Protect Your Petrochemical Plant with Confidence

Built for Explosive Zones. Backed by 45+ Years of Motor Protection Expertise.

Petrochemical plants are complex, high-risk environments where safety, uptime, and compliance are non-negotiable. Whether you’re running a submersible pump beneath a chemical pit or managing ventilation motors in a distillation unit, one motor fault could lead to a production standstill or worse, a hazardous incident.

NewElecโ€™s smart motor protection relays are trusted by engineers across Africaโ€™s energy and petrochemical sectors. Why? Because theyโ€™re not just durable, theyโ€™re designed for harsh, explosive, high-stakes operations where failure is not an option.
