Switchgear Failures

Switchgear Failure – Rapid Response

Switchgear failures are thankfully very rare, but they do occur as there is an enormous globally installed base. Fortunately, our customer base instinctively knows where to turn in the event of a crisis - Switchgear Support Ltd has the ability to respond very rapidly to these rare events and assist our customers in the safe repair of their equipment.

Degradation of insulating materials, external influences (ie, surges), age, environment and a host of other factors are possible causes of failure.

Whatever the reason for failure, we have a reputation for being a “can do” organisation and have successfully assisted our customers on many occasions in the safe restoration of power.

Some typical situations are shown below:

Replacement of CT and VT assemblies on 11kV oil based switchgear

Total refurbishment including replacement vacuum contactor assembly

Replacement of 11kV bushings on 11kV air insulated fixed pattern switchgear

Replacement of contacts and associated equipment on 132kV isolator

Replacement of failed 11kV voltage transformer on offshore platform

Bringing over 40 years experience of working in the HV Switchgear industry, Switchgear Support Ltd offers a range of solutions enabling customers to deliver strategic projects on time, within budget.
