MV Medium Voltage Products

Products for voltage levels up to 36,000V from Eaton switchgear systems and components, which play an essential part in electricity distribution networks and the power supply of industrial plants, especially where a high degree of flexibility, reliability and safety is required. Systems feature either epoxy resin insulation or metalclad construction and are provided with circuit breakers and switches equipped with Eaton vacuum interruptors. The design, manufacture and service procedures comply with the highest quality and safety standards.

Motor Control Centres

The international standard for design, construction and testing of low voltage switchboards and low voltage switchgear and control gear assemblies, IEC60439-1, provides for two fundamental approaches. Type Tested Assemblies – where performance is paramount, and Partially Type Tested Assemblies – where performance is calculated to balance the demands of the operation.

Eaton’s knowledge and understanding of the application of all relevant IEC standards and statutory requirements assures that assemblies not only satisfy the PTTA or TTA design and construction needs but also prevent costly and potentially harmful failure.

LV Packaged Substations

Low Voltage Packaged substations are an increasingly popular commercial solution saving cost by reducing the amount of cabling between the switchboard and the transformer. Space is also saved by eliminating the need to segregate by room.

A typical indoor packaged substation comprises a power transformer and a low voltage switchboard assembled together to form a complete unit. Due to the number of variations possible each substation is the subject of an individual design exercise aimed at producing the optimum arrangement for a given installation.
