Service scope

Electrical and controls expertise for generator reliability

A controls retrofit can extend the useful life of a mechanically sound generator by replacing unsupported electronics and improving diagnostics, communications and maintainability.

Our specialist scope: generator electrical systems, controls, protection, wiring, switchgear interfaces, communications and SCADA. Where a fault is mechanical, fuel-system or engine-internal, we can identify the control-system evidence and coordinate the electrical interface with the appropriate mechanical specialist.

What we can do

  • Existing control-system and IO survey
  • New controller and protection-system design
  • Panel modifications, wiring and labelling
  • PLC, HMI, SCADA and remote communications integration
  • Cutover planning, testing and commissioning

What you receive

  • Supported control hardware
  • Clearer alarms and operating information
  • Improved access to spares and backups
  • Updated drawings and settings records where included in scope

Useful information for your enquiry

  • Generator make, model and rating
  • Controller, AVR or protection make and model
  • Fault codes, alarm history or operating symptoms
  • Photos of the generator, control panel and switchboard
  • Site location, access constraints and operational priority

Is this service limited to emergency generators?

No. The electrical and controls scope can apply to standby, prime-power and parallel diesel generator installations, subject to equipment and site requirements.
