An IFS reduces both floor space and material needed for power systems over traditional installations. The space-saving switchboard structure requires 40% less electrical room space, resulting in more room for tenants or less site disturbance. By using less copper and steel, IFS delivers a sustainable solution.
Eaton's Integrated Facility System™ (IFS) is our latest innovation for electrical distribution equipment. This unique solution integrates Cutler-Hammer electrical distribution equipment into one space-saving switchboard structure while maintaining or expanding the available wiring space.

Four Times the Savings
IFS has the ability to combine distribution switchboards, dry-type distribution transformers and panelboards into a single, factory pre-wired system that:
- Reduces installation time
- Reduces installation space
- Reduces overall installed costs
- Reduces the number of pieces of equipment to handle
By incorporating Cutler-Hammer Smart Breaker™ technology into Pow-R-Command™ lighting control products, the IFS provides a high-performance controller that can be used in all major lighting areas. Reliable load control is achieved by integrating the contactor function directly into the circuit breaker - these features make the IFS easier to use and maintain.
