The challenge
Keep things safe during safety upgrade
How do you keep your facility safe, while you’re servicing your safety equipment? This was the problem brought to us by one of the world’s largest petrochemical plants when they needed to upgrade their low voltage switchgear and Motor Control Centres (MCCs). The low voltage switchgear is there to make sure the plant teams can service machinery safely, while the MCCs help protect staff and equipment from risks like arc flash. With expensive downtime not an option, they needed a power system that would perform the same job on a temporary basis, keeping the plant safe and operational while the work was going on.
