Electrical & Mechanical Retrofitting

Electrical mechanical Retrofitting

Electrical distribution retrofitting consists of replacing switchgear components to upgrade, renew, or provide more functionality, such as connectivity. It is often used on outdated active components like circuit breakers in primary distribution, contactors, and protection relays to prolong the switchgear’s lifespan. Obsolete active components can be refurbished and repaired or recycled, and switchgear housing and accessories, such as plugs, lights, and extra LV cabinets, can be reused.
How do you determine if it’s time to modernize? There are some important issues to take into account:
-Improved reliability
-Maintenance cost
-Spare parts availability
-Urgency of modernization
-Degree of equipment wear
-Technology and improved capabilities
-Safety
