100% Canadian Owned and Operated – Shipping across Canada and America – 24*7 Emergency Services
When electrical systems fail, availability is everything. During emergencies, downtime is not caused by lack of expertise — it is caused by lack of inventory. Facilities lose time when parts must be sourced, manufactured, or substituted. RS Breakers exists to eliminate that delay by maintaining a massive emergency electrical inventory built specifically for urgent, real-world failures.
RS Breakers stocks emergency electrical equipment in stock, ready to ship across Canada and the United States. This inventory includes surplus electrical equipment, obsolete electrical equipment, and discontinued electrical parts that are no longer available through standard distribution channels. When others are searching, RS is shipping.
Our emergency electrical inventory supports failures caused by flooding, power outages, cold weather load surges, disasters, and infrastructure damage. In these situations, facilities require immediate access to components that match their existing systems. That is why RS focuses on like-for-like replacement using surplus and obsolete inventory — not temporary workarounds or forced retrofits.
RS maintains extensive stock of surplus circuit breakers, including rare and discontinued models used in industrial, commercial, and institutional facilities. These surplus circuit breakers allow systems to be restored exactly as designed, reducing downtime and avoiding redesigns. For emergency situations, having emergency circuit breakers in stock is the difference between hours offline and weeks of disruption.
Beyond breakers, RS carries a wide range of emergency electrical supplies required to restore complete electrical systems. This includes switchgear, commercial switchgear, industrial switchgear, and medium voltage switchgear components used in critical power distribution. When switchgear fails, sourcing replacements quickly is often the biggest challenge. RS solves that by maintaining emergency switchgear inventory ready for immediate deployment.
RS’s emergency inventory also includes panel boards and switchboards, which are commonly impacted during electrical emergencies. Facilities operating older panel systems frequently struggle to find replacements when failures occur. By stocking obsolete panel boards, discontinued switchboards, and surplus panel components, RS enables emergency panel board replacement without forcing full system upgrades.
Power distribution emergencies often extend beyond breakers and panels. RS stocks bus plugs (fusible) and bus duct, allowing damaged distribution systems to be repaired without modifying layouts or shutting down entire facilities. When bus systems fail, access to surplus bus plugs and bus duct components significantly reduces downtime.
Motor control failures are another major cause of extended outages. RS maintains inventory of Motor Control Center (MCC) buckets and wrappers, supporting emergency MCC bucket replacement and like-for-like MCC repairs. Instead of replacing entire MCC lineups, facilities can restore individual motors using surplus MCC buckets and wrappers already in stock. RS also supports NEMA starters and NEMA contactors, which are frequently required during emergency motor control repairs.
Backup power systems create their own urgent demands. Failures involving generator circuit breakers often occur during outages or load transfer events. RS stocks emergency generator circuit breakers to support rapid restoration of standby power systems. When generator protection fails, waiting is not an option — immediate replacement is required.
RS also supports emergency needs involving transformers, which are critical for voltage control and system stability. While transformer failures are less frequent, having transformers available in emergency inventory allows facilities to stabilize systems without extended outages.
What sets RS apart is not just the size of its inventory — it is the intent behind it. RS does not stock generic parts. RS stocks surplus, obsolete, and discontinued electrical equipment specifically to support emergencies where like-for-like replacement is the fastest and safest solution. This inventory strategy allows RS to support facilities operating legacy systems without forcing redesigns or retrofits under pressure.
During emergencies, supply chains tighten, lead times extend, and standard distributors run out of stock. RS’s emergency electrical inventory exists to solve that exact problem. With surplus electrical equipment in stock, RS can respond immediately when others cannot.
If your electrical system is down, the question is not whether a solution exists — it’s whether the right part is available right now. With one of the most comprehensive emergency electrical inventories in North America, RS Breakers ensures that rare, obsolete, and surplus equipment is not a barrier to restoration — it’s the solution.
When electrical equipment fails, the word obsolete is often treated as a dead end. In reality, obsolete does not mean unusable, unsafe, or unsupported — it simply means the original manufacturer no longer produces the part. For facilities operating legacy electrical systems, access to surplus electrical equipment, obsolete electrical equipment, and discontinued electrical parts is what determines whether power can be restored quickly or downtime becomes prolonged and expensive.
RS Breakers was built around this reality. We maintain one of the most comprehensive inventories of surplus and obsolete electrical equipment in North America specifically to support emergency situations. When OEMs stop production and distributors run out of stock, RS continues to supply discontinued electrical equipment that keeps real-world systems running.
Facilities across industrial, commercial, institutional, and infrastructure sectors still rely on electrical systems installed decades ago. These systems were engineered to last, and many remain safe and reliable when properly maintained. The problem arises when a single component fails and replacements are no longer available through standard channels. This is where surplus circuit breakers and surplus electrical equipment become essential.
RS stocks surplus circuit breakers across all vintages, including rare and discontinued models that are no longer supported by manufacturers. These obsolete circuit breakers allow facilities to perform like-for-like replacement instead of being forced into costly retrofits or complete system replacements. During emergencies, surplus circuit breakers in stock can reduce downtime from weeks to hours.
