The availability of proper spare parts in the event of unexpected high-voltage switchgear failure is crucial. Siemens Energy, as an OEM, has supplied global markets with diverse assets, resulting in a wide range of spare parts. However, due to the multitude of designs and variants, stock availability is limited, leading to extended lead times of eight to 18 months, often impractical for critical assets.
Scope of our services
