Services
Switchgear Maintenance
Our comprehensive switchgear maintenance programs ensure optimal performance and longevity of electrical systems. Using advanced diagnostic tools, we identify potential issues before they cause downtime. With ISO-certified technicians, we provide scheduled inspections, cleaning, and component testing for LV/HV systems across industrial, marine, and energy sectors.
Arc Flash Protection
We offer cutting-edge arc flash mitigation systems to protect personnel and equipment. Our solutions include arc fault detection devices that trip circuits in under 1ms, combined with containment technology to minimize damage. Services cover risk assessments, system upgrades, and retrofitting for both new and existing installations.
Partial Discharge Monitoring
Our PD monitoring systems provide early warning of insulation failures in HV/MV assets. Using permanent or temporary sensors, we collect real-time data to predict equipment failures. This proactive approach reduces unplanned downtime while improving safety for critical infrastructure in energy and industrial applications.
24/7 Emergency Support
Available around the clock, our emergency service addresses urgent power system failures. With response teams in three global regions, we provide immediate troubleshooting, repairs, and temporary solutions to restore operations. This service includes SLA-backed guarantees for critical infrastructure clients.
Retrofits & Upgrades
We extend equipment lifecycles through customized retrofit solutions that enhance performance and compliance. Our engineers integrate modern protection relays, digital controls, and safety features into existing switchgear. This cost-effective approach maintains system reliability while meeting current standards and reducing environmental impact.
