Switchgear services

From initial system analysis, to design, engineering, supply, installation, commissioning and upgrades of equipment through to repurposing or decommissioning. We provide lifecycle management and support.

On 11 July 2023, BRUSH Group decided to simplify its AC switchgear.
This portfolio simplification means that our longstanding Eclipse product will be phased out.
