Federal Pacific has designed and manufactured a family of laboratory tested and stainless-steel).
Federal Pacific and its Powercon division each independently engineer and manufacture their own distinct metal-enclosed switchgear designs for medium-voltage power distribution and protection. While both product lines serve industrial, commercial, and utility applications using air-insulated load-break interrupter switches across 5kV through 38kV, each brings unique switch technology, current ratings, and engineering capabilities that make them suited for different project requirements.
Both Federal Pacific and Powercon metal-enclosed switchgear are completely factory built, wired, and assembled to customer specifications. These systems share a common set of design principles centered on operator safety, rugged construction, and flexible configuration.
Federal Pacific and Powercon metal-enclosed switchgear is specified for medium-voltage service entrance switching, transformer primary protection, feeder isolation, and source transfer across industrial, commercial, and utility facilities.
