Our integrated technical field service and electrical engineering teams work together to develop solutions tailored to your infrastructure. This approach allows us to develop safe, functional, reliable and maintainable systems and to offer turnkey services that minimize the time you wait for your switchgear modernization.

Our switchgear refurbishment services include everything from field measurements to manual deployment. We carefully measure your switchgear and discuss your needs before we handle engineering and procurement for you. Our project management ensures that site installation and deployment happen seamlessly. We keep you updated throughout the process and work with your teams on-site. We test your upgraded system before commissioning, work with you to plan maintenance and address any training needs after deployment.

Why Choose Switchgear Retrofit With Magna IV Engineering?

Switchgear refurbishment and retrofitting replace only some components, improving performance and safety without long downtime. In general, the process can cost less than replacement, while allowing you to enjoy switchgear components with modern features and more reliability. You enjoy modern remote monitoring capabilities, and modernization may help you meet regulatory requirements. Our team can explain the costs and benefits as well as make recommendations based on your needs.

Switchgear modernization can include retrofitting or replacing breakers or other worn-out or obsolete components without removing the entire enclosure. Digitization is also part of modernization, where switchgear components are replaced with newer, intelligent electronic devices (IEDs) for predictive maintenance, and detailed diagnostics and monitoring. Our team can help with all your digitization and modernization needs, and our comprehensive services can help you upgrade your entire system or additional parts beyond switchgear.

The Magna IV Engineering Approach Helps You Avoid Replacement Costs

Modernization is a good choice when replacing existing components becomes challenging because older products are no longer readily available. It may also be time to retrofit if your overall switchgear enclosure is in good shape, but older components are causing reliability issues or increasing maintenance costs.

At Magna IV Engineering, our engineering and technical teams have created systems that enable us to take precise switchgear measurements, allowing us to build new formed-to-fit busbars. Our innovative method often allows us to keep existing cabling, bus and switchgear line-ups in place, making retrofitting an attractive and affordable solution. We created our methods so we can retrofit modern breakers and complete low and medium-voltage equipment upgrades quickly. It’s what has allowed us to serve over 5,000 clients worldwide.
