Instructions for the installation and
Section 1: Introduction
1.1. Purpose
This instruction bulletin covers the installation and commissioning
of a Power Xpert IGX compact switchgear assembly. It is not
encompassing of all possible contingencies, variations, and details
that may arise during installation of this equipment.
1.2. Application and description
Eaton’s Power Xpert IGX compact switchgear provides centralized
control and protection of medium-voltage power equipment and
circuits in industrial, commercial and utility installations involving
generators, motors, feeder circuits, and transmission and distribution
lines. Eaton’s Power Xpert IGX compact switchgear is an integrated
assembly of switches, bus and vacuum circuit breakers. All
structures use single-high breaker arrangements.
Power Xpert IGX uses an isolated-phase design for medium-voltage
components, where all major primary circuit components within
each phase are isolated from each other by grounded metal barriers.
An isolated phase design minimizes the likelihood of arcing faults
and propagation of faults between compartments containing primary
circuit components.
1.3. Documentation reference
Refer to the customer drawing package for order specific
information. For further information on installation and application,
refer to the applicable technical data, publications, and/or industry
standards. Download Eaton electronic information from
