HT & LT Breaker Servicing

Expert maintenance, testing, and repair of high tension and low tension circuit breakers — ensuring reliable protection for your electrical systems and preventing costly downtime.

What Is HT & LT Breaker Servicing?

Circuit breakers are the backbone of electrical protection in any facility — they safeguard expensive equipment, prevent fires, and ensure continuity of operations. But like any mechanical and electrical device, breakers require regular maintenance to function reliably when called upon.

HT (High Tension) and LT (Low Tension) breaker servicing involves comprehensive inspection, cleaning, testing, calibration, and repair of circuit breakers used in industrial and commercial electrical systems. This includes Air Circuit Breakers (ACB), Vacuum Circuit Breakers (VCB), SF6 Circuit Breakers, Oil Circuit Breakers (OCB), and Moulded Case Circuit Breakers (MCCB).

At Enervia, we provide end-to-end breaker servicing — from routine preventive maintenance to emergency repairs and upgrades. Our technicians are trained in the latest testing procedures and safety protocols, using calibrated instruments to ensure your breakers meet manufacturer specifications and electrical safety standards.

Our Breaker Servicing Scope

Preventive Maintenance

Scheduled annual or bi-annual maintenance to keep breakers in optimal condition — reducing the risk of unexpected failures and extending equipment lifespan through regular inspection, cleaning, lubrication, and minor adjustments.

Electrical Testing

Comprehensive testing using calibrated instruments — contact resistance, insulation resistance (IR test), high voltage withstand test, trip time analysis, and operational sequence testing to verify breaker performance against standards.

Breakdown Repairs

Emergency repair services for breakers that have failed or tripped due to faults — rapid diagnosis, spare parts procurement, on-site or workshop repair, and testing before re-energization to minimize production downtime.

Calibration & Settings

Adjustment of trip settings, overload curves, short circuit pickup, and time delays based on updated load profiles and coordination studies — ensuring selective tripping and protecting downstream equipment properly.

Mechanism Overhaul

Complete disassembly, inspection, and reconditioning of operating mechanisms — replacement of worn springs, bearings, linkages, and dashpots, followed by functional testing and adjustment for smooth and reliable operation.

Documentation & Reports

Detailed service reports with test results, observations, and recommendations — including photographic evidence, compliance certificates, and maintenance schedules for regulatory compliance and asset management records.

Benefits of Regular Breaker Servicing

  • Prevent Equipment Damage: Properly functioning breakers protect motors, transformers, and other expensive equipment from overloads and short circuits.
  • Minimize Downtime: Routine maintenance identifies potential failures before they occur, preventing unplanned shutdowns and production losses.
  • Ensure Safety: Well-maintained breakers reduce the risk of electrical fires, arc flash incidents, and personnel injuries.
  • Regulatory Compliance: Meet electrical safety audit requirements and insurance conditions through documented periodic maintenance.
  • Extend Equipment Life: Regular servicing prevents premature wear and degradation, maximizing return on investment in your electrical infrastructure.
  • Accurate Protection: Calibrated trip settings ensure breakers operate correctly for actual load conditions and fault scenarios.
  • Cost Savings: Early detection and correction of minor issues prevent expensive major repairs or complete breaker replacements.
  • System Reliability: Confidence that your electrical protection will work when needed most — during fault conditions.
