Custom-Engineered Switchgear
Federal Pacific, together with its specialized Powercon division, provides custom-engineered switchgear and substation solutions for complex electrical distribution requirements where standard equipment cannot meet site-specific physical or electrical constraints. Whether the challenge is a non-standard footprint, advanced protection coordination, or integration with legacy infrastructure, these tailored assemblies are engineered to project specifications for optimal reliability and serviceability.
Technical Overview
Custom-engineered switchgear focuses on mechanical flexibility and advanced electrical protection to solve integration challenges that standard configurations cannot address.
- Customized bus transitions for seamless integration with existing switchgear and transformers.
- Engineered enclosure dimensions to accommodate narrow hallways, restricted doorways, or existing concrete pads.
- Advanced protective relaying and control schemes tailored to complex site-specific automation requirements.
- Hybrid insulation systems and specialized material selections for corrosive or hazardous environments.
- Custom voltage configurations from 5kV through 38kV for switchgear applications, with broader voltage capability available for substation projects control house solutions.
Typical Applications
Custom-engineered switchgear focuses on mechanical flexibility and advanced electrical protection to solve integration challenges that standard configurations cannot address.
Urban substations and high-rise mechanical rooms with space limitations.
Retrofitting industrial manufacturing facilities with specialized legacy bus work.
Critical infrastructure sites requiring redundant or complex protection schemes.
Hazardous or corrosive chemical processing and coastal environments.
Custom Medium-Voltage Switchgear
Federal Pacific and Powercon engineer both pad-mounted and metal-enclosed switchgear, along with Powercon metal-clad switchgear, to site-specific physical and electrical requirements where standard configurations cannot meet project constraints.
