Why source switchgear & switchboards overseas?
Switchgear is one of the longest-lead, highest-cost line items on any electrical package, and domestic distributor pricing and lead times have only gotten worse. Sourcing direct from a qualified overseas manufacturer typically lands the same gear well below domestic pricing, and Kelck manages the factory, QC, certification, and logistics so your team never touches it.
Frequently asked questions
- Will switchgear manufactured overseas pass Canadian electrical inspection?
- Yes, provided it carries the right certification for the Canadian market (CSA, or an equivalent accepted mark such as cUL / cETL / ULC) and is installed to code. Kelck verifies the certification on every item and records the certificate number, and your independent engineer of record reviews and signs off before the order is placed. That combination is exactly what an Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) looks for.
- What certifications do you provide for switchgear?
- We source equipment certified to the marks Canadian AHJs accept: most commonly CSA, with cUL, cETL, and ULC as recognized equivalents. Each item's certification and certificate number is entered on the platform and made visible to you and your engineer.
- How long does it take to get switchgear from overseas?
- Typical factory-to-site timelines run about 12 to 24 weeks depending on complexity (standard vs. engineered-to-order vs. fully bespoke). If schedule is critical, our Express Guarantee commits to a shorter window, and refunds the express surcharge if we miss it.
- How much can I save versus buying domestically?
- It varies by item and spec, but the whole reason to source overseas is landed cost. Request a free estimate with your equipment list and we'll show you the all-in number (equipment, freight, and duties) so you can compare it directly to your domestic quote.
