Chris Pearson:Legh Richardson:
If this switchgear was, or is, suitable for modern purposes then they would still be manufatured. I suspect that they maybe regarded as an over engineered product and so breaks one of the fundamental rules of modern material design....no built-in planned obsolescence.....I don't think that the current version is very different from Zoom's example. If the gear ends up dented scratched and rusty, it has not been looked after.
Built like an outhouse as JP says; or built like a battleship and wouldn't look out of place in one.
I am all for repurposing stuff, but if you charge a fair rate for bringing it up to scratch, you probably don't save the customer anything.
Hello Chris, in many cases the M.E.M. switch fuses and isolators would be near to new or even "new old stock" and never installed. They are mechanically perfect and electrical perfect. They would not look out of place in an industrial setting like a farmers barn, old workshop or storage facility.
