Investing in low maintenance switchgear like Siemens CMR reclosers delivers significant financial benefits through minimized upkeep and impressive reliability.
Siemens CMR reclosers offer an extended 25-year lifespan.
Low maintenance switchgear reduces scheduled upkeep significantly.
Upgrading dramatically cuts operational and maintenance (O&M) costs.
Utility operators traditionally face significant costs maintaining legacy hydraulic reclosers. Siemens Compact Modular Reclosers (CMRs), however, dramatically lower these costs, with minimal scheduled maintenance—only a battery replacement approximately every 8 years.
A clear example of the financial benefits of low maintenance switchgear comes from a utility co-op that saved over $120,000 annually. After replacing around 150 outdated reclosers with Siemens CMR units, the co-op significantly reduced O&M expenses, illustrating powerful long-term ROI.
"The CMR is designed to deliver a 25-year uninterrupted service life with the exception of rechargeable battery replacement every 8 years."
By switching to Siemens CMRs, utilities significantly decrease maintenance labor, minimize part replacements, and largely eliminate emergency repairs. This proactive investment strategy ensures predictable budgets and stable operating expenses over decades.
Beyond financial benefits, low maintenance switchgear like Siemens CMR reclosers provide exceptional reliability. With fewer maintenance intervals, utilities maintain continuous, stable power delivery, reducing outage risks.
Siemens CMR reclosers represent smart investments in low maintenance switchgear, ensuring a robust 25-year return by cutting maintenance costs, boosting reliability, and stabilizing long-term financial planning.
If you’re looking to upgrade your grid infrastructure and achieve long-term operational savings, Below 38KV is here to assist. Our expertise in implementing Siemens’ low maintenance switchgear solutions can help you realize significant ROI.
