Switchboard Retrofits & Modernization
Extend the life of your existing switchgear. We replace obsolete breakers, upgrade bus ratings, add metering, and modernize protection — without a full rip-and-replace.
Why Retrofit?
Replacing an entire switchboard lineup is expensive and disruptive. In many cases, the enclosure and bus structure are still in good condition — it is the breakers, metering, or protection that need to be updated. A retrofit lets you upgrade the components that matter while keeping your existing infrastructure in place.
Retrofits are especially valuable when original equipment manufacturers have discontinued your breaker model, when you need to increase fault ratings to meet new utility requirements, or when you want to add modern monitoring and metering to legacy equipment. As a UL 891 switchboard builder, we design every retrofit to meet current code requirements and safety standards.
What We Offer
- Breaker Replacements: Direct replacements or retrofit kits for obsolete molded-case, insulated-case, and power circuit breakers from all major OEMs
- Bus Upgrades: Increase ampacity or short-circuit current ratings on existing bus structures
- Metering Additions: Add digital power meters, revenue-grade CTs, and communication gateways to existing switchboards
- Protection Upgrades: Modern solid-state trip units, ground fault protection, arc flash reduction systems, and zone-selective interlocking
- Full Modernization: Complete internal rebuild of an existing switchboard lineup with new devices, bus, and wiring
Fast Delivery on Retrofit Projects
Retrofit projects often come with urgent timelines — a failed breaker, a utility mandate, or an expansion that cannot wait. We provide fast delivery switchboards and retrofit sections with engineered switchboard packages that include full documentation, NETA acceptance tested switchboard reports, and coordination with your existing installation.
