Packaged Substation - Maximum Energy

Efficiency in the Smallest of Spaces

Eaton’s packaged substation combines medium-voltage switchgear,
transformers and low-voltage distribution boards in a single, compact
housing. This allows the local conversion of medium voltage into low
voltage with precision and minimal power losses. Now only a single
system is installed exactly where the respective voltages are required.

Bringing together both worlds in one system makes long running
low-voltage cables a thing of the past while simplifying installation and
maintenance. This has a positive effect on energy costs because medium
voltage cables are much more energy efficient than low voltage cables.

9x Faster Metering Installation in

New MCCB Panelboards

The easy-to-fit plug-and-play metering facilities in Eaton’s Memshield 3
MCCB panelboards makes installation up to 9x faster than before.
Memshield 3 MCCB panelboards have set new standards for versatility
and for fast, convenient installation by offering these easy-to-fit plug-and-
play metering facilities, as well as offering provision for incorporating
surge and lightning protection, the ability to accommodate four-pole
incoming devices with optional earth-leakage protection, and enhanced
mechanical construction.

Instead of having to make up to 42 individual connections to wire an
energy meter – a task that typically takes around 90 minutes and is error
prone because of the large number of connections – users of the new
panelboards only need make a few simple plug-in connections. The risk
of errors is eliminated, and a meter is easily wired in less than 10 minutes
and up to nine times faster.

The panelboards can be supplied in versions that accommodate incoming
devices rated up to 800A and outgoing devices rated from 16A to 400A.
They are available with 6 and 12 outgoing ways in all ratings, with selected
ratings also available in 18 way versions. At the low-current end of the
range, 250A incomer boards are additionally offered in 4- and 8-way
versions that provide convenient and cost-effective solutions for small
installations. All models meet the requirements of IEC 61439-2, with Form
3b, Type 2 separation.

Power Xpert® Busbar

The Eaton range of Power Xpert® Busbar ranges are tested to the latest
IEC 61439-6 standards and make for the perfect choice where flexibility
and reliability are key to a projects success.

Busbar systems complement Eaton’s low voltage distribution equipment
from packaged substations and LV distribution switchboards to a
complete selection of fused switchgear, circuit breaker systems and
motor control gear products.
