Power System Integration: Why the Components Are Only Half the Job

Most "switchgear problems" are actually integration problems. A guide to what system integration really involves in mission-critical power infrastructure, the standards that govern it, the protocols that make or break it, and how to evaluate an integrator before you sign anything.

Know What Your Facility Actually Spends on Power: A Field Guide to Monitoring, Submetering, and Cost Visibility

Most facility owners can read the monthly utility bill but cannot tell you what a single floor, process, or tenant actually spends. This guide breaks down what real facility monitoring looks like: signal quality, the cost categories the utility bill hides, submetering for allocation, and how platforms like ControlCom Connect turn raw data into operational decisions.

Switchgear Retrofit vs Replacement: A Decision Guide

Retrofitting and replacing switchgear are both valid engineering paths. This guide breaks down what each scope actually entails, the five-factor framework engineers use to choose between them, industry-specific considerations for healthcare, data centers, utilities, and water treatment, and the persistent myths that distort the conversation.

Switchboard vs Switchgear: What's the Difference?

Switchboards and switchgear can look similar in a lineup photo but answer to different standards, fault duties, and operational expectations. This guide compares them attribute by attribute, explains the engineering distinctions that decide which one a facility actually needs, and identifies the NEC articles that effectively mandate switchgear over switchboards.

Switchgear Lead Times in 2026: Why Retrofit Often Beats the Wait

New switchgear lead times in 2026 are running 12 to 18 months for low-voltage assemblies and 14 to 24 months for medium-voltage. This guide breaks down the lead-time picture by equipment type, the four structural drivers of the backlog, and why retrofit timelines (6 to 20 weeks) are different in kind, not just degree.
