Southwest Electric's Switchgear Service Centers offer complete testing, calibration, repair, reconditioning, remanufacturing and retrofitting services for all brands of switchgear. We work with power circuit breakers from 600 volt class through 34.5 kV. This includes low voltage metal frame breakers, low voltage switches, medium voltage switches, protective relays, and medium voltage air magnetic circuit breakers, vacuum circuit breakers and motor starter contactors.
Work can be performed at your plant site, substation, or in our modern shop facilities with workspaces dedicated solely to circuit breaker and protective relay services. Southwest Electric's switchgear technicians and specialists are skilled, trained, experienced craftsmen who take great pride in doing top quality and thorough jobs. We provide excellent documentation of the work performed. The average switchgear experience per person exceeds 18 years. Resident engineering support is available within Southwest Electric when needed to assure reliability and proper application of components and parts.
Procedures and methods utilized in rebuilding circuit breakers and contactors far exceed accepted industry standards and services typically offered by other switchgear service suppliers. High current testing is performed on all low voltage power circuit breakers to test tripping curve accuracy instead of the less rigorous secondary control circuit current injection method used by some other service suppliers.
