Federal Pacific of Bristol, Virginia offers Live-Front and. Switchgear for those applications where alternate sources.
Federal Pacific pad-mounted switchgear provides a low-profile, tamper-resistant solution for underground medium-voltage distribution systems. Available across 15kV, 25kV, and 35kV classes, these assemblies support safe ground-level operation in radial, loop, and primary-selector switching applications for utility, industrial, and commercial environments.
Federal Pacific pad-mounted switchgear is built on 11-gauge all-welded steel enclosures with proven Auto-jet switching and advanced security features designed for outdoor public-access environments.
Pad-mounted switchgear is specified for locations where overhead power lines are restricted and equipment must be installed in public-access areas.
