Retro-fit Breaker Overloads
Retro-fit Breaker Overloads
(OP)
I have been tasked by the upppers to come up with retro-fit solid state breaker overloads. These will become the brand that we will always use in the future for replacement of overloads. We have approx. 200 breakers with pre-1980's overloads from many different manufacturers. We have had some bad experiences in the past with Satin America and they are not willing to go that route. I have found a company (AC PRO) as a suggestion from ZOG-ZOG on this forum. They seem to be a great company and they will provide a test set which can easily be understood and used by the technicians testing these overloads. Does anyone have any opinions on different companies?

The manufacturer, Utility Relay, was formed from the core of the Joslyn Opti-Trip company. Good quality, good people.

Other clients insist on installing a trip unit from the original breaker manufacturer to try to reduce the potential for finger-pointing.
The liability downside is pretty high for a trip unit failing to trip when needed.

The hardware is flexible and the company has been very responsive to calls.
