Legacy Switchgear Solutions

We understand the importance of keeping legacy equipment operational. Many businesses rely on the continued performance and reliability of older switchgear and components, yet maintaining these systems and sourcing quality replacement parts can be increasingly difficult. That’s where we can help.

Our knowledgable team will make the process of sourcing, installing and testing parts on obsolete equipment simple.

Many of our engineers trained alongside industry leader Laurence Scott, giving us an unrivalled depth of knowledge of their products. While Laurence Scott equipment remains a core area of expertise, our team has extensive experience working with a wide range of legacy switchgear and electrical distribution equipment from manufacturers including ABB, Schneider Electric, GEC, Merlin Gerin, Dorman Smith and Hubbell etc. When it comes to renovating, maintaining and modernising ageing equipment, you can be confident that you’re working with a team that has the knowledge and practical experience to deliver the right solution.

Legacy retrofits

We understand that replacing ageing switchgear is not always the most practical or cost-effective solution. Legacy retrofit’s provide a way to extend the life of existing equipment, enhance performance, and improve reliability, all while minimising disruption and expenditure. Our expertise helps you modernise critical assets without the need for a complete replacement.

Some of our recent projects include

  • GEC MPact ACB to ABB Emax – ‘plug and play’
  • ABB Megamax ACB to Schneider MTZ – ‘hard bus retrofill’
  • Meidensha / TDK Vacuum contactor to Toshiba – engineered retrofit
  • Merlin Gerin ACB to Terasaki Tempower – ‘hard bus retrofill’
  • GE MST200 Isolator to Somomec Fuserbloc – engineered retrofit
  • Hubbell Isolator to Socomec Fuserbloc – engineered retrofit
  • GEC BVP Oil Circuit Breaker retrofits

Cubicle upgrades

Ageing components can often be upgraded without replacing the entire switchboard. By modernising specific cubicles we help improve system performance, increase operational reliability and address obsolescence issues. Our solutions deliver the benefits of modern technology while maximising the value of your existing assets.

We specialise in full and partial cubicle refurbishments, whether it is a change in duty from a general feeder to a DOL starter, the replacement of obsolete protection and control equipment, or the integration of modern monitoring and communication systems.

Keeping legacy equipment performing

If your equipment is beginning to show signs of wear, we may be able to renovate and repair it with retrofitted parts to prolong its life. Should this not be possible we can offer various solutions to your exact specifications. Our work includes; ABB Novomax ACB retrofit kits, GEC MPACT retrofit kits, Laurence Scott Slendaur Vacuum contactor replacement kits, Merlin Gerin Selpact retrofit kits, P&B Gold Mn5E/X protection relay retrofit kits, S&I MCC Starter retrofit kits, Terasaki ACB retrofit kits and Wallacetown protection relay retrofit kits to name a few.
