Introduction

The GE control components are now obsolete and we have had to find a new manufacture to use. We have decided to go with Eaton control equipment for this. We are using the same supplier for these products and we have the added benefit if the supplier holding these parts in there stores. We had a choice to use either ABB, Eaton or Schneider components.

Although all of the individual Eaton components are a direct replacement for the GE components, there are certain situation that we may be tripped up. This includes times when we need to change a motor breaker that has an auxiliary block connected to it. We can change the breaker but the GE auxiliary block will not fit on the new Eaton one. This means that the Eaton components need to have different part numbers to the GE components.

This document will layout the new part numbers and what they relate to and instructions on how they are added and changed in the Sage system.

Étape 1 - Identify what parts need changing

The supplier that we use for the supply of our control components advised us of the need to changeover. The components that have been made unavailable are all of the GE components. This includes, all MCB's, all contactors (24Vdc, 24Vac, 230Vac), all motor overloads and any auxiliary components to go with these devices. See pictures for reference.
