connection path. TEV and ultrasound screen the insulation path. Together they reveal different failure mechanisms while equipment remains in service.
Transformer heat pattern
Operating condition captured through the thermal camera while the equipment remained in service.
Switchboard comparison
Components compared under operating load so an abnormal connection can be separated from normal heat.
TEV
Discharge activity read through the closed metal panel while the switchgear remained live.
Ultrasound
Airborne discharge checked at panel joints with the switchgear closed and running.

04 / Scope before commitment
One electrical need. One accountable proposal.
The free proposal turns the starting question into a defined evidence route before site work begins.
- 01
State the decision.
Name the asset, operating concern, evidence already available and what the work must support.
- 02
Choose the evidence route.
AMKA identifies the method, access requirements and whether deeper or specialist work is justified.
- 03
Write the boundary.
Assets, delivery responsibility, exclusions, outputs and price are fixed in the proposal or quotation.
Selected past clients
Electrical survey work already delivered.
Thermography and partial discharge surveys delivered across industrial and port environments, including Panasonic, Westports and GDC Putrajaya.
05 / Reports you can defend
Evidence your decisions can stand on.
Where included in the agreed engagement, findings are reviewed and endorsed by the named Professional Engineer. The endorsement scope and report limitations are stated per job.
What arrivesFindings with photos and readings, each rated by severity; a recommendation per finding — repair, monitor, retest, or leave alone; and the report’s limits stated.
EndorsementProfessional Engineer endorsement (ST-registered, 275kV) is included where the agreed engagement requires it — the engineer is named in the quotation, with the endorsement scope stated per job.
Equipment & competencyFLIR thermal imaging; EA Technology UltraTEV Plus 2 for partial discharge — certified by its maker. Thermography certified by the Infraspection Institute (SNT-TC-1A). BO 33kV Competent Person for safe HV isolation. Personnel credentials, not company registrations.
Applicable references & requirementsRelevant authorities, requirements and technical references are identified per scope. These may include ST · DOSH · TNB · NFPA 70B · IEEE · NETA where applicable.
