Eaton’s integrated power assembly (IPA) is a fully customisable, prefabricated e-house that contains Eaton's industrial control and power distribution equipment. Eaton manages everything from the design to the construction to the quality inspection of the power distribution centre offering a flexible and streamlined process which is significantly more cost-effective than on-site construction.

| Exterior Finishes Electrical houses can be constructed with exteriors that provide better aesthetics. Sometimes there are requirements to match existing buildings such as brick veneer for a university. In some cases, the IPA is painted a specific colour to blend in with environmental surroundings. |

| Raised floor Typical cable management utilises conduit or cable tray. An alternative for control cable management and maintenance is to use a raised floor. |

| Foundation type Easily facilitates access for bottom cable entry. When used as a control room, an elevated pier offers better visibility to the operation. When the IPA is in a potential flood zone, this keeps the cabling at a safe distance, avoiding potential damage in the event of a flood. |

| Two-story Achieves a smaller footprint to fit existing available space. Two-story IPAs also allow vertical integration such as for a control room to be installed above the equipment room. |

| Removable roof An IPA with a removable roof enables access through areas with low shipping clearances. |
Available option | ||
| Classified areas Some applications may require the IPA to be located in a classified area, such as where explosive gases are present. |

| Extended Base Having an e-house with an extended base creates a fully integrated power assembly of indoor and outdoor equipment (i.e. MVS & Transformer). It facilitates coordination of equipment outside the building with the equipment inside the building and arrives at job site ready to start-up, reducing site work and construction of concrete pads. Relocating transformers to the outside of the building can reduce heat load inside the building. The extended base can also create a working platform outside of IPA. |
