Why Westinghouse DB Breakers?

For decades, Westinghouse DB breakers have been embedded in industrial and commercial environments, known for their long-lasting reliability and performance. But as these breakers age, their components may deteriorate, making it difficult to maintain their best performance.

Upgrading or replacing these circuit breaker and switchgear renewal parts is a proactive way of improving the safety and dependability of your electrical system.

Maintaining and updating your low and medium switchgear parts is more than just a cost-cutting solution; it’s also a commitment to reliable operation, safety, and compliance with current regulations. By implementing a focused switchgear maintenance routine, you may extend the life of your equipment while reducing downtime.

Routine preventative maintenance on switchgear is the basis of a dependable electrical system. This includes frequent inspections, testing, and replacement of worn components. A well-executed switchgear maintenance and testing strategy guarantees that your equipment is ready to work when you need it the most.

 

Basic Switchgear Maintenance

  1. Visual Inspections: Regular checks for wear, corrosion, and damage.
  2. Cleaning and Lubrication: Ensuring components are free of dust and moving parts operate smoothly.
  3. Testing: Conducting electrical tests to verify the integrity and performance of the system.
  4. Parts Replacement: Using high-quality switchgear spare parts to replace aging or damaged components.

A proactive electrical switchgear preventive maintenance strategy minimizes the risk of expensive unplanned outages and extends the life of your equipment.
