Switchgear Retrofit
The EMP Engineering team can analyze your existing electrical system and design, fabricate and install a switchgear retrofit to mitigate the harmful effects of HEMP.
- Circuit breaker overhauls
– The circuit breaker is disassembled, cleaned, and inspected
– Parts are recoated and repainted as necessary
– Worn parts are replaced, and the breaker is tested to verify proper mechanical operation and calibrated per supplied coordination study setting
- Protective Relay Systems
– Electro-mechanical relays become less reliable with age
– These can be replaced with modern electronic relays to provide more reliability, extended functionality, remote monitoring and control
- SCADA
– Modern switchgear is available with System Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems
– With updates to the circuit breakers, relaying, and metering in the switchgear, we can add this capability to existing switchgear
– We can update switchgear to today’s standards of functionality and reliability without the downtime required for replacement while saving considerable money compared to replacement
- System Modifications
– It is often necessary to modify an existing system after it has been approved and partially or completely constructed
– EMP Engineering can perform small or large before, during and after construction modifications and generate the revised drawings as well
