Cost Savings Through Circuit Breaker Reconditioning Services

Replacing a circuit breaker can be expensive, especially for older or specialized systems where new units are costly or hard to find. Circuit breaker reconditioning extends the life of your existing equipment, reducing capital spending and minimizing downtime.

Plus, by proactively addressing potential failures due to wear and tear, you avoid unexpected repair costs and expenses related to operational disruptions. A proactive approach will keep your facility running while staying within budget.

Circuit breaker refurbishment or reconditioning is a cost-effective, sustainable alternative to full system upgrades. It reduces waste while maintaining the highest reliability, safety, and environmental responsibility standards.

Reconditioned vs Refurbished Circuit Breakers

The reconditioning process begins with a complete teardown for thorough inspection, cleaning, and evaluation. Worn or damaged parts are identified and replaced with high-quality OEM or manufacturer-recommended components. The breaker is reassembled, lubricated to OEM specifications, and tested mechanically and electrically to ensure proper function. This service is ideal for structurally sound breakers needing upgrades to meet modern safety and performance standards.

For a more comprehensive restoration, our circuit breaker refurbishment service includes all reconditioning steps plus additional new parts as required, often essential for nuclear applications. Any extra parts beyond the standard scope are quoted separately. Both services provide reliable, long-lasting performance and come with a one-year warranty on all new OEM parts.

The Circuit Breaker Reconditioning Process

Our reconditioning service is a comprehensive process designed to restore your circuit breakers to like-new performance and extend their operational life. This process is ideal for aging or worn-out breakers, ensuring they continue to meet safety and performance standards without the cost of a full replacement.

  • 1

    Disassembly. Every breaker is completely disassembled for thorough inspection. This allows us to assess the condition of internal components, identify wear or damage, and determine the necessary steps to restore it.

  • 2

    Inspection. Our experts perform a detailed inspection of all parts, including contacts, mechanisms, insulation, and trip units. Any components nearing the end of their lifespan or showing signs of failure are identified for replacement or remanufacturing.

  • 3

    Cleaning. All parts are carefully cleaned to remove dirt, grime, or any contaminants affecting performance. Cleaning ensures that all components function smoothly and reduces the risk of breakdowns caused by debris or corrosion.

  • 4

    Repainting or Zinc-Dichromate Plating. If needed, breakers are repainted or undergo zinc-dichromate plating to prevent corrosion and ensure the housing remains in good condition, preserving the breaker’s overall structural integrity.

  • 5

    Reassembly. Once the breaker is cleaned and inspected, it is reassembled with replacement parts, as necessary. OEM or manufacturer-recommended parts are used to maintain original design integrity. We lubricate moving parts per OEM specifications to ensure smooth operation.

  • 6

    Final Testing. After reassembly, we perform comprehensive mechanical and electrical testing. This verifies that the breaker functions as it should, ensuring safe and reliable performance before it is returned to service.

Every new OEM part that is replaced comes with a one-year warranty, ensuring reliable performance.

Key Benefits of Circuit Breaker Reconditioning Services

Reconditioning allows you to restore your breakers to their original performance levels at a fraction of the cost of a full replacement. It’s a budget-friendly option for extending the life of your existing equipment without compromising on quality or safety.
Circuit breaker reconditioning addresses wear or damage, restoring the breaker to optimal working conditions. This reduces the risk of failure, downtime, or safety hazards that could arise from using outdated or faulty breakers.

We use only OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) or manufacturer-recommended parts to ensure the remanufactured circuit breakers meet the same high standards as new equipment. If any parts are obsolete, we can have them remanufactured to meet OEM specifications.

By reconditioning breakers instead of replacing them, you’re helping reduce waste and minimize the ecological impact of manufacturing new equipment. It’s a sustainable solution that contributes to resource conservation.
Every newly replaced OEM part comes with a one-year warranty, ensuring the reliability and longevity of the reconditioned breaker.
