Retrofit and spare parts

Presentation of the offer
Introduction
Today, the productivity, operating safety, continuity of service and availability requirements of installations
are such that at all levels of a company, the quest for high performance is a major consideration .
The experience gained by Schneider Electric in carrying out more than 5000 medium-voltage retrofits on Belledonne,
Taillefer, Fluair and Vercors cubicles and more than 3000 low-voltage retrofits on T140, T12 and
Masterbloc switchboards has enabled the Center to acquire the expertise and know-how required
to help you secure the loyalty of your customers.
According to the equipment concerned, Schneider Electric offers different types of services, including:
p Supplying spare parts,
p Modifying cubicles,
p Replacing protective devices,
p Replacing original devices with latest-generation devices.
There are various ways of replacing old devices. The most usual methods are:
Retrofit: the original circuit breaker and its truck are replaced
p The connection interfaces (power and low voltage) are adapted for use on the original cubicle.
p The new circuit breaker is fitted with the new interfaces.
p The solution is tested mechanically with the mounting jig.
Retrofil: the original truck is retained and fitted with a new circuit breaker
p The original truck is renovated.
p The power interfaces are either retained and renovated or they are recreated.
p The new circuit breaker is adapted for mounting on the original truck.
p The solution is tested mechanically with the mounting jig.
Schneider Electric can also implement these solutions with devices manufactured by its competitors
(Alstom, Calor Emag, ABB, ASEA, BBC, UNELEC, AREVA).
Many retrofitted devices are in use worldwide.
Schneider Electric is actively working to improve delivery times and optimise the costs of retrofit/retrofil
solutions in order to provide you with constant support and help in ensuring customer satisfaction.
We pay particular attention to quality, which is our major consideration.
