Voltage class times ten, then VCP-W, then the MVA interrupting class.
- Complete, tested breakers with the racking mechanism and secondary disconnects intact carry the most.
- A matched set out of one lineup sells better together than one at a time.
- Recent test sheets (insulation, contact resistance, timing) move the number up.
- We do not publish prices. Metal, demand, and condition move them. You get a written number for your units.
The control voltage on the nameplate, for example 125VDC close and trip, decides which switchgear a breaker can go into without rework. Buyers ask for it first, so get it in the nameplate photo.
Three photos price a medium voltage breaker.
The nameplate
Type, kV, continuous amps, interrupting rating, and control voltage. Straight on and readable.
The front and mechanism
The breaker front, the operation counter, and the charging motor or handle.
In the lineup
The breaker in its cubicle or on the floor, plus the switchgear nameplate if the gear is coming out too.
- 01Send the nameplates
Type, kV, continuous amps, interrupting rating, control voltage. Plus a photo of the lineup if the gear is coming out.
- 02We read them and reply
During business hours, by text, call, or email.
- 03You get a written offer
Per breaker or for the lineup, with the removal plan included. Subject to inspection.
- 04We rack out, rig, and haul
Our crew and equipment, after your people de-energize and lock out. Wire or ACH within 3 business days of a passed inspection.
Selling Eaton and Westinghouse VCP-W vacuum breakers: what people ask.
Yes, and we can rack them out and haul the lineup. Send the nameplates and a photo of the gear.
No. Untested breakers sell; tested ones sell for more. If you have recent test sheets, send them.
Yes. Breakers usually sell better with the lineup they came from, and we can take the whole thing out.
We do. Medium voltage breakers are heavy and the mechanisms are not forgiving; our crew brings the lift truck and rigging. You de-energize and lock out.
