Electrical Modernization Services
Bringing Your Power System Into the Future
Electrical infrastructure doesn’t last forever. Outdated components can compromise safety, reduce efficiency, and increase the risk of unplanned outages. At Independent Testing Agency, we specialize in modernizing aging electrical systems with a focus on safety, reliability, and long-term performance.
Whether you’re upgrading 40-year-old switchgear, replacing legacy relays, or integrating smarter monitoring solutions, ITA provides a comprehensive modernization plan tailored to your facility’s needs.
Why Modernize?
Modernizing your electrical system is a proactive investment that offers major advantages:
- Improved system protection and fault coordination
- Enhanced monitoring and remote diagnostics
- Reduced maintenance requirements and downtime
- Improved energy efficiency and power quality
- Compliance with current safety and industry standards (NETA, NFPA 70B, IEEE)
Outdated systems are not only harder to maintain, they’re more prone to failure. Our modernization solutions minimize those risks while helping your operation run smarter and safer.

Load Study & Energy Usage Analysis
Optimize Capacity, Prevent Overloads, Plan for Growth
As part of your modernization strategy, ITA performs comprehensive load studies to evaluate how power is distributed and consumed throughout your facility. This critical analysis helps:
- Identify overloaded circuits or underutilized equipment
- Plan for future expansions or equipment upgrades
- Improve energy efficiency and reduce utility costs
- Ensure compliance with NEC and utility requirements
Using high-accuracy monitoring equipment, we collect and analyze real-time data over a defined period to produce clear, actionable reports. Load studies are often a required step in modernization and essential for optimizing the performance and safety of your electrical distribution system.
Advanced Relay Testing, Programming & Upgrades
Protective relays are a cornerstone of any modern power system. Our team has deep expertise in applying and configuring relays from leading manufacturers including SEL, GE Multilin, ABB, Basler, and Siemens. We offer:
- Relay settings and coordination studies
- Functional and logic testing
- Seamless integration with CTs, PTs, and trip circuits
- Control scheme redesign and programming
- On-site commissioning and acceptance testing
🛠️Whether you’re replacing a single relay or modernizing your entire protective scheme, we ensure everything is installed, tested, and documented to perform exactly as it should.
From Legacy to Leading-Edge: Seamless System Upgrades
Our process is designed for minimal disruption and maximum reliability. We handle every step:
- Safe removal of obsolete gear and wiring
