Selling Surplus Circuit Breakers
Surplus Electrical Sales is a direct national buyer of circuit breakers. Circuit breakers are the single most-traded item in the surplus electrical market. We buy new, used, surplus, obsolete, and reconditioned molded-case, insulated-case, and air circuit breakers from every major manufacturer — in any quantity, from a single hard-to-find unit to full pallets. Because we buy directly and resell or recondition in-house, we can pay competitive prices and remove the unit from your facility at no cost to you.
Surplus circuit breakers accumulate whenever facilities upgrade, expand, or shut down equipment. Rather than scrapping these assets for a fraction of their worth or letting them occupy valuable space, sell them to us and recover real value quickly.
What Affects Your circuit breaker Payout
The cash value of circuit breakers depends on brand, model/rating, condition, and quantity — there is no single fixed price. Obsolete and high-capacity units typically pay the most. The table below shows the factors we weigh when making an offer.
| Value Factor | How It Affects Your Cash Offer |
|---|---|
| Brand and series | Square D, Eaton/Cutler-Hammer, Siemens, GE, ABB |
| Frame size and amperage rating | higher amperage typically pays more |
| Obsolete or discontinued models often command premium pricing | Affects the final cash offer |
| Condition | new-surplus (NOS) and tested/reconditioned units pay more than untested used |
| Quantity — full pallets and lot purchases increase total value | Affects the final cash offer |
