Sprecher and Schuh MV switchgear support

Sprecher and Schuh MV switchgear support

Sprecher and Schuh MV switchgear support

(OP)
Hi all,
I am looking for a spare Sprecher + Schuh (made in Austria) medium voltage breaker, circa mid-1980's.
I believe the breaker may be a minimum oil design, but I'm not sure.
We have an existing MV switchgear line up with 4 cells (one spare) and are looking to use the spare position. The existing breakers have a model number that appears to be either LTR/15/12/630 or HP404C or HP406E.

This is a 7.2 kV application.

Can anybody point me towards any technical support for S+S?

Thanks in advance, Elroy

RE: Sprecher and Schuh MV switchgear support

As I posted in the other forum (in case you didn't see it).

S+S was broken apart in 1993, part went to Rockwell but not the MV, the rest went to Alstom, who became GEC/Alstom, later Cegelec(?), then Alstom again, then parts spun off to Areva, then Alstom bought some of them back again 6 years later, now they all seem to be out of the MV switchgear business.

Ahh, you missed the key distinction between Alsthom and Alstom. wink

The transmission businesses of Areva went back to Alstom, while the MV businesses went to Schneider. God help you.
