News From Zensol Automation Inc

Founded by Fouad Brikci, Ph.D., Zensol specializes mainly in instruments targeted at the electrical energy industry and maintenance services.

Zensol has become the pioneer in a new testing method to detect problems in on line tap changers, circuit breakers and reclosers. We have the knowledge to use this innovative technology while the transformers and circuit breakers are on line.

Designer by our engineers, they are portable and suitable for harsh environments (extreme temperatures from -40°C to +60°C). They are known for their sturdiness and their performance and a life expectancy of 15 years and more.
