Mitigating the Risks of Aging Infrastructure

A significant portion of electrical assets, such as transformers and breakers, often operate beyond their intended design life. Unfortunately, run-to-failure maintenance strategies are no longer viable. Unplanned outages can stop production and incur massive recovery costs and safety liabilities. This business model requires a shift from reactive repairs to proactive, data-driven reliability enhancement.

A Comprehensive Approach to System Reliability

Magna IV Engineering provides a bottom-up approach to its engineering-led analysis. We use specific methodologies like fault tree analysis and failure modes and effects analysis. We rank our solutions by criticality and ROI, ensuring we address the most dangerous or costly issues first.

This approach to reliability covers the entire spectrum of life cycle management, including:

• Engineering design: We analyze your system's architecture to uncover latent design deficiencies and coordination errors that could lead to nuisance tripping or catastrophic failure during fault conditions.

• Overall electrical maintenance: Our InterNational Electrical Testing Association-accredited testing validates equipment health, ensuring breakers and relays operate within manufacturer specifications to extend asset life.

• Day-to-day operations: We implement advanced metering and control solutions that provide actionable data, allowing operators to detect anomalies and trend performance before an outage occurs.

Key Benefits of Enhancement

Reliability enhancement can provide several benefits to your company, including:

• Maximized uptime and revenue: Connect reliability directly to the bottom line, preventing unplanned failures and helping facilities protect their revenue streams.

• Extended asset lifespan: Strategic maintenance and retrofits can add years of service to expensive capital equipment, delaying the need for full replacement.

• Ensured safety and compliance: Reliable systems are safe systems — reducing arc flash risks and ensuring regulatory compliance protects personnel from injury and the company from liability.
