MCR / MBR Replacement Breakers (for Allis-Chalmers)

MCR & MBR Medium Voltage
Replacement Circuit Breakers
ANSI 7.2/15kV at 500–1000 MVA, 1200-3000 Amperes
Replacement breakers provide a costeffective way to upgrade your system
capabilities while saving you from costly
maintenance and lost productivity while
preserving your investment in existing
cubicles and cables.
Why Siemens?
