Integrated Power and Control Solutions (IPaCSTM) Equipment Overview

The Square D® family of integrated equipment combines electrical distribution equipment, building controls and automation into a single factory-assembled and pre-wired enclosure. Our innovative, cost-effective, integrated solutions save valuable floor space, shorten construction cycle times and reduce installation and material handling costs.

Integrated lineups are tailored to customer specifications and can be customized to include third party components, such as building management automation and controls.

Modular Panelboard System (MPS)

Pre-Engineered Solution

The Modular Panelboard System is tailored to customer specifications and may include panels, transformers and lighting control. An MPS is applicable when third-party building control systems are not required. Special interiors are available such as column width and Powerlink®. Options may include power and control cable wiring, contactors, terminal blocks, TVSS and equipment space. MPS sections are 86 in. (2184 mm) high x 9.5 in. (241 mm) deep. Widths vary depending upon customer specifications.

Integrated Power Center (IPC)

Custom-Designed Solution

For more complex designs, the Integrated Power Center allows for the integration of a variety of controls, including electrical distribution equipment, HVAC controls, lighting controls, power quality and power conditioning products, surge suppression and building management systems. As with all integrated solutions, they meet applicable codes and standards and are shipped to the site fully-assembled, completely pre-tested and ready to install. IPC sections are 84 in. (2134 mm) high x 10.25 in. (260 mm) deep. Widths vary depending upon customer specifications.

Integrated Power Center 2 (IPC2™)

The newest addition to the family of integrated solutions, the Integrated Power Center 2 (IPC2™) provides maximum flexibility to meet customers’ specifications. Features include those found in the IPC and are provided in a free-standing enclosure that can be front and rear aligned when transformers are included. Enclosure options include NEMA 1, NEMA 1 with driphood and NEMA 3R.

IPC2 Transformer Combo

Ideally suited for projects having both 480Y/277 V and 208Y/120 V requirements. Available as a standalone solution or can be incorporated into an MPS, IPC or IPC2 line-up. The 42 in. (1067 mm) wide x 24 in. (610 mm) deep footprint will decrease space requirements by 40% or more.

Additional savings are realized on installation, material costs and material handling, shown in the table below.
