SecuControl product offering
Product offeringCore offering
SecuControl designs and manufactures test interface products for electric power substations, including test blocks, test switches, plugless and plug-based interfaces, and special-application solutions used by utilities and protection engineers to safely test, calibrate, and replace protection relays and Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs). Its flagship offerings are the Plugless Solutions, Plug Solutions, Special Applications, the DRS (Din-Rail Test Switch), and the Low Power Test Interface System, supported by an online Configurator tool for project-specific customization.
Product overview
SecuControl is a manufacturer of test interfaces for power systems, operating since 1995. The company offers a portfolio of three main product categories: Plugless Solutions (no-plug test interfaces for fail-safe IED testing), Plug Solutions (plug-based test interfaces), and Special Applications (custom solutions). Recent additions include the DRS (Din-Rail Test Switch) and Low Power Test Interface System. The company also provides an online Configurator tool for customizing circuits, labels, and mounting options. SecuControl's products focus on improving substation panel design, streamlining configurations, and minimizing time needed for fail-safe IED testing, calibration, and replacement. Their subsidiary Secuengineering in Brazil offers additional products including Monitoring IED (PMU + DFR), Protection Relays, and 36kV Vacuum Circuit Breakers.

SecuControl competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- ABB (Electrification / Grid Automation): ABB offers a full suite of substation equipment including protection relays, switchgear, and test interfaces used by utilities globally. It competes with SecuControl in test switches and protection test equipment as part of a much broader power-systems portfolio.
- Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories (SEL): SEL is a major manufacturer of protection relays, automation controllers, and supporting test accessories for substations. While their core products are the protection devices themselves, SEL also supplies test blocks/switches that overlap with SecuControl's catalog and serve the same utility procurement decisions.
- Siemens (Smart Infrastructure): Siemens provides substation protection, automation, and SIPROEC test interfaces for power system protection testing. Comparable as a broad-line incumbent offering overlapping test-interface products as part of a complete substation protection portfolio.
- Schneider Electric (Energy Management): Schneider Electric provides substation protection, automation, and electrical distribution equipment to utilities worldwide. Comparable to SecuControl in the substation protection testing space as part of a comprehensive energy management portfolio.
- GE Vernova Grid Solutions: GE Vernova supplies protection and control systems for transmission and distribution substations, including test accessories. Competes with SecuControl for utility budgets allocated to protection testing equipment as part of broader grid solutions offerings.
Direct peers
- Megger: Megger manufactures electrical test and measurement instruments used by utilities for power system diagnostics, relay testing, and substation equipment verification. Directly comparable to SecuControl in the electrical test instruments category for utility and industrial power customers.
- OMICRON electronics: OMICRON is a leading global manufacturer of primary and secondary test equipment for protection relays, IEDs, and power systems. It competes most directly with SecuControl in the protection-testing interface category and shares the same utility customer base across grid commissioning and IED maintenance use cases.
- Doble (Doble Engineering / Doble Power Test): Doble provides diagnostic test equipment and condition monitoring solutions specifically for the electric power industry, including protection relay and substation testing. It addresses the same utility engineers and offers overlapping functionality for IED testing and calibration that SecuControl sells via its test interfaces.
Emerging players
- Beckwith Electric: Beckwith Electric specializes in protection, control, and monitoring solutions for power systems, including adaptive protection for inverter-based resources. Overlaps with SecuControl in serving protection engineers and utility customers with focused substation solutions.
- Mors Smitt (Wabtec): Mors Smitt manufactures relays, signal devices, and electrical components used in rail and industrial power systems. Tangentially comparable as a niche electrical-component supplier serving adjacent industrial customers with overlapping protection-adjacent technology needs.
