What drives the number
  • GMSG units from data center and plant upgrades carry strong numbers.
  • Maintenance records and mechanism condition move the number.
  • We do not publish prices. Metal, demand, and condition move them. You get a written number for your units.
From the yard

Data centers replace medium voltage gear on schedules, not failures, so GMSG breakers out of those sites are often lightly used with full maintenance records. Send the records; they move the number.
