Front Accessibility
Full front accessibility for cable connections and current transformers (CT); this design feature ensures ease of maintenance, minimal usage of floor space and creates a safe environment.
Magnetically Actuated Breaker
Magnetically actuated breakers operate up to 100,000 times without maintenance. These breakers feature far fewer parts and much simpler construction and are among the most reliable in the industry.
Rear Viewing Windows
Larger viewing casement allows complete access to viewing of the bus bar compartment for maintenance to assess any signs of overheating of the bus.
Infrared (IR) Viewing Ports (Optional)
Front and rear infrared viewing ports allow maintenance personnel to easily access thermal monitoring of the equipment without having to open the enclosure.
Insulated Bus Bar System
Medium Voltage insulating and support system with specialty designed structure for current transformers (CT’s). Epoxy insulated bus as standard.
Testing
Rigorous testing shows fully reinforced and sealed joints, hinges and latches, which reduce the risk of damage to maintenance personnel and other existing equipment in the event of an arc flash.
Technical Specifications

IEM Paralleling Switchgear and Control Systems are designed and manufactured to deliver full control of custom-configured power generation systems. They integrate all facets of metering, protection, communication and controls to deliver peak performance, system reliability and operating economy.
IEM’s experience with generators and voltage regulators from all major North American manufacturers, governor systems for prime movers, and proprietary engine controllers results in efficient and innovative parallel switchgear designs for redundant power applications.
• Prime Power – where generators are the only source or main source of power
as in island-mode, marine, remote site or military type applications.
• Standby – where the generators serve as back-up to the main (utility) source,
commonly installed in hospitals, airport, data centers, waste-water/water
treatment facilities, including most life-safety institutional applications.
• Distributed Generation Systems – where generators are applied to supplement
the main source (as in peak shave applications) and may also act as the
standby system as well.

• Load priority control where loads are applied from a pre-determined
sequence, highest to lowest priority, based on system capacity and
characteristics.
• Generator operational control where only the pre-determined number of
generators are asked to start and carry load, either in a scramble or preset
start-sequence.
• Operator interface touch-screen terminals (OIT)/Human Machine Interface
(HMI) where system controls and interrogation can be accomplished at the
switchgear or from a remote network/PC/PLC.
• Remote communications in the most common industry protocols like
modbus/canbus and being fully conversant with industry leading
Ethernet/interface modules, comm-ports and RS 485 type connections.
• Utility paralleling system designs in passive closed transition (waiting for the
sources to become synchronized in voltage, frequency and phase angle), active
closed transition (where synchronization is dynamically controlled), soft load or
continuous base loading systems.
Fully rated bus is based on density ratings, not UL heat rise tests, resulting in more bus and lower operating temperatures.

IEM’s Unit Substations can utilize any configuration up to 27kV. They are designed and assembled to accommodate any commercially available transformer for either indoor or outdoor applications.
IEM Unit Substation
• Primary – Air terminal chamber, vacuum circuit breaker or load interrupter
switch to 27kV
• Transformer – Any commercially available transformer
• Secondary – Circuit breaker or fusible switches, UL 891, UL 1558, or CSA
switchgear
• Maximum flexibility with wide range of components and ratings to meet
application specifics
• Indoor or Outdoor assemblies/construction
• Configures to any transformer manufacturer available
• Comprehensive substation composite layout drawings.
• Superior flexibility options including increased utilization of space
• Improved voltage regulation and lowered power losses
• Complete coordination of substation components ensures precise fit
• Minimizes the use of secondary distribution cables and busway
IEM Difference
Fully rated bus is based on density ratings, not UL heat rise tests, resulting in more bus and lower operating temperatures.
All enclosures are designed for specific application with improved dimensional flexibility and finished using state of the art powder coating system providing an indoor finish that exceeds the 1500 hour salt spray testing requirement for outdoor equipment to 3000 hours.
Component and metering selections are based on value engineering for the application and optimized to meet specifications.
