Our Upgrades Mean Peace of Mind

When electrical equipment becomes outdated, your entire system may struggle to meet increasing demands and spare parts for replacement and repair can become harder to procure. Magna IV Engineering can help you develop a plan to replace equipment such as relay, metering and control systems so you enjoy more options to scale. Legacy systems may not support the state-of-the-art equipment you may want to add to your operations. Magna IV Engineering can scope upgrades that can allow you to grow and meet your goals.

With improved diagnostics capabilities and more detailed information about your system, digital upgrades can also help you protect your equipment. Modernization can be one way to mitigate the risk of arc flash, keeping your personnel safer.

Relay, metering and control upgrades can be stand-alone services at Magna IV Engineering or part of a more comprehensive high voltage maintenance (HVM) or upgrade strategy.


Relay Upgrades

Magna IV Engineering can scope out relay upgrades that fit your needs. Upgrading from electromechanical to digital relays speeds and improves fault detection, protecting your equipment and helping you prevent system failures. Newer relays also have innovative features such as self-diagnostics, event and disturbance recording and communications, which give you more functionality.

Digital relays can reduce drifting as well as the need for manual testing, in some cases. Some digital relays have lower maintenance costs compared to older systems.


Metering Upgrades

Moving from multiple analog meters to digital ones offers multifunctionality and real-time, accurate tracking of current, power factor, voltage and other electrical parameters. Magna IV Engineering helps you enjoy plant optimization with detailed monitoring and remote communication.


Control Upgrades

Control modernization for switchgear reduces the risk of arc flash incidents and enables the safe management of high-voltage electrical loads. Our team ensures your newer control can handle your growing needs.

A generator control upgrade is a retrofit that can improve load management, allow for remote diagnostics and monitoring, and enable synchronization of multiple gen-sets. Newer digital systems offer detailed diagnostics and better protection for the alternator and engine.

At Magna IV Engineering, we handle synchronous motor control upgrades, generator sync remote control and other control upgrades.
