Through OEM agreements with companies like Eaton Cutler-Hammer, Siemens, ABB, Professional Power Products Inc.
provides protection of medium voltage power equipment for industrial plants and utilities. Utilizing proven and tested
technology from these circuit breaker and switchgear component manufacturers afford the flexibility to build switchgear with
a broad range of applications.
Professional Power Products offers voltage ratings from 2400V through 38kV (38KV in separate bulletin) and interrupting
ratings up to 63 kA. Our MV switchgear meets or exceeds ANSI/IEEE C37.20.2.
The MV switchgear utilizes the OEM modules of cell, breaker and auxiliary equipment, which can be assembled in various
configurations to satisfy the user requirements.
One or two-high breaker arrangements are standard up to 15 kV.
MV switchgear is an integrated assembly of draw-out vacuum circuit breakers, PT drawers, control power transformer
drawers, insulated bus and relays to electrically protect medium voltage circuits. The metal-clad features such as drawers,
barriers and compartments provide greater circuit separation and safety.
Important features include:
Mechanical interlocks are provided to maintain a proper and safe operating sequence.
All circuit breakers are equipped with self-aligning and self-coupling primary and secondary disconnecting
devices, and constructed with a mechanism for moving the breaker physically between connected and
disconnected positions.
All major primary components, such as circuit breakers, potential (or voltage) transformers, control power
transformers, and buses are completely enclosed and grounded by metal barriers. A metal barrier in front
of the circuit breaker and auxiliary drawer ensures that, when in the connected position, no live parts are
exposed by opening the compartment door.
Automated metal shutters cover primary circuit live parts when the removable element is in the
disconnected, test or removed position.
All primary bus conductors and connections are insulated with an epoxy coating for the maximum rated
voltage of that assembly.
Instruments, meters, relays, secondary control devices and their wiring are isolated, where necessary, by
grounded metal barriers from all primary circuit live parts.
Compartments include:
Circuit breaker compartment.
Auxiliary compartments including PT/CPT drawers, fuse drawers, battery compartment, transitions or
extra instrumentation.

VI. Value Added
The power module approach offered by Eaton Cutler-Hammer is shown in Fig 1. This pre-tested module is
utilized as the core of the switchgear section. Professional Power Products builds the rear bus compartment, bus, and
barriers in accordance with Eatons OEM handbook. The power module has been type tested per ANSI C37.20.2. All
construction is per OEM guidelines in the handbook. Further tests have been performed on rated continuous current test,
BIL impulse testing and dielectric tests on the insulation system to ensure our components maintain the original type tests.
