Electrical equipment upgrade
Safety electrical cabinets and control panels: upgrade, verification and scheme update
Electrical reliability
affects safety
The upgrade of electrical equipment is an essential activity to ensure that the electrical cabinets and safety control panels of machines are consistent with the applicable safety requirements and with the actual state of the plant. Through design, construction and panel upgrade interventions, the execution of electrical safety checks and the survey of updated schemes, we ensure regulatory compliance, operational reliability and full technical traceability over time.
When is it needed
The service is indicated when:
- It is necessary to build or upgrade electrical cabinets and safety control panels following modifications, revamping or safety interventions;
- Compliance of machine electrical equipment with applicable regulatory requirements needs to be verified;
- Verification of equipotential circuits and stopping times of safety devices is required;
- The existing electrical documentation is incomplete, outdated or not aligned with the actual state of the plant;
- It is necessary to restore order and traceability in support of maintenance, technical audits or future upgrade interventions.
How the assessment is carried out
The activity is structured as distinct technical services, activatable individually or as part of an integrated intervention.
- Construction and upgrade of safety electrical panels: design, construction and upgrade of electrical panels and safety control systems based on Safety PLC architectures and certified logic, complete with installation, testing and commissioning. Revamping interventions and hardware and software updates are included.
- Verification of equipotential circuits and stopping times: execution of the electrical checks provided for by standards IEC/EN 60204-1 and IEC/EN 61439-1/-2 using certified instrumentation, with validation of protective circuit continuity, dielectric strength and protection against indirect contact, and preparation of the functional test report.
- Survey and preparation of electrical diagrams: field survey and design of functional, circuit and interconnection electrical diagrams, compliant with standards IEC/EN 60204-1, IEC/EN 61439-1/-2 and EN ISO 13849-1/-2 guidelines, in support of maintenance, audits and future interventions.
What we deliver
- Safety electrical panels and control systems upgraded, installed and tested;
- Electrical checks carried out and validated in accordance with applicable standards;
- Functional test report with test results and indication of any non-conformities;
- Updated electrical diagrams and complete documentation for maintenance, audits and future interventions.
