Retrofitting of Low
Voltage Circuit Breakers

BET services all manufacturers’ breakers including ABB, Allis Chalmers, BBC, Cutler Hammer, Federal Pacific, General Electric (GE), ITE, Siemens, Square D, and Westinghouse.

Targeting facilities that have large power requirements and cannot easily shutdown for maintenance, Low Voltage Circuit Breakers can continuously and reliably handle heavy electrical loads for long periods of time. Therefore, these low voltage circuit breakers can be removed from an energized switchboard and be replaced or reinstalled without shutting off power.

Although older low voltage circuit breakers may be in good mechanical condition, the first generation overcurrent devices used on them may be obsolete, even unreliable, like oil dashpot devices. Older breakers can be repaired, reconditioned, remanufactured, or retrofitted.

BET can replace such out-dated components with state-of-the-art overcurrent devices that provide much more reliable and sophisticated protection.
