Panel Modification & Retrofit

POWER GRID provides panel modification and retrofit services for existing LV switchgear, distribution and control panels. Our solutions are designed to accommodate changing electrical requirements while making practical use of existing panel infrastructure where appropriate.

Our modification scope can include adding outgoing ways, replacing obsolete electrical devices, increasing panel capacity and integrating additional metering or BMS communication requirements.

We also provide surge protection additions and enclosure refurbishment as part of panel upgrade and retrofit requirements. Each modification is reviewed according to the existing panel condition, available space and project requirements before work is carried out.

Our Panel Modification & Retrofit Services Include

  • Outgoing-Way Additions – Adding new outgoing ways to accommodate additional electrical circuits and loads.
  • Obsolete Device Replacement – Replacing outdated or obsolete electrical devices with suitable alternatives.
  • Capacity Upgrades – Modifying existing panels to accommodate revised electrical system requirements where technically suitable.
  • Metering Upgrades – Adding or upgrading metering equipment for improved electrical system monitoring.
  • BMS Communications – Adding applicable communication interfaces for integration with Building Management Systems.
  • Surge Protection – Adding surge protection devices according to project and panel requirements.
  • Enclosure Refurbishment – Improving existing panel enclosures and associated components where refurbishment is required.

Upgrade Existing Electrical Panels

Electrical requirements can change as buildings, facilities and equipment are expanded or upgraded. In many cases, an existing panel may require modification rather than complete replacement.

POWER GRID reviews the existing panel configuration and required changes to determine an appropriate modification or retrofit solution. Our focus is on delivering practical upgrades that meet the agreed technical and operational requirements.

What types of panel modifications do you provide?

We provide outgoing-way additions, obsolete device replacement, capacity upgrades, metering additions, BMS communications, surge protection and enclosure refurbishment.

Can you add new outgoing ways to an existing panel?

Yes, outgoing ways can be added where the existing panel configuration, available space and technical conditions allow the required modification.

Can obsolete electrical devices be replaced?

Yes. We can review obsolete devices and provide suitable replacement options according to the panel and project requirements.

Can you add metering or BMS communication?

Yes. Metering and applicable BMS communication functionality can be incorporated into existing panels as part of a planned modification or retrofit.

Do you provide enclosure refurbishment?

Yes. Enclosure refurbishment can be included within the retrofit scope depending on the condition of the existing panel and the required work.
