Retrofit circuit breakers are the implementation of modern components such as the primary switching devices, digital protection, or control technology in the existing cubicle. By adding state of the art components to the original equipment the useful life of the breaker is extended.
The benefits of doing a retrofit are:
- Rack-In/Rack-Out or Unbolt/Bolt-In Installation
- Downtime can be reduced to minutes
- Can be utilized as a spare in multiple Cubicles/Sub-Structures

Retrofill circuit breakers are when all the obsolete equipment, including the circuit breaker, is stripped and replaced with entirely new components as well as a new cubicle. Both new and old components must be modified in order to work together.
The benefits to doing a retrofill are:
- Upgraded Cubicle with moderate downtime
- New Primary and Secondary Disconnects
- New Rack-In/Rack-Out components
The Difference between a retrofit and a retrofill has to do with how the new components are installed.
A retrofit is a means where the new components are introduced without old components modification. An example of this would be removing an old circuit breaker from a cubical and being able to directly install a new retrofit circuit breaker without any cubical modifications.
Whereas, a retrofill is when both new and old components must be modified to work together. For example a retrofill circuit breaker would require a technician modifying/installing a new cubical in order to install a new circuit breaker.
