Modernization of equipment for the retrofit program can save up to 80% of the funds, and reduce the time for replacement equipment up to 1 day.

80% of equipment wear and domestic distribution networks is a causes of frequent blackouts and a long breaks of electricity transmission to the consumer and industrial companies.

The low voltage circuit breakers are is a heart of a distribution networks. Obsolete circuit breakers (both introductory and sectional and feeder) is main wear element of power equipment and in modern conditions they can not provide reliable protection of equipment and personnel.
