Buss Switches

Rebuilt buss switches are electrical switches that have been refurbished and restored to their original condition, either by the manufacturer or by a specialized supplier. Buss switches are commonly used in electrical systems to transfer power from one source to another or to isolate parts of the system for maintenance or repair.

​

The rebuilding process typically involves disassembling the switch, cleaning and inspecting each component, and replacing any damaged or worn parts. The switch is then reassembled, tested, and certified to ensure that it meets the original manufacturer's specifications.

​

There are several benefits to using rebuilt buss switches, the primary one being cost savings. Rebuilt switches are often more affordable than buying a new switch, making them an attractive option for those on a tight budget. Additionally, rebuilding a switch can be a more environmentally friendly option, as it reduces the amount of electronic waste that would otherwise end up in a landfill.

​

Another advantage of using rebuilt buss switches is their availability. Some older or less common switches may no longer be manufactured, making it difficult to find a suitable replacement. Rebuilding the switch allows for continued use of the existing electrical system without the need for costly upgrades or modifications.

​

However, it is important to note that not all buss switches can be rebuilt. The rebuilding process is typically only recommended for switches that are in good condition and have not suffered extensive damage. If a switch is beyond repair or poses a safety risk, it is recommended to replace it with a new switch.

 

In summary, rebuilt buss switches can be a cost-effective and environmentally friendly option for those needing to replace or upgrade their electrical system. However, it is important to ensure that the switch is suitable for rebuilding and that a qualified and experienced professional performs the restoration to ensure the switch is restored to its original condition and meets all safety standards.
