 Retrofit
Untested devices and installations pose a safety risk

Is your installation still state-of-the-art?

Even the most modern electrotechnical systems are not immune to the
effects of time. Whether it is decreasing operational reliability, changing legal
conditions or rising energy costs: Adapting to the current state of the art is
indispensable. Typically, products for power quality monitoring and fault location
are retrofitted.

Risk assessment according to the German Ordinance on Industrial

Safety and Health (BetrSichV): Does your currently installed monitoring
system detect symmetrical and asymmetrical insulation faults?
Symmetrical and asymmetrical insulation faults represent a high risk potential.
With Bender insulation monitors, your systems are continuously monitored,
insulations faults are detected and reported. Bender insulation monitors comply
with IEC 61557-8.

Let us check your electrical installations and provide you with

suggestions for the next steps.

Bender provides flexible solutions for retrofitting projects

Modern monitoring methods can also be integrated in old systems - even
during ongoing operation. Retrofitting is made possible by devices such as
split-core current transformers, for the installation of which the power supplies
do not have to be switched off and cable systems do not have to be discon-
nected.

Successor devices from Bender can easily replace old devices.

Your benefits
n Well prepared for the standards of tomorrow
n Compliance with legal requirements
n Increased availability
n Update to the latest safety standard
n Cut costs and reduce energy consumption
n Ensure spare parts supply in the long term

Bender. So that your world is safer.

Our world is networked on a global scale; it is digital, mobile and highly automated – whether in
manufacturing industry, inside or outside buildings, in operating theatres and power stations, in trains,
underwater or underground: it never stands still and it is more dependent than ever on a reliable and,
above all, safe electrical power supply.

And exactly that is our mission: we make electricity safe. With our technologies, we ensure that electricity is
permanently available and guarantee faultless protection against the hazards of electric shock. We protect
buildings, plants and devices and therefore your investments and plans. But what we primarily protect are
the lives of the people who are involved with electricity.
