    Introducing Electromechanical Direct-Replacement Assemblies

    Date held: Wednesday, September 11, 2024

    Watch this webinar to learn how our preassembled retrofit kits ensure quick, seamless, and cost-effective replacement of legacy electromechanical relays.

    These direct-replacement assemblies combine a field-proven SEL digital relay with mounting plates, interposing terminal blocks, test switches, and other hardware that closely match the function, form-factor, and terminal blocks of specific legacy relays. And they can be installed in only a few hours, with minimal panel changes.

    We discuss the benefits and process of upgrading with direct-replacement assemblies, including:

    • Key features of the direct-replacement assemblies that replace Westinghouse CO relays, GE IAC relays, GE PVD relays, and GE BDD relays.
    • How direct-replacement assemblies for electromechanical relays, similar to the related SEL retrofit kits for digital relays, have been designed.
    • Some key benefits of modern digital relays, such as less maintenance, built-in fault recording, and multifunctional capabilities.
    • Considerations such as the layout of the original panel, necessary panel cuts, and the need to provide a power source for the new digital relays.
