Benefits of Switchgear Installation Service

• New circuit breakers are installed in existing switchgear
• Original footprint is left intact, saving time and money
• Upgrades can be performed on an incremental basis
• Downtime is minimized when compared with the demolition and replacement of existing equipment
• New circuit breakers undergo complete factory testing and are backed by our standard equipment warranty
• New, easy-to-maintain operating mechanism
• Reduced need for difficult to obtain spare parts

We offer two installation options that both provide improved power system reliability and lower life-cycle costs; Direct Replacement or Retrofill. One factor to remember is conduit placement. Installing new switchgear (which is usually smaller than the older/obsolete equipment it is designed to replace) requires that existing conduits above and below the equipment be moved. This time consuming and expensive process is eliminated with either our direct replacement or retrofill solution.

 Switchgear Installation Upgrades: Direct Replacement

Circuit breakers are designed to fit into the existing cubicle with little-to-no modification to the switchgear cell. Direct replacement solutions reduce downtime since there is minimal (if any) outage on the equipment bus. Designs are available for any manufacturer’s switchgear. The service is available for low and medium voltage.

• Low voltage — A standard Masterpact cradle is installed into an adapter cradle to form one assembly, which is then installed into the switchgear cubicle. (This cradle-in-cradle assembly locks into place and will remain in the switchgear cell after the initial installation). The new Masterpact circuit breaker racks in and out of the adapter cradle. A new door is installed, however cell interlocks, the racking mechanism and the switchgear structure are not modified.
• Medium voltage — The Magnum direct replacement circuit breaker will rack into the switchgear line-up and correctly interface with the existing compartment cell. The original racking mechanism, safety interlocks and the primary/secondary disconnects inherent in the original equipment design are maintained and the switchgear structure is not modified.

24, 48, and 125 Vdc battery backup

Safe and reliable power distribution demands battery backed up power for the switchgear controls, breakers, and relays. SEI DC UPS systems address parameters unique to power engineering installations such as temperature, outdoor enclosures, and high surge current, as well as other common power issues for SCADA, PLC and industrial/process control applications. Models include wall/panel mount, rack mount, and outdoor/NEMA enclosures as well as custom engineered solutions.

Keep your equipment running safer, better, and longer

Our installation solutions, available for any manufacturer’s low and medium voltage switchgear, will expand the capabilities of your electrical system with minimal downtime.

Reduce downtime and costs

Expand the capabilities of your electrical system with minimal downtime and at a fraction of the cost of purchasing and installing new switchgear. Direct replacement and/or retrofill solutions are available for any manufacturer’s equipment.

Improve reliability of your critical equipment

Our installation solutions utilize the upgraded technology of the Masterpact™ insulated case circuit breaker for low-voltage systems or the Magnum™ circuit breaker for medium-voltage systems. Both the Masterpact and the Magnum circuit breakers are installed, tested and commissioned by qualified field service personnel and are backed by a one-year warranty. Extended warranties are available.

Upgrading your aging switchgear is easier than you think

For existing switchgear line-ups, we offer custom-engineered direct replacement circuit breakers which are designed to fit into the existing switchgear cell with minimal modification and down-time. Our retrofill solutions involve modifying the internal circuit breaker cell to accept the new circuit breaker. A bus outage is required for the modifications.

Switchgear installation Service: Retrofill

The existing switchgear cell and bus are modified to accept the new circuit breaker. This option requires a longer bus outage (compared to the direct replacement option), during which time the internal circuit breaker cell is modified to accept the new circuit breaker. A retrofill solution is often used in lieu of the direct replacement option for larger devices, such as main circuit breakers and tie circuit breakers.

• Low voltage — Features a Masterpact cradle and circuit breaker, along with a new racking mechanism and primary and secondary connections in each switchgear cell. Existing cells are modified to accept the new cradle and circuit breaker, including a custom-engineered connection between the cradle and the switchgear line and load side bus. Custom designs are available for any manufacturer’s low voltage switchgear.
• Medium voltage — This solution upgrades switchgear by installing a new medium voltage circuit breaker and cell into an existing line-up. Necessary modifications – including an all-new racking mechanism, primary and secondary disconnects and customized connections – are made to the existing cell. Available designs include:
  • Air-magnetic to vacuum or SF6
  • Air-blast to vacuum or SF6
  • OCB switchgear to vacuum or SF6 switchgear
  • Convert stationary circuit breaker to draw-out, or obsolete air circuit breaker to vacuum or SF6
