Bespoke Switchgear Modifications and Upgrades

Switchgear Support Ltd are essentially a solution provider – clients often table a problem and we will advise the most technically capable, but economically viable solution and implement it for them.

With nearly 30 years experience in finding solutions for a variety of legacy product requirements, we have the ability to tailor our skills to each and every customer requirement, including but not limited to:

Cable box upgrades (1-3c, 6-1c, 9-1c etc and top entry/bottom entry)
Cable box conversions (compound to dry/air type)
Busbar end boxes for compound or air insulated busbar systems, with top or bottom entry cables and any combination of cable connection (1-3c, 6-1c etc)
Busbar adaptor/joggle chambers – compound or air insulated busbar systems, 400A-2000A rating
Extension panels complete with dedicated vacuum circuit breakers – withdrawable, vertically isolated range of switchgear to extend virtually any UK manufacturers single or double busbar units (without need for busbar joggle chamber) – air insulated or compound insulated busbars
Skeleton panels – originally supplied equipment with minimal internal components (generally just busbars and busbar shutters) can be fully equipped to original design standards or certification to ensure original switchboard fully utilised
Refurbishment of switchgear – complete refurbishment of panel and breaker to customer specification or just circuit breaker refurbishment
Replacement of oil switches – involving replacement of oil switches with circuit breaker panels where oil switches were deemed appropriate at the onset, but modern network configuration requires circuit breaker design (straight swap – oil switch removed and new circuit breaker panel inserted)
Fitting of surge arresters – if certain types of circuit breaker (ie, vacuum) are used for direct on line motor starter applications, consideration should be given to fitting surge arresters (particularly where ageing motors are concerned)
Conversion of conventional ocb/Vacuum/SF6 panels for frequent switching duties from onerous circuit breaker operation to vacuum contractor operation
Earthing truck upgrades – where earthing trucks are no longer available, it may be possible to convert a circuit breaker into an earthing truck
