Retrofit Solution
Retrofitting focuses on reusing, refurbishing, recycling, and renewing electrical distribution equipment, rather than simply replacing it altogether. Electrical distribution retrofitting consists of replacing switchgear components to upgrade, renew, or provide more functionalities, such as connectivity.
It is often used on outdated active components like circuit breakers in primary distribution, contactors, and protection relays to prolong the switchgear’s lifespan.
Obsolete active components can be refurbished and repaired or recycled, and switchgear housing and accessories, such as plugs, lights, and extra LV cabinets, can be reused.
Retrofit solutions extend the life of equipment and keep it compliant with evolving standards and legislation, while reducing the environmental impact and cost compared to installing a new product. Modernizing equipment doesn’t have to mean a major capital expense. Retrofit operations can cost up to 50% less than new installations. They aren’t just economical, but are also quicker to install, which cuts production downtime and requires minimal civil work. Calculation tools create a life cycle assessment, which analyses the complete environmental impact of a product and financial cost. It will help in making the decision whether to replace equipment or modernize.
