Rebuild-Switchgear
DEA Incorporated provides expert rebuild and upgrade services for mining switchgear, restoring performance and ensuring full MSHA compliance at significant cost savings.
DEA Incorporated delivers professional rebuild and refurbishment services for high-voltage switchgear used in underground and surface mining operations. We specialize in restoring damaged, outdated, or non-compliant switchgear to like-new condition, incorporating modern components and critical safety upgrades while maximizing the reuse of valuable existing parts.
The Rebuild Process Included:
At DEA Incorporated, our switchgear rebuild service allows customers to recover and modernize high-value equipment rather than purchase expensive replacements. A recent example involved a Dual 15kV switch that had been out of service for years and lacked the required visible disconnects to meet MSHA standards.
- Modified switch mounts to accept new ABB VersaRupter 15kV Switches
- Modified doors with viewing windows for visible blade position
- Complete sandblasting and powder coating of the entire unit in Safety Yellow
- Installation of new switches, 15kV cabling, insulators, entry cable strain relief, and external ground
- Creation and lamination of a new equipment schematic
This comprehensive rebuild transformed the unit into a fully compliant, reliable piece of equipment while delivering substantial cost savings compared to buying new switchgear.
The Key Benefits
- Achieves full MSHA compliance with visible disconnect verification
- Significant cost reduction versus new equipment
- Extended service life through quality refurbishment
- Modern component upgrades and improved safety features
- Faster turnaround than waiting for new deliveries
