Retrofit Solutions.
Renewing aging and
obsolete switchgear
quickly and efficiently
Many marine vessel power systems contain ageing and obsolete switchgear equipment that is no longer supported by the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and can benefit from retrofit solutions.
For instance, manually dependent oil circuit breakers made before 1970 are still fairly common. Other worn out or dangerous circuit breakers may be present and are an ever increasing risk that could cause power failure or even fire.
To prevent catastrophic faults and failure, it is best to act sooner rather than later and replace older unsupported parts with the latest safe and efficient air circuit breakers.
Besides the corresponding voltage levels, there are other additional aspects like environmental independence, maintenance-free design, compactness, security of investment, cost-efficiency, service friendliness and flexibility – always according to the specific demand.

- Increase in performance and operational life
- Reduced maintenance costs and improved reliability
- Optimising of existing components
- Efficient Upgrade for old Switchgear
- Innovative Method Saves Time & Money
- Guaranteed Future Support
- Updated CAD Drawings
At RB Marine, we have developed a wide range of retrofit solutions that allows our engineers to replace electrical switchgear parts without causing downtime and disruption.
Old circuit breakers can be exchanged for new ones without altering the switchboard busbars or interlocks. This makes the process faster and less costly to the end user.
We also update all your circuit diagrams on CAD as part of the retrofit package, and you will receive ongoing support for your switchgear equipment for many years to come.
