  • Abstract
    Throughout the world there are many, many old, low voltage circuit breakers protecting essential industrial processes that have been operational for a significant time period ´beyond´ their functional design life. Obtaining spares for obsolete circuit breakers of this age can prove to be impossible and replacing the entire switchboard can have a serious impact on production downtime and budget constraints. Retrofitting a modern low voltage air circuit breaker has been proven to be a cost and time effective solution to this growing dilemma.
