Everything we buy from General ElectricWhat we pay for and why
Value on low voltage switchgear comes down to the brand and series, the ratings on the nameplate, what is still installed inside, and condition. New surplus is worth the most. Failed units are worth their parts and metal.

What drives the number
Masterpact, Magnum DS, WL, and the GE and ABB air breakers drive most of the number. Each has its own page on this site.
Electronic trip units with metering and communications are worth more than basic LSI units. Photograph the trip unit face.
Current-production lineups resell as lineups. Discontinued series sell to sites keeping old gear running, which is a real market.
Clean bus, intact barriers, and doors with working latches keep a lineup sellable whole.
Reading the nameplate
The lineup nameplate is usually on the front of the main section. Each breaker has its own nameplate on the front escutcheon. One breaker plate per frame size plus the lineup plate is enough to price it.
Freight and rigging
Sections ship separately with the breakers removed and palletized. Sections commonly run 1,000 to 3,000 pounds each. We plan the rigging and the truck.

FAQ
Yes. Failed units are worth their parts, breakers, copper, and steel. Tell us what failed if you know.
Send the other photos and whatever you know. Illegible nameplates route to a slower queue, but the lead still gets a call.
We do. Liftgate truck, flatbed, or crane, depending on the size. Tell us if the unit is truck accessible.
Yes. Breakers sell individually. The lineup without breakers still has value as bus, enclosure, and parts.
Yes. Sites running older gear buy spares, so discontinued series still sell.
Selling the breakers separately? Each family has its own page.
Low Voltage Switchgear brands we buy most.
Plus every other name on a plate, including the ones that went out of business decades ago.
Selling more than one kind of gear? Put it on one offer. Mixed loads ship together and the freight math gets better for both of us.
