Switchgear cable buyers in Louisiana
When a switchgear lineup is replaced, the cable around it becomes surplus in a very short window, and the window is worth using.
Start here 01
Review a switchgear cable lot
Switchgear and motor control centre replacements are discrete projects with a clear start and finish. Cable is pulled out of the old lineup, new cable is pulled into the new one, and whatever is left over sits in a laydown area until somebody decides what to do with it.
- Plant and contractor material kept as separate lots
- Records and reel tags are the evidence that matters
- Release, isolation and permits stay with the site

The material 02
What this lot looks like in Louisiana
The material is a mix of large feeder cable, control and CT/PT wiring, and grounding conductor. It is reviewed as a project lot rather than as a commodity, and the project documentation is what makes that possible.
Specification 03
What we need to review it
Small facts decide large outcomes. These are the ones that matter for this family.
| Feeder cable | 600 V to 15 kV, copper and aluminium, sized to the lineup |
|---|---|
| Control wiring | 600 V control cable and smaller multi-conductor assemblies |
| CT and PT circuits | Small-gauge wiring from instrument transformer circuits, often in conduit |
| Grounding | Bare and green conductor, plus braided bonds |
| Documentation | Switchgear project files, cable schedules and reel tags |
| Complications | Removed cable mixed with unused cable, and cut lengths from terminations |
Lots we buy 04
Switchgear cable material we review
New feeder cable left over
Unused reels from the replacement project, the cleanest part of the lot.
Removed feeder cable
Cable pulled from the old lineup, read as removed material with terminations cut.
Control and CT/PT wiring
Small-gauge wiring, reviewed in aggregate rather than reel by reel.
Grounding conductor
Bare and green conductor from the lineup's grounding work.
How it is read 05
How this family is evaluated
The split between unused and removed cable is the whole review. Unused reels are read on construction and footage; removed cable is read on condition and recovery value.
Because switchgear projects are documented, the split is usually recoverable from the project file. A lot that keeps them together is read as one conservative number.
Safety first. Switchgear work involves arc-flash and stored-energy hazards. Cable removal is the electrical contractor's work under the plant's switching procedure.

Questions —
Switchgear cable questions
Do you buy cable removed from an old lineup?
Yes, as removed material. Cut terminations and pulled cable are read on recovery value with any reusable lengths identified.
Is control wiring worth collecting?
In aggregate, yes. Boxes of small-gauge control wiring are reviewed together rather than as individual items.
What documentation helps most?
The cable schedule from the switchgear project. It names the constructions and lengths, which turns the review into a reconciliation.
Can the old switchgear be sold too?
Switchgear itself is a separate asset with its own buyers. This page covers the cable around it.
