2 Quality Eaton Products in a Single Enclosure at a Lower Installed Cost Eaton Corporation invented the concept of grouping electrical distribution and control equipment in a modular enclosure called an Electro/Center...custom designed to meet each customer s specific requirements. This concept is now part of a family of solutions we call Integrated Power Assemblies (IPA). Each Integrated Power Assembly Arrives Complete and Ready to Connect Saving Time and Money When an IPA is delivered, all the customer typically needs to do is: (1) place it on the suitable foundation such as a concrete pad or base with similar strength and durability and (2) make the incoming and outgoing load connections. That s because an IPA is a complete unit and can be prewired and factory tested, if required. An IPA provides these significant cost savings: Lower Installation Cost Job site labor and material costs are sharply reduced because an IPA arrives complete, ready for connections. Minimal Start-up Time Each IPA is checked to ensure wiring accuracy, control scheme correctness, and equipment operation. Installation Delays Reduced Job site delays caused by trying to coordinate multiple vendors are eliminated. Reduced Procurement Time Scheduling and expediting are handled through a single-point contact and only one purchase order is required. Customized Design IPAs have very few restrictions. They can be of almost any size, shape or color and in addition to Eaton electrical distribution and control equipment, can include whatever other non-eaton equipment a customer may require. We Are Your Single Source for Integrated Power Assemblies Eaton s business offers the industry s most complete family of electrical distribution and control equipment and components, plus the widest selection of ratings. And we provide IPAs that meet or exceed distribution systems requirements. As a single-source supplier, we provide these significant advantages: Designing, Assembling and Testing The Eaton business certifies that all equipment and components are in compliance with applicable NEMA T, IEEE, ANSI, UL T and IEC standards. The building is certified to meet IBC requirements, while the installation of the equipment meets NEC T requirements. Consistent Terms and Conditions The Eaton business provides a single uniform set of terms and conditions for all equipment and components. Additionally, the terms and conditions are compatible with those of other Eaton products that may be on the same project providing the benefit of singlepackage negotiation. One Contact Point The Eaton worldwide network of engineers, sales representatives, and authorized distributors provides design and application assistance, pricing, delivery and warranty information. One Overall Warranty The Eaton business warrants all IPA equipment and components, plus the structure itself. Seismic Qualification Label (Unless required in specifications, not all buildings are certified to meet seismic ratings.) Eaton distribution equipment is seismically tested, seismically qualified, and exceeds requirements of both the IBC and the California Building Code (CBC). CBC building certification is included only when required by specifications. Typical Integrated Power Assembly 2

3 Technical Data TD E An Integrated Power Assembly Can Be Installed Where You Want Installation flexibility is essential since IPAs are often used in applications where a controlled, protective environment is required. However, the actual location of an IPA can often vary between customers. IPAs have been installed indoors at ground level or on mezzanines; outdoors on roofs; or as a separate detached structure. Typical Eaton Equipment That Can Be Installed in an Integrated Power Assembly All types of Eaton electrical equipment can be installed in an IPA, including: Medium voltage switch. Medium voltage VacClad-W metal-clad switchgear. Ampgard T medium voltage starters. Medium voltage non-segregated bus. Low voltage switchgear Type Magnum DS. Low voltage switchboards Pow-R-M-S fixed or drawout. Pow-R-Line C low voltage group mounted switchboards. Pow-R-Line C low voltage panelboards. Freedom 2100, IT. and Advantage motor control centers. Dry-type distribution transformers. Adjustable frequency drives. Automatic transfer switches. Pow-R-Way III low voltage bus. Microprocessor-based metering, protection, control and monitoring devices.
