Mechanical Engineering Services
All professional engineering projects under the Quad Plus Brand are conducted by "Cooper & Associates", a Quad Plus company. Mechanical engineers deal with anything that moves and mechanical engineering is perhaps the broadest and most diverse of engineering disciplines. Mechanical engineers play a central role in such industries as automotive, aerospace, biotechnology, computers and electronics, energy conversion, environmental control, automation, and manufacturing. Perhaps the one skill that is the mechanical engineer’s exclusive domain is the ability to analyze and design objects and systems with motion. Mechanical engineers learn about materials, solid and fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, heat transfer, control, instrumentation, design, and manufacturing to understand mechanical systems.
With our Industrial Circuit Breaker Refurbishing, We can help you extend the functional life of your circuit breakers with our refurbishment/rebuild services; restoring your hard-working, vintage and existing breakers to “like-new” condition, and our Industrial Circuit Breaker Repairs Your distribution gear is critical to the effective operation of your business. When circuit breakers go down, they need to be restored right now!. And you need to know that the repair is fast and it is done right – the first time! We get that.
Our process for servicing circuit breakers has set the industry standard with steps including:
- Circuit Breaker Inspection: check for missing breaker parts, worn mechanisms, etc.
- Circuit Breaker Testing: conduct electrical and functional tests
- Worn Breaker Part Fix: check operating mechanism for worn parts
- Identify needed repairs and issue quote
- Breaker Repair / replace breaker parts
- Circuit breaker cleaning and full breaker lubrication
- Re-plating & painting
- Return breakers with one-year guarantee on parts replaced (Ask about available transportation to and from our Breaker Lab.)
Also with our Industrial Circuit Breaker Retrofitting, We can work with you to help reduce the losses that happen during downtime and upgrades. Our synchronous field retrofit solution is a fraction of the price of a new induction motor and VFD control system. Typically costing $100k or less, our retrofit options save you a ton compared to the cost of a new induction motor and control system ($500k up to several millions of dollars.) Our synchronous field circuit breaker retrofit solution also requires no additional space with our retrofit controls fitting in the exact same space you have today. A new system typically needs up to four times the space just for the upgraded controls.
