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