Utilities and generating plants run equipment for decades. Protective relays, switchgear, turbine and plant controls and station power systems are designed for long lives, which means the parts that eventually fail are often no longer in the manufacturer's catalog. Replacing a whole system to fix one relay or board is rarely practical. We stock and source the parts that keep that installed base in service, and every unit we stock is photographed so your engineers can check the label and revision before it ships.

What utility and power teams buy from us

Protection and switching

Protective and monitoring relays, molded case circuit breakers, breaker accessories, fuses, disconnect switches and switchgear and transfer switch components, from makers such as General Electric, GE Multilin, Westinghouse, ABB and Siemens. See our guide to breaker ratings and replacements.

Power and metering

Control and power transformers, current transformers, panel meters, battery chargers and UPS, batteries and power supplies for station service and control.

Plant controls

Turbine control boards, power and inverter boards, control cards, PLCs and I/O.

Instruments

Transmitters, vibration and machinery monitoring, recorders and analyzers and temperature sensors.

Boards and legacy controls

For circuit boards, the part number alone may not be enough: record the full number, revision letters and any dash numbers from the board, and photograph both sides. That lets us match the exact board, or tell you honestly when a different revision may not be interchangeable.

Safety first: work on protection, switchgear and plant controls is for qualified personnel only, under your utility's switching, lockout/tagout and arc-flash procedures.

Planned outages and spares

Planned outages are the time to replace aging relays, breakers and boards, but only if the parts are on hand before the outage starts. Send the list early and we'll quote what is in stock and what our network can deliver by your date. When equipment is retired or a plant is decommissioned, we also buy the surplus electrical and control parts it leaves behind.

Formal purchasing

We quote in writing and work with purchase orders; see buying for a business. For a list of parts, send it through partner sourcing for one written quote in under 24 hours on business days.