Surplus inventory extends far beyond breakers. RS maintains extensive stock of obsolete switchgear components, discontinued panel boards, surplus switchboards, MCC buckets and wrappers, bus plugs (fusible), bus duct, generator circuit breakers, transformers, NEMA starters, and NEMA contactors. Each of these components plays a critical role in electrical systems, and when any one fails, access to surplus inventory can prevent a cascading shutdown.
One of the most common misconceptions is that surplus or obsolete electrical equipment is unreliable. In reality, surplus electrical equipment refers to new, unused, or professionally tested components that were never installed or were removed from serviceable systems. When sourced, inspected, and handled correctly, surplus equipment performs exactly as intended. RS Breakers focuses on quality-controlled surplus electrical inventory, not questionable or unverified parts.
Discontinued electrical equipment is especially valuable during emergencies. When OEM production stops, replacement timelines shift from days to months — or disappear entirely. RS maintains discontinued electrical parts inventory so facilities are not forced into redesigns simply due to availability constraints. This applies across circuit breakers, switchgear, panel boards, MCC equipment, and generator protection systems.
Another advantage of surplus and obsolete inventory is predictability. Like-for-like replacement using surplus electrical equipment preserves the original electrical design, protection coordination, and approvals. Inspectors and insurers prefer this approach because it minimizes risk and avoids introducing untested modifications during emergency repairs.
RS’s surplus inventory strategy is intentional. We track demand patterns driven by flooding, cold weather events, power outages, and infrastructure failures. When emergencies happen, standard suppliers are overwhelmed. RS’s surplus and obsolete electrical equipment inventory exists to fill that gap immediately.
During regional emergencies, access to surplus electrical equipment in stock becomes even more critical. Supply chains tighten, logistics slow, and manufacturers prioritize new production. RS Breakers remains focused on availability — not future lead times. When others are waiting for shipments, RS is delivering.
Facilities that rely on legacy electrical systems do not need to replace entire infrastructures to remain operational. They need access to the right part at the right time. Surplus, obsolete, and discontinued electrical equipment makes that possible.
Choosing surplus inventory is not a compromise — it is a strategic advantage. It allows facilities to:
RS Breakers has built its reputation on supplying the equipment that others cannot. With deep inventory of surplus circuit breakers, obsolete switchgear, discontinued panel boards, MCC buckets, bus systems, generator breakers, and motor control equipment, RS ensures that age or availability never become barriers to recovery.
In emergency situations, the right decision is often the simplest one: exact breaker replacement without redesign. With surplus and obsolete breakers and electical inventory available immediately, that decision becomes possible.
When facilities search for emergency electrical inventory, they are not looking for theory — they are looking for confirmation. Confirmation that the exact equipment they rely on is available right now. RS Breakers maintains deep, ready-to-ship inventory across the most critical categories of electrical infrastructure, allowing facilities to restore power without redesigns, substitutions, or extended downtime.
At the core of RS’s emergency inventory are circuit breakers. RS stocks a wide range of industrial circuit breakers, including obsolete circuit breakers, discontinued circuit breakers, and surplus circuit breakers used in legacy and modern systems. These breakers support like-for-like replacement across commercial, industrial, and institutional facilities. When breakers fail due to flooding, cold weather load surges, or power restoration events, having emergency circuit breakers available now is the fastest path back online.
RS also maintains extensive inventory of vacuum breakers and air breakers, including both draw-out and fixed configurations. These breakers are commonly used in larger distribution systems and critical infrastructure. During emergencies, sourcing vacuum circuit breakers or air circuit breakers can be challenging due to limited availability. RS eliminates that delay by keeping these components available for immediate shipment.
Power continuity systems depend on reliable backup protection. RS stocks generator circuit breakers required for standby power systems, load transfer, and emergency generation. When generator circuit breakers fail, facilities risk losing both primary and backup power. Access to emergency generator circuit breakers ensures backup systems can be restored without delay.
Beyond breakers, RS carries a wide range of switchgear inventory, including commercial switchgear, industrial switchgear, and medium voltage switchgear components. Switchgear failures often involve individual breakers, sections, or internal components — not entire lineups. RS’s inventory allows facilities to perform like-for-like switchgear replacement instead of replacing complete assemblies.
Panel boards and switchboards are another critical area of emergency demand. RS stocks components and assemblies for panel board emergency systems, including:
These systems are widely installed and frequently impacted during emergencies. RS’s ability to supply obsolete panel boards and discontinued switchboard components allows facilities to restore service without full system replacement.
Electrical distribution systems also rely heavily on bus plugs (fusible) and bus duct. Failures in these components can shut down entire sections of a facility. RS stocks fusible bus plugs and bus duct components, supporting rapid restoration of distribution systems without layout changes or extended outages.
