Electrical Distribution

Integrated Facility Switchboards™ utilize the modular Pow-R-Line C group mounted switch-board design to integrate traditionally separate electrical distribution and control equipment into a single space-saving factory assembled and connected package.

The service entrance equipment can be integrated with multiple lighting and appliance branch panelboards into a compact front accessible group mounted switchboard. Where multiple panelboards are utilized in the same electrical room as a conventional distribution switchboard or power panelboards, the integrated design will significantly reduce equipment space requirements, as well as, reducing installation time and costs.

Other associated equipment can also be integrated into the assembly, including dry type distribution transformers, time clock space, lighting control, electronic controls, surge suppression, metering and energy monitoring devices. Depending upon the application, other user defined equipment such as a subsystem control package may also be incorporated.

Application Description
Eaton Integrated Switchboards are designed to meet specific needs for:

• Retail Chain Stores
• Commercial Offices
• High Rise Offices
• Correctional Facilities
• Agricultural Facilities
• Light Industrial
• Others

Whether the application is a multi- site prototype or single application, integrated switchboards offer time and space saving features.

Features, Benefits and Functions

• Front Accessibility
  Integrated Switchboards are front accessible and align at the rear, enabling them to be placed against a wall. Most switchboards align at the front and the rear. If the main section is deeper than others, due to physical size of the main device, the necessary off-set in line up will occur in front, and the main section will be accessible from the side as well as from the front.
  
• Factory Interconnections
  Most sub-panels are fed from the main distribution panel feeder circuit breakers utilizing copper cable sized per the CEC and CSA.

Space Savings
The space saving switchboard installation provides additional usable floor space. For example:

• Retail Stores. . . . . . Floor space for sales
• Offices. . . . . . Additional storage, cubicle
• Health Care. . . . . . . Additional work area
• Retrofits . . . .Ability to fit existing rooms

Site Construction Savings
Timely installation of the electrical system is typically a key element on the critical path for any project. Along with the time to install the equipment, other expenses include the time to handle all of the loose pieces of equipment arriving on a job site and ensuring it reaches the proper trades person. With Eaton Integrated Switchboards, one piece of equipment is typically shipped to a job site virtually eliminating these issues.

The equipment may also be used for temporary power on job sites further reducing construction expenses and times.
