At Bay Power, as an authorized dealer for ABB switchgear, we often see clients looking for ways to keep pace with demands for safety, uptime, and smarter power control without constantly replacing complete systems. ABB’s ReliaGear LV SG (Low-Voltage Switchgear) offers a powerful solution to all of those concerns.
Many facilities are still operating with legacy air circuit breakers that are becoming increasingly difficult to maintain, repair, or source replacement parts for. Breakers such as GE AK/AKR, WavePro, Westinghouse DB, older ABB SACE Emax models, and other obsolete platforms continue to power critical infrastructure every day - but aging protection systems create growing reliability and safety concerns.
The SACE Emax 2 Retrofill Circuit Breaker from ABB is engineered to replace legacy breakers and limit facility downtime during the retrofit process. We are an ABB authorized dealer, and can help you plan out your retrofit project.
As a distributor with over 30 years of experience, we understand that electricians and project managers need more than just equipment - they need equipment that’s readily available, backed by technical expertise, and priced competitively. Siemens panelboards deliver exactly that.
Lighting contactors are electrically controlled switches designed for high-intensity lighting loads. Unlike standard breakers or manual switches, they enable centralized, automated control of entire lighting systems - improving efficiency, extending equipment life, and making maintenance safer. As an authorized ABB distributor, we provide customers with the full range of ABB contactors, helping you choose the right model, integrate it seamlessly, and support it throughout its lifecycle.

Meter sockets are an essential electrical system component, but many people don't know what they are or how they work. They are responsible for measuring the amount of electricity that your home uses and sending that information to your utility company for billing purposes.
Understanding meter sockets is important for homeowners and business owners alike. Whether you need to replace a faulty meter socket or want to upgrade your electrical system, it's essential to have a basic understanding of what they are and how they work. In this article, we'll take a closer look at meter sockets and their importance in the electrical system.

Additional Sound Test provided to validate a minimum 3 dB less than ST-20 Standards.
The electrical component supply chain is a complex network of suppliers and manufacturers that work together to provide the electrical components necessary for producing electrical goods. The global state of the electrical component supply chain has been in a state of flux for the past few years due to the disruption from the COVID-19 pandemic and trade embargos.

Electrical issues in the oil and gas industry can crop up in a variety of ways. One major concern for many companies is that old technology combined with inefficient motors that have no speed control often results in a lot of wasted energy leading to high energy costs. Since these operations are usually at the end of the electrical line, they commonly experience issues with “dirty power”: voltage variations, frequency variations, and insufficient voltage. These drops or surges in power can result in sine wave distortions or power disruptions that drive up costs and reduce system capacity.
Do you have a strategy for dealing with electric motor failure? If not, you could be losing thousands of dollars in ineffective solutions, downtime, and employee hours. At some companies, the strategy is a simple breakpoint: anything below 50 or 75 HP gets replaced, and anything above that gets repaired. These smaller motors are often referred to as throwaway motors.
But is there really such a thing as a throwaway motor? Is it always more cost effective to replace a smaller motor rather than repairing it?
