Switchgear Upgrades and Repairs

As time quickly passes, switchgear can become outdated, negatively impacting system reliability and making maintenance and repairs more difficult. Timely upgrades modernize aging electrical distribution and emergency power systems by replacing obsolete hardware, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), and human-machine interface (HMI) software with current technology offerings.

Aging Switchgear Creates Business Risk

Many facilities continue operating switchgear systems long after key components have become obsolete.

The results can be:

  • Increased risk of downtime
  • Longer repair times
  • Difficulty sourcing replacement parts
  • Reduced reliability
  • Higher maintenance costs
  • Increased safety concerns
  • Limited visibility into system performance
