Sell this equipment
Send the information you have, whether the gear is new surplus, removed-working, untested or retired. Describe the breakers, controls and accessories included in the sale.
Both photographs are illustrative—not our inventory, our facility or evidence of a completed purchase. Your equipment photos let us review the actual condition and configuration.
Sell Your SwitchgearWe buy eligible used and surplus electrical switchgear. If your business has an unused lineup, a canceled-project order, removed equipment or spare sections taking up warehouse space, start with a purchase review. Complete gear can have equipment or component value beyond its metal weight. A buying decision still depends on identification, condition, demand and the cost of moving the equipment. A high amp rating alone does not establish a price.
You can submit a single section or describe an entire facility lot. Tell us whether breakers, relays, meters, keys and accessories are included, and whether the lineup is complete. Send the manufacturer, model and photos you already have. You do not need to decide the final resale or recovery route before contacting us. Keep reusable components together until the sale scope is agreed.
Low-voltage power circuit breaker switchgear, medium-voltage metal-clad switchgear and metal-enclosed load-interrupter gear are distinct categories. Indoor versus outdoor describes the installation or enclosure, not the entire electrical design. Drawout versus fixed breakers, air versus gas insulation, and arc-resistant construction are additional identifying features. Record those features when they appear on existing drawings or nameplates; do not infer them from cabinet color.
Switchboards are often called switchgear in everyday conversation, but the labels are not interchangeable. In US applications, UL 1558 covers metal-enclosed low-voltage power circuit breaker switchgear, while UL 891 covers switchboards. Typical switchgear power breakers and switchboard molded-case breakers also follow different standards. If you are unsure, send the actual label instead of guessing. Describe switchboards and loose breakers separately in a mixed equipment lot.
Common nominal systems listed in Siemens WL documentation are 208 V, 240 V, 480 V and 600 V. The same documentation distinguishes maximum design voltage, including 635 V for non-fused breakers, from nominal operating voltage. An equipment label showing 635 V therefore does not mean the facility operates a 635 V nominal system. Provide the printed rating and the operating voltage if it is known.
Siemens WL publishes bus options of 1,600, 2,000, 3,200, 4,000, 5,000 and 6,000 A. Its breaker-frame examples extend from 800 to 6,000 A. Other designs differ: Eaton Magnum DS documentation includes larger cross-bus options. These are manufacturer examples, not a statement that every combination exists or that every unit qualifies for purchase. An 800 A feeder breaker does not tell us the continuous-current rating of the complete lineup.
Medium-voltage metal-clad equipment commonly identifies its family by a 5, 15, 27 or 38 kV class. ABB Advance lists all four classes. A class designation is not necessarily the exact voltage at which the equipment operated; Eaton VacClad-W documentation, for example, uses a rated maximum voltage of 4.76 kV for its 5 kV-class family. Send the assembly rating and any known system information as separate facts.
For 5–15 kV VacClad-W equipment, Eaton lists headline continuous-current ratings of 1,200, 2,000, 3,000 and 4,000 A. Cooling and product design matter at the higher ratings. A fan-cooled application is not the same as an otherwise similar uncooled lineup. Higher-voltage products have their own available ratings. Include breaker type, bus rating, protective-relay models, control voltage and drawings if available. Do not assume two 15 kV sections from different manufacturers will connect or interchange.
Metal-enclosed load-interrupter switchgear typically combines a switching device with power fuses. Schneider Electric identifies its HVL family as air-insulated load-interrupter equipment and lists products up to 1,200 A at 38 kV. A load switch and a vacuum circuit breaker are not the same device: the fuse arrangement and fault protection must be identified separately from the switch continuous-current rating.
S&C PMH pad-mounted examples use a 600 A main bus and 600 A Mini-Rupter switches at 14.4 or 25 kV, with different ratings for individual fuse circuits. That does not make them equivalent to a 3,000 A metal-clad lineup. Other pad-mounted equipment may use sealed gas insulation or different interrupters. Tell us the specific series, insulation medium if known, switch and fuse arrangements, enclosure condition and whether the equipment includes all original compartments.
