Factory approved refurbishment - partial or complete reconditioning - of nuclear and commercial circuit breakers
Refurbishments are for circuit breakers with readily available parts. ABB’s factory trained technicians provide refurbishment services for both nuclear and non-nuclear low and medium voltage circuit breakers. ABB refurbishes circuit breakers to a “like new operating condition” and provides a full one year warranty that covers parts and labor.
Other manufacturers’ circuit breakers
ABB has expertise to refurbish other manufacturers’ circuit breakers to “like new operating conditions.” The refurbishment process is the same as with ABB circuit breakers. Base prices quoted cover typical refurbishment components and labor from qualified technicians. Other parts and repairs are performed based on additional quotations and customer approval.
