Siemens SIVACON 8PT Drawer Replacement

Monitor Systems upgrades MCC Drawers due to hardware obsolescence of existing units

All Drawers in the Emergency Generator Switchboard MCC were replaced due to hardware obsolescence. The existing hardware contained within the aging drawers was providing maintenance and reliability issues for the client.

Upgrade

A site survey was carried out by a Monitor Systems engineer to determine the condition of the MCC and identify the obsolescence issues at hand. A detailed survey report was then compiled for the client.

Based on the findings a competitive quote to replace the drawers, complete with current proven Siemens hardware was offered. This solution being a far more cost effective option than replacing the entire MCC Cubicle.

All drawers were built, assembled, programmed using Siemens SIMOCODE and tested prior to being delivered to the client. A Monitor Commissioning Engineer then travelled to the rig to assist with the installation and commissioning.

Drawer Replacement

The new drawers were engineered as a direct 'drop in' replacement for the existing units maintaining the plug-in technology design so change out was very simple.
