New 600/347V Retrofit panelboard is now available

Our 240V Retrofit panelboard design has become so popular we have expanded the product offering to now include a 600Y/347V version. The NEW Pow-R-Line 2R panelboard is now available for retrofit applications.

Why Retrofit?

• No demolition of existing block or plaster walls required
• No need to cut conduit and risk damaging existing cables
• No drilling required to install the new trim
• No modification required to fit the new interior into the existing box

The question becomes "why not retrofit?" The simple to install construction of the Pow-R-Line 1R & 2R retrofit panelboards will definitely save you time and money!



New Options for Upgrading Existing Panelboards

More and more customers need to upgrade their existing electrical systems to meet their growing power demand. The digital age coupled with the aging infrastructure is driving these opportunities. However, having to upgrade existing panelboards can present many challenges for facilities managers.

Many older facilities may have a panel flush mounted in plaster, concrete or even block walls. Replacing the entire panel would require significant wall repair that can increase overall downtime and consume project dollars. Another concern in removing a panel could be disturbing installation such as asbestos. This again, can add time in money to the job for specialized removal.

For the situations above, the preferred way to upgrade the panelboard would be to use the existing box. However, there can be additional obstacles that many people may think would prevent them from doing so, such as:

• The box is too shallow or short to accommodate and upgrade
• Mounting a new interior in the box may not line up properly with the cover and dead-front
• Lead times can be too long for the project time line
• It is not always easy for a contractor to determine if the existing box specs can accommodate the upgrade and therefore they may be hesitant to do a detailed take off of the existing box specs.

The Pow-R-Line 1R, 240V max retrofit panelboards have been designed to fit into shallow (4-1/2" deep) and narrow (14" wide) existing boxes. The Pow-R-Line 2R, 600Y/347V retrofit panelboard fits into a 4-3/4" deep x 14" wide existing enclosure. The compact design allows you to handle even the most challenging upgrade needs. Both feature an innovative field adjustable interior assembly that has a built-in adjustable depth gauge relieving the pressure of the precise field measurement.

To satisfy the need for quick lead times and the desire for easier selection, we have made the retrofit panelboard available through our multiple Satellite plant locations across the country. Our retrofit panelboards are the 1st of their kind to be designed specifically for retrofitting applications.
