- Power Break II or WavePro mains bring more than molded case mains.
- Spectra plug-in distribution panels full of breakers add value.
- Larger mains (2000 A and up) and copper bus bring more.
- Outdoor 3R units with corrosion lower value.
- We do not publish prices. Metal, demand, and condition move them. You get a written number for your unit.
Spectra plug-in switchboards let branch fusible units be swapped for circuit breaker units in the field, which keeps spare Spectra breakers in demand. AV-Line boards seen on the surplus market include units with Power Break mains and distribution breakers. ABB acquired GE Industrial Solutions in June 2018, so later boards and parts carry ABB labels.

The nameplate
Straight on and readable. Voltage, ratings, model, and serial in frame.
Inside
Doors open: bus, devices, controls, and anything burned or missing.
The whole unit
A wide shot plus what is around it, so we can plan the pick.
The switchboard nameplate is usually on the front of the main section, sometimes inside the door. Shoot it with the voltage, ampacity, short-circuit rating, and series in frame. Then a close shot of each breaker label.
