WHEN SPEED AND PRECISION IS EVERYTHING

Secondary Protection Systems

Our flag-ship products are our Secondary Protection, Monitoring, and Control panels for medium and high voltage assets including:

  • Transmission and distribution feeders;
  • Transmission and distribution transformers;
  • Busbars;
  • Circuit breakers; and
  • Capacitor banks

We also build medium and high voltage metering panels.


These systems are typified by high complexity, specialised relays, and exacting standards. We have a strong practical knowledge of the relays and components that make up these systems and are experienced in Utility companies’ unique design specifications.

We cater for specific needs in

  • naming conventions
  • protection flagging & monitoring via SCADA
  • interlock schemes
  • redundancy requirements, and
  • maintainability

We offer customer-specified OEM enclosures or Mayfield-built custom enclosures
We readily incorporate client’s free-issue equipment.
