SWR retrofit
The SWR12 is an OEM designed retrofit circuit breaker for both the South Wales Switchgear C & D range Oil Circuit Breaker and the HG12 Gas Circuit Breaker, to IEC 62271-100. BRUSH Switchgear is proud of its heritage in the C and D range of switchgear, which continue to work at the highest standards. Technological advances have allowed us to improve further and offer our customers a circuit breaker that boasts the award-winning magnetic actuator along with removing the need for SF6 gas. The SWR12 circuit breaker, offers a new lease of life for existing switchgear, with this effective retrofit solution. Employing magnetic actuator technology with vacuum interrupters, the SWR12 is designed for 10,000 operations and a life expectancy of 30 years. It is designed for retrofitting into existing switchboards without the need for panel modification.
