Westinghouse Medium Voltage Compressed Air Breakers
Westinghouse Medium Voltage Compressed Air BreakersHave you been struggling to find support for your Westinghouse Compressed Air Circuit Breakers? Are you looking for genuine Westinghouse parts, life extension kits, new or refurbished breakers? Look no more!
Homewood Products Corporation, formerly the Westinghouse Electro-Mechanical Division of Westinghouse Electric Corporation, is manufacturing the Westinghouse Compressed Air Circuit Breaker (CA). We produce genuine Westinghouse parts, build new or refurbish breakers from the original manufacturing drawings used to build your specific breaker. We can also build breakers for new installations.
At Homewood, we have taken the most reliable* medium voltage breakers available and made them even better. We have enhanced the design, updated materials improved the controls and auxiliary switches, added stainless steel plumbing and test tees and developed life extension kits.
Why change out environmentally friendly breakers that were designed to last a lifetime? Our life extension kits allow you to cost effectively extend the service life of your CA breakers well into the twenty-first century. This can be done without expensive change out costs, environmental concerns and re-training of maintenance personnel associated with gas replacement breakers.
These engineered kits are available for installation at your site for both the upper and lower cabinets, and can be installed by your or our personnel. We also offer arc chute rebuild kits that allow you to replace the critical arc extinguishing elements without replacing the entire arc chute. When a complete arc chute is required we can supply either a new or refurbished one.
Our design engineering team, which includes the engineer who was responsible for the original Westinghouse CA breaker product line, can provide engineering review to increase the current rating if desired. There are no "reverse engineered" parts. Since the parts or breakers are manufactured from your original shop order, there is no guessing on the dimensions. They will be a direct replacement and fit -- we guarantee it!

Whether you need parts, life extension kits, or complete breakers, Homewood is here to provide cost effective solutions. Let us help you plan your refurbishment program.
