Operational Integrity.

Based in the industrial heart of Detroit, MI, Vanguard Power Systems has been serving the Great Lakes region since 1998. We do not just run conduit; we engineer resilience into the backbone of automotive manufacturing plants.

Our niche specialization lies in high-voltage switchgear retrofitting for legacy facilities. A critical component of our workflow involves utilizing thermographic imaging during live-load testing to pre-emptively identify busbar degradation before catastrophic failure occurs.

Technical Capabilities

Deploying rigorous standards across complex industrial environments.

High-voltage switchgear installation

Switchgear Modernization

Comprehensive removal and replacement of obsolete medium and high-voltage switchgear. Our process includes custom bus fabrication, protective relay upgrades, and seamless integration with existing SCADA systems to minimize plant downtime during changeovers. We handle everything from the initial arc flash analysis to final commissioning.

Motor Control Centers (MCC)

Design, build, and installation of intelligent MCCs. We integrate variable frequency drives (VFDs) and PLC interfaces to optimize conveyor and assembly line power distribution.

Live-Load Diagnostics

Non-destructive testing utilizing FLIR thermography and ultrasonic acoustic emission detectors to locate corona discharge and loose terminations under full operational load.

Heavy gauge conduit routing

Heavy Infrastructure Routing

Rigid metal conduit (RMC) and cable tray installations engineered for harsh, high-vibration manufacturing environments. Adhering strictly to NEMA standards.
