Beckwith Electric provides three levels of replacement control assistance:

Level 1

Direct Replacements
The Beckwith Electric replacement controls described in this Quick Reference Guide are designed to be direct replacements for existing controls. We can provide pricing information immediately and most controls are available from stock.

Refer to the Quick Reference Guide to find a Beckwith Electric direct replacement control. The guide is organized into two sections: transformer controls and regulator controls. Controls are listed alphabetically by original manufacturer within each section.

Level 2

Engineered Products
Engineered Products are available to suit specific application needs. Some are complete replacement panels that fit in existing transformer/regulator control compartments and upgrade old controls to include such additional features as circulating current paralleling, SCADA interfaces and delta-VAr control. In addition, there are controls mounted in an enclosure for use when a complete control package is an economical alternative.

Engineered Products are available on short lead times. Contact Beckwith Electric for assistance in identifying an Engineered Product to suit your needs. A complete listing of Engineered Products and specifications for each product is available upon request.

Level 3

First-Time Applications & Design of New Controls
In cases where Beckwith Electric does not manufacture a direct replacement or an Engineered Product for your specific application, we will review your replacement requirements and either suggest a control from our product line for retrofit and evaluation by you, or offer a proposal for the design of a new control. In order for us to determine your replacement control requirements, you will typically need to provide the following information:

• Dimensions of old control and cabinet
• Photo of old control and cabinet
• Schematic and wiring diagram of old control
• Instructions for old control
• Special application information concerning original control, such as paralleling

If you receive a control for evaluation, you would fit the Beckwith Electric control in your existing cabinet, performing the mechanical and wiring conversion. However, if you determine after initial inspection that the suggested control is not suited to this specific application, you may return it (undamaged) and there will be no charge, except for shipping costs. You may then decide to have Beckwith provide a proposal for the design of a new control. The proposal for the design of a new control will include a brief description of the control, price, delivery schedule and preliminary electrical and mechanical sketches. Upon acceptance of the proposal, Beckwith Electric will design and build the new replacement control and also supply necessary instructions for installation and operation. The design effort will usually be accomplished in-house at Beckwith Electric, although sometimes an on-site visit is necessary.

Beckwith Electric can provide assistance in assessing your system needs on a station-by-station basis and developing a replacement program for you. An upgrade replacement program may involve the use of paralleling, addition of communication capabilities, updating of system control diagrams or other needs as defined.
