Direct Replacement or Retrofill Solution

Confidential Property of Schneider Electric |

When considering whether to replace or upgrade existing equipment, there are a number of factors to consider.


• Operating environment

• Availability of spare parts

• Impact of downtime

• Cost of ongoing maintenance

• Need to increase fault or continuous current rating

• Desire to upgrade to current technologyOur direct replacement and retrofill solutions modernize any manufacturer’s existing switchgear to current technology.




Direct Replacement or Retrofill Solution


Our direct replacement and retrofill switchgear modernization solutions will expand the capabilities of your electrical system with minimal downtime.


Before and after photos of MV retrofill upgrade

RetrofillThe existing switchgear cell and bus are modified to accept the new circuit breaker. This option requires a longer bus outage (compared to the direct replacement option), during which time the internal circuit breaker cell is modified to accept the new circuit breaker.

A Masterpact cradle-in-cradle design is utilized for LV direct replacement solutions

Direct ReplacementCircuit breakers are designed to fit into the existing cubicle with little-to-no modification to the switchgear cell. Reduces downtime since there is minimal (if any) outage on the equipment bus.




Switchgear Modernization: LV


Direct Replacement (Low Voltage)


• A MasterpactTM cradle is installed into an adapter cradle, which is then installed into the switchgear cubicle.

• This cradle-in-cradle assembly locks into place and remains in the switchgear cell after installation.

• The new Masterpact circuit breaker racks in and out of the adapter cradle.

• A new door is installed, however cell interlocks, the racking mechanism and the switchgear structure are not modified.

Masterpact circuit breakers are installed, tested and commissioned by qualified field service personnel and are backed by a one-year warranty.

Extended warranties are available.




Switchgear Modernization: LV


Retrofill (Low Voltage)


• New racking mechanism and primary and secondary connections.

• Custom-engineered connection between the switchgear line and load side.

• New cubicle doors to match the existing equipment and new circuit breaker face.

The existing switchgear cell and bus are modified to accept the new circuit breaker.

Features a Masterpact cradle and circuit breaker and includes:

Did You Know? New switchgear is usually smaller than the equipment it is designed to replace. The existing conduit may need to be moved and cabling replaced or spliced. Both are expensive and time consuming tasks, often costing more in labor and material than the cost of the new equipment .




Switchgear Modernization: MV


Direct Replacement (Medium Voltage)


• Built with new components and tested to ANSI standards, Magnum circuit breakers interface with the existing circuit breaker compartment components and maintain safety interlocks present in the original equipment design.

• Magnum circuit breakers are installed, tested and commissioned by qualified field service personnel and are backed by a one-year warranty. Extended warranties are available.

Magnum designs are available for any brand of medium voltage switchgear.

Our Magnum™ direct replacement circuit breaker is designed to fit directly into the existing OEM switchgear. An adapter cradle is not utilized.

Switchgear Modernization: MV


Retrofill (Medium Voltage)


• All-new racking mechanism

• Primary and secondary disconnections

• Customized connections

• New doors to match the existing equipment and circuit breaker face

Switchgear Line-up after Retrofill

Upgrades switchgear by installing a new medium voltage circuit breaker and cell into an existing line-up. Necessary modifications are made to the existing cell and include:

A retrofill solution is often used in lieu of the direct replacement option for larger devices, such as main breakers and tie breakers.

Designs are available for any manufacturer’s switchgear and include:

• Air-magnetic to vacuum or SF6

• Air-blast to vacuum or SF6

• OCB switchgear to vacuum or SF6 switchgear

• Convert stationary circuit breaker to draw-out, or obsolete air circuit breaker to vacuum or SF6




Motor Control Center Upgrades

Confidential Property of Schneider Electric |Confidential Property of Schneider Electric |

• New direct replacement motor control center units are available for many common vintage and current style motor control centers.

- Upgrade to an intelligent motor control center to increase productivity and save energy.

• If a direct replacement unit is not available, we can retrofit a genuine

OEM bucket with all new Square D™ components. - The genuine OEM stab assembly is reconditioned to like-new condition

and the bucket is painted white enamel.

Direct Replacement and Retrofit Upgrades for Low Voltage Motor Control Centers

Both motor control center upgrade options are designed to improve reliability, reduce maintenance and increase equipment capabilities.

The TeSys motor management system reduces costs as well as the complexity of your equipment.
