Medium-voltage switchgear

Unitised power centres

Eaton's unitised power centres are self-contained, metal-enclosed unit substations specially designed to supply and distribute low-voltage power from medium-voltage lines in modern commercial and industrial systems. Unitised power centres are easily and conveniently applied throughout a distribution system at physical locations close to centres of load concentration, and distribution voltage is stepped down to the utilisation voltage only at or near the areas of demand. They are ideal where equipment size, accessibility, maintainability, ease of installation and overall economy are considerations of the utmost importance. 

Primary voltage
up to 15 kV
Transformer kVA
112.5 kVA – 1000 kVA

Core features

  • One-piece construction simplifies installation
  • The addition of unitised power centres to the system does not affect units serving original load areas, to easily accommodate future load growth
  • Front-only accessibility provides the ability for against-the-wall installations
  • Secondary output voltage may be adjusted to compensate for unusual load conditions without affecting the voltage setting of other apparatus in the system
  • Individual units located at or near their served loads allows for trouble to be more quickly isolated
  • Primary power is purchased from the utility at the lower primary power rates, resulting in operational cost savings throughout the life of the equipment
  • Options include integrally mounted panelboard, IQ electronic metres, IQ Energy Sentinel, PONI accessory