Motor control is another area where downtime escalates quickly. RS maintains inventory of Motor Control Center (MCC) buckets and wrappers, allowing facilities to replace failed units individually. Emergency MCC bucket replacement avoids shutting down entire MCC lineups. RS also stocks NEMA starters and NEMA contactors, which are frequently required for emergency motor control repairs.
RS’s emergency inventory extends to transformers, supporting voltage control and system stability during electrical failures. When transformer replacement is required, having units available in emergency inventory prevents prolonged outages and temporary workarounds.
What ties all of this together is availability. RS does not rely on just-in-time sourcing. RS stocks surplus electrical equipment, obsolete electrical equipment, and discontinued electrical parts across every major category of electrical infrastructure. This allows RS to respond immediately when emergencies occur.
During widespread outages, natural disasters, or extreme weather events, standard suppliers run out of stock quickly. RS’s emergency electrical inventory is designed to remain available when demand spikes and supply chains tighten.
If your facility is down, the question is not whether the equipment exists — it’s whether it’s available now. With deep inventory of circuit breakers, vacuum breakers, air breakers, switchgear, panel boards, bus systems, MCC buckets, generator breakers, and transformers, RS Breakers ensures availability is never the limiting factor in recovery.
In emergency situations, brand compatibility matters as much as availability. Electrical systems are engineered around specific manufacturers, form factors, and protection schemes. Substituting equipment under pressure introduces risk, delays inspections, and complicates insurance reviews. That’s why RS Breakers maintains deep, brand-specific inventory designed to support like-for-like replacement across legacy and modern systems.
RS stocks emergency electrical equipment from many of the most widely installed — and most difficult to source — manufacturers in North America. This includes extensive inventory from Federal Pioneer, Westinghouse, General Electric, Canadian General Electric (CGE), CGE – Canadian General Electric Magna Blast, Amalgamated Electric, Commander, CEB, Sylvania, Siemens, ITE, Bulldog, and other legacy brands still operating in thousands of facilities today.
When failures occur in these systems, standard suppliers often cannot help. OEMs have discontinued production, and distributors no longer stock compatible parts. RS Breakers fills that gap with surplus, obsolete, and discontinued electrical equipment specifically maintained for emergency response.
RS also supports equipment from more recent but discontinued product lines, including Cutler Hammer, Eaton, Square D, Schneider Electric, ABB, SACE, Asea Brown Boveria, and Klockner Moeller. These brands are commonly found in panel boards, switchboards, switchgear, MCC lineups, and generator protection systems. When components from these manufacturers fail, RS can often provide brand-specific, like-for-like replacement immediately.
Facilities relying on specialty and discontinued systems benefit from RS’s inventory of hard-to-find equipment such as Pushmatic (Push Matic) breakers, Pringle switches, Bolt switches, Bolt Lock devices, Pressure Lock switches, Taylor Electric equipment, and Hydel systems. These products are frequently assumed to be impossible to replace — until RS is called.
Panel boards and switchboards are a particular area of strength. RS stocks components and assemblies for panel board emergency systems, including Square D I-Line panel boards, Eaton Power-Line 4 panel boards, Eaton Power-Line 3000 (PRL3000) switchboards, CDP Westinghouse panel boards, CDP panel boards, and Federal Pioneer CDP panels. This allows facilities to restore service without replacing entire lineups or redesigning distribution systems.
RS’s brand-specific inventory extends across all major electrical categories:
What makes this inventory powerful is not just its size — it’s how it’s curated. RS does not stock random surplus. Every component is selected to support real-world systems that facilities depend on today. This allows electricians, engineers, and facilities managers to restore power without introducing incompatibilities or compliance issues.
During emergencies, brand uncertainty creates hesitation. Hesitation creates downtime. RS eliminates that hesitation by answering the most important question immediately: yes, we have it — and we can deliver it now.
With one of the deepest collections of brand-specific emergency electrical inventory in North America, RS Breakers ensures that manufacturer discontinuation, system age, or rarity never become barriers to recovery.
If your system depends on a specific brand, model, or configuration, the fastest way forward is not substitution — it’s replacement. Call RS Breakers with your equipment details, and our team of emergency electrical supply specialists will confirm availability, compatibility, and delivery options immediately.
When every minute counts, having the right brand in stock makes all the difference.
When electrical failures turn into emergencies, the outcome is determined by one thing: availability. Facilities don’t lose time because solutions don’t exist — they lose time because the right equipment can’t be sourced fast enough. This is why emergency electrical inventory, surplus electrical equipment, and obsolete and discontinued parts are the difference between rapid recovery and extended downtime.
By maintaining deep, brand-specific inventory across circuit breakers, switchgear, panel boards, MCC buckets, bus systems, generator breakers, transformers, and motor control equipment, RS Breakers removes availability from the list of risks. When others are waiting on manufacturers or forcing retrofits, RS is delivering like-for-like replacements that restore power quickly, safely, and without unnecessary redesigns.
The next step is simple: when your system is down, confirm availability before committing to change. With one of the most comprehensive emergency electrical inventories in North America, RS Breakers ensures that rarity, age, or discontinuation never stand in the way of getting back online.