The assembly bus rating describes continuous current. A breaker frame identifies its maximum frame capability, while a rating plug and trip unit can determine rated current and protective settings within that capability. A seller may therefore have a 3,200 A bus with smaller feeder breakers and different settings. List the bus, main breaker and important feeder ratings separately whenever those records are available.
A short-circuit or interrupting rating stated in kA is another specification. It is not normal load current, and the associated voltage and test basis matter. Short-time withstand also includes a duration. Do not multiply a fault rating into an equipment size or use it as a price shortcut. Send a clear photograph of the full ratings label rather than a cropped image showing only the largest number. Unknown details can be clarified after the initial review.
Brand, model, age, physical condition, completeness and demand affect the commercial review. Identify equipment marked Square D or Schneider Electric, Eaton or Cutler-Hammer, Siemens, GE, ABB or Westinghouse by its actual series and catalog information. A legacy brand name alone does not establish compatibility, and naming a manufacturer here does not imply an authorized dealership or service relationship.
Disclose missing breakers, water exposure, fire damage, corrosion, alterations and known operating faults. Existing test reports, one-line drawings and a section schedule help distinguish a complete working removal from an untested parts lot. Describe new surplus, installed-but-unused, removed-working and damaged equipment honestly. Freight, section dimensions, approximate weights, loading access and the number of shipping splits influence the net transaction. There is no universal dollar-per-amp price.
Start with your name, phone number, pickup ZIP and a short description. Optional photos should show the complete lineup, a readable existing nameplate and visible equipment condition. Include voltage, bus amps, breaker models, quantity and whether the gear is still installed if you know them. For a large project, describe the number of sections in the message; a default form quantity is not a confirmed section count.
Use existing photographs and records. Do not open energized compartments, remove covers, rack breakers or operate the equipment to obtain sale information. Qualified personnel must handle electrical isolation and any removal work. Contacting us before disconnection is possible, but it is not a promise that we perform electrical work. Confirm what is included, inspection conditions, payment, loading, freight and pickup responsibilities in the accepted transaction. Nationwide inquiries are welcome; collection depends on equipment and location.
Tell us what you have and where it is. Voltage and amp ratings are helpful, but you can start with existing photos if you are unsure.
No extra technical questionnaire. Add up to three photos, or send your description first. Purchase, payment and collection terms are confirmed for accepted equipment.
Call (951) 903-9804Practical answers about type, voltage, amps, value and installed equipment.
We buy eligible used and surplus switchgear and review retired or incomplete equipment for possible component or recovery value. Send the actual type, manufacturer, voltage, bus amps, condition and pickup ZIP. Acceptance and purchase terms depend on the equipment.
Yes, submit your 480 V or 600 V equipment for review. Include the complete assembly nameplate, bus rating and main breaker details. A 635 V maximum equipment rating is different from the nominal system voltage; report the actual printed values.
Send the equipment class and nameplate for medium-voltage purchase review. Metal-clad vacuum-breaker gear, load-interrupter gear and pad-mounted distribution equipment must be identified separately. Current ratings and cooling arrangements depend on the specific product.
Send the assembly continuous bus amps first, then main and feeder breaker ratings if known. Record frame or trip information separately. Fault ratings in kA are not continuous amps. If you do not know which value is which, send the full label and write unknown.
Submit either and describe the section count, included breakers, controls and accessories. Identify a complete lineup versus isolated sections, and note missing parts. Purchase and shipping scope must be confirmed for the actual lot.
Yes. Tell us its status and use existing photos or records. Do not access energized compartments for a sale inquiry. Electrical disconnection and removal responsibilities must be agreed separately and handled by qualified personnel.
There is no universal price by voltage, amps or metal weight. Model, condition, completeness, demand and logistics affect an offer. Send photos and the nameplate to discuss purchase options before dismantling potentially reusable equipment.
