Retrofit Solution
The retrofit solution is an energy requalification work of electric production and distribution plants. Implementing new features and technologies, those devices that are proved to be obsolete in terms of the expected performance level can be changed both in terms of appearance and configuration in order to guarantee the optimal functioning of the plant.
Technical features
Renewal of medium (MV) and low voltage (LV) switchgears
Replacement of breakers with cutting-edge technological models
Reverse engineering of the product to be renewed
Assessment and redesign of the mechanical and electrical functionality of the product to be renewed
Updating or renewal of measurement, protection and control systems
Integration of automation systems, upon request
Empowerment of main electric circuits, upon request
Advantages
Tailor-made solutions
Improvement of functionalities and full restoring of the plant’s efficiency
Waste reduction aimed to minimize the environmental impact and pollution
Rapid return on investment
Extension of the plant’s lifespan
Warranty of continuity of service during restoring operations
Operation costs’ reduction
Good alternative to large investments for replacing or rebuilding the entire plant
Applications
Oil & gas
Railway sector
