GEMSTART 5-R - YOUR GEMSTART UPGRADE SOLUTION

COMECA understands the challenges faced by many operators in maintaining equipment beyond the intended design life. Thanks to its know-how of Original Manufacturer, COMECA has therefore developed a Retrofit solution called GemStart5-R, which consists of the replacement of all older versions of GemStart protection relays with modern and updated GemStart5.

COMECA also offers a repair service for all GemStart versions. Contact us for more information.

Description

Retrofitting is a practical, cost effective and least disruptive way to address both planned and unplanned outages, improving equipment operation and reliability for the short and long term.

GemStart 5 is the only product available for new Motor Control Centres and our GemStart5-R retrofit solution for older versions, giving the operator a common product for all legacy GemStart equipped Motor Control Centres.
