INTEGRATED POWER ASSEMBLIES
Integrated Power Assembly (Electro/Center™)
When an Integrated Power Assembly (IPA) is delivered, all the customer typically needs to do is:
- Place it on the suitable foundation such as a concrete pad or base with similar strength and durability.
- Make the incoming and outgoing load connections. That is because an IPA is a complete unit…and can be prewired and factory tested, if required.
Application Description
A Variety of Industries and Service Organizations
- Communications
- Food Processing
- Heavy Industry
- Materials Handling
- Medical
- Mining
- Petrochemical

- Pipelines
- Power Substations
- Process Control
- Pumping Stations
- Refineries
- Switchgear Enclosures
- Many Others
Features, Benefits and Functions
An IPA provides these significant cost savings:
- Lower installation cost. Job site labor and material costs are sharply reduced because an IPA arrives complete, ready for connections.
- Minimal start-up time. Each IPA is checked to assure wiring accuracy, control scheme correctness, and equipment operation.
- Installation delays reduced. Job site delays caused by trying to coordinate multiple vendors are eliminated.
- Reduced procurement time. Scheduling and expediting are handled through a single point contact and only one purchase order is required.
- Customized design. IPA buildings have very few restrictions. They can be of almost any size, shape, or color…and in addition to the Cutler-Hammer electrical distribution and control equipment, can include whatever other non-Eaton equipment a customer may require.
We Are Your Single Source for IPAs
Eaton offers the industry’s most complete family of electrical distribution and control equipment and components plus the widest selection of ratings. And we provide IPAs that meet or exceed distribution systems requirements. As a single source supplier, we provide these significant advantages:
- Designing, Assembling, and Testing
Eaton certifies that all equipment and components are in compliance with applicable NEMA, IEEE, ANSI, UL, and IEC standards. The structure is certified to meet UBC, SBCCI, and BOCA requirements, while the installation of the equipment meets NEC requirements.
- Consistent Terms and Conditions
Eaton provides a single uniform set of terms and conditions for all equipment and components. Additionally, the terms and conditions are compatible with those of other Eaton Cutler-Hammer products that may be on the same project…providing the benefit of single package negotiation.
- One Contact Point
The Eaton worldwide network of engineers, sales representatives, and authorized distributors provides design and application assistance, pricing, delivery, and warranty information.
- One Overall Warranty
Eaton warrants all IPA equipment and components, plus the structure itself. An IPA Can Be Installed Where You Want
Installation flexibility is essential since IPAs are often used in applications where a controlled, protective environment is required. However, the actual location of an IPA can often vary from customer-to-customer. IPAs have been installed indoors on the main floor or second deck; outdoors on roofs; or as a separate detached structure. Standards and Certifications
