GE = Generous Electric (he says with a smile)

OK I know we have all heard this joke a bunch of times that GE stands for Generous Electric and it is usually said with a snicker.  But really it kind of does.  GE IS GENEROUS ELECTRIC.  But in a good way.

GE is generous to not only themselves but also all the folks who consume their durable goods.  We can repair GE circuit breakers and related apparatus because it was well designed and built originally.  More modern goods many times are not able to be repaired or serviced and so have a much shorter lifespan. 

Look at these legacy replacement breakers which recently arrived (the original air breakers are shown in the last photo).  These GE PVVL Vacuum Roll in Replacement Breakers are meant to replace the GE Magneblast line.

CBS Economics 101 - More Breakers = More Opportunities

MORE WAREHOUSING

More breakers & equipment for us means better breaker deals for you.  Simple American economics.   (Although one of our warehouse guys has another theory, we cannot share that here on a family blog).

In this "down" economy, we continue to maximize and compliment our vast inventories as plants and facilities across the United States are either closed, off shored or consolidated.   We have the best most complete inventory we have ever had and that is no easy statement for anyone who has visited. 

Our warehouse staff are also employing the latest technologies to better catalog inbound equipment and our existing inventories (bar coding, & QR codes to name a few).  With these easy to access "digital details" (ie., photos, part numbers, voltages, ratings etc) CBS can respond quicker to help our customers.  And our customers can also take advantage of these resources and our thirty years  of experience by sharing in our online resources like our GCBS OnLine Inventory System

And Bill keeps saying that we could "run out of something" so please try to help him out and call or email so the warehouse guys will get off his back .. admittedly 64 Westinghouse DK-25's was more than enough but that was a long time ago.  History does not always repeat itself :)

More Daily Arrivals!

The weather has finally broken 100 degrees here in Texas and that gets our inventory/warehouse folks really moving. 

Easily the the largest challenge we have is keeping track of the 1 million parts and breakers we have in stock. 

(Don't believe me on that one million number?  Come visit me and after we walk around a bit, the loser buys lunch.)

Here is load of equipment that came in last week.  It includes a 4000 amp double ended 480 volt substation.  This particular one is General Electric AKD-8.  This is very popular switchgear and has a significant "installed base" across America.

This piece has AKR-8D-100 4000 amp main breakers with an AKR-8D-75 tie breaker and 5 AKR-8D-50 1600 amp feeder breakers.  And "8" was the Epic Microversatrip and the first generation of "communications".  Notice the EPU display units on both mains.  Our techs can re-certify all this and ship switchgear like this that looks new (see future blog article, we just shipped a large piece of this).

And this photo is for all the breaker aficionados (do you really suppose there is such a thing?)  I can think of 3 members of that club besides me.  But I am sure it is like Skull & Bones and you cannot divulge your membership nor can I divulge those 3 members (Scott you are in).

This is the breaker elevating device for that AKD-8 switchgear above. If anyone has ever had the task of inserting or removing a circuit breaker "without" this device, they will really appreciate this photo. 

And never forget to use "remote racking equipment" when inserting or withdrawing any kind of  circuit breaker, motor control or other similar electrical device.
