Anybody know who took over the Westinghouse line of power capacitors, or who can supply direct replacements?

Thank You,

RE: Anybody know who took over the West

I don't know but I would try ABB.

RE: Anybody know who took over the West

If not ABB, try Siemens.

Suggestion: Visit
http://www.thomasregister.com
and type Capacitors: Power Factor Correction which will return 63 companies to start your search for the Westinghouse power capacitors direct replacement.

RE: Anybody know who took over the West

Go to this official CBS (all that is left of the former Westinghouse Electric Corporation) website for a listing (and fairly good search engine) of the names of the various companies that now have the rights to the discontinued (W) products and these companies own the engineering designs.

by the way, if anybody is curious as to what happen to Westinghouse, the whole story can be found at:
