Switchgear Maintenance
Comprehensive Switchgear Solutions

In the world of power management, switchgear maintenance is frequently neglected. Many service providers focus solely on generators and critical assets, with the switchgear equipment completely overlooked. Unfortunately, this ‘out of sight, out of mind’ mentality leads to faults only being discovered during power outages, when it’s too late to prevent disruption. Canning Generator Solutions provides critical switchgear maintenance services so that every aspect of your power management system is protected.
What Is Switchgear?
Switchgear refers to a collection of electrical equipment that is used to control, protect, and isolate electrical circuits and devices. It includes components like circuit breakers, switch disconnectors, fuses, relays, and more. Regular maintenance of switchgear is essential for ensuring its safe and reliable operation.
Benefits of Switchgear Maintenance
At Canning Generator Solutions, we highly recommend that all electrical switchgear, distribution switchboards, and power distribution systems are serviced and maintained at regular intervals to avoid any unnecessary outages, and to circumvent any unseen compliance and technical issues. Here are some key benefits of regular maintenance:
- Safety
- Reliability
- Cost Savings
- Improved Performance
- Energy Efficient
- Risk Mitigation
- Extended Equipment Life
- Minimising Downtime

CASE STUDIES
Trusted by Leading Organisations
A leading educational institution in the UK faced several operational issues with its generator systems, necessitating a series of remedial actions. At one site, the maintenance team conducted a comprehensive coolant flush, replaced a cracked heater hose, and replenished the system with fresh coolant to improve functionality and extend the system’s life. These steps were crucial in preventing further damage and ensuring the system’s reliability.
At another site, the team focused on enhancing generator efficiency by replacing the air filter and conducting an off-load test, which confirmed the absence of additional faults. This maintenance ensured the generators operated at peak performance.
Additionally, the generator controllers were reprogrammed to automatically resume their default settings after maintenance, streamlining operations. The entire project, from initial site entry to final permit closure, was meticulously planned and executed within the allotted time frame, demonstrating the institution’s commitment to maintaining critical infrastructure efficiently.
