For operators of aging electrical infrastructure, the question of switchgear retrofit or replacement is a pressing one. Older equipment may lack modern safety features, have obsolete components, or no longer meet updated fault current or reliability requirements. A complete replacement with modern GIS or digital AIS offers the best performance but at the highest cost. A strategic retrofit—replacing only the circuit-breakers and controls while keeping the enclosure and buswork—can be a cost-effective middle ground, especially when facilitated by manufacturers offering upgradeable designs-9.
