The marketplace for used, obsolete, reconditioned, surplus, remanufactured, etc. Who purchases used and reconditioned circuit breakers We know that select older equipment may be more reliable in some cases because the older equipment was overbuilt and therefore suffers an abusive environment possibly better than some newer equipment.īut this statement does not permit a blanket statement suggesting used and reconditioned breakers are better than new breakers.
