McGraw-Edison 550-CS Load Tap Changer Contacts
The McGraw-Edison 550-CS is a load tap changer found across the utility transformer fleet, and its switching contacts are the primary wear item. It is the current contact set for tap changers cataloged as the McGraw-Edison 550C, so a 550C takes the same kit. The original line is largely out of production, so replacements come from a shop that still makes them. Southern Switch machines and reverse-engineers the full McGraw-Edison 550-CS contact set in-house in Palm Harbor, Florida, to the original dimensional specification, including complete contact kits, reversing switch contacts, contact fingers. Refurbish your worn contacts or order OEM-spec replacements; lead time is confirmed at quote.

Refurbished, reverse-engineered, or new.
Send us your worn 550-CS contacts and we refurbish them where the base material is sound. Where it is not, we machine new OEM-spec replacements, and where the OEM part is long gone we reverse-engineer it from a sample, a drawing, or a model number. That is the difference from a catalog seller: we are the shop making the part. Full LTC rebuild service is available when the whole tap changer needs work.
Maintenance and background.
McGraw-Edison 550-CS questions.
Are McGraw-Edison 550-CS LTC contacts still available?
Yes. The original McGraw-Edison line is largely out of production, so replacements come from a shop that still makes them. Southern Switch machines and, where the part is obsolete, reverse-engineers the full McGraw-Edison 550-CS contact set in-house in Palm Harbor, FL, to the original dimensional specification.
Can you refurbish my existing 550-CS contacts, or only supply new?
Both. We refurbish customer-supplied McGraw-Edison 550-CS contacts where the base material is sound, and machine new OEM-spec replacements where it is not.
How fast can you supply 550-CS contacts?
Lead time is confirmed at quote and depends on current material availability. In-stock items ship quickly; reverse-engineered first runs take longer.
Tell us which 550-CS contacts you need, or send a sample. We respond within one business day with availability, a price, and a lead time.
