THE PACS SWITCHGEAR STORY
PACS Industries, Inc., has manufactured metalclad switchgear since 1972. Circuit breaker elements, protective relays and other components for inclusion into PACS Metalclad Switchgear may be manufactured by companies such as ABB, G.E., Siemens, Square D/Merlin Gerin, A.E.G., GEC-Alsthom and others.

The heart of PACS metalclad switchgear assemblies are the circuit breakers. Through 15kv, PACS purchases standard production models of circuit breakers and circuit breaker "skeletons". The stationary portion of the "skeleton" is jig-assembled and tested as is the drawout circuit breaker element.

Above the 25Kv level (and where else necessary), PACS purchases Vacuum or SF6 circuit breaker interrupter-assemblies, which we manufacture into our own ANSI and I.E.C. tested, drawout trucks, cubicles and switchgear.

The PACS manufacturing process consists in its simplest form, of assembling "skeletons" into specified switchgear lineups, manufacturing front and rear sheet-metal compartments, busing power circuits, fabricating required weatherproof housings and completing whatever else is required to fulfill PACS' contractual obligations. The completed equipment then goes through a quality control and specification conformance procedure, is ANSI or IEC production tested and shipped.

PACS switchgear may be designed for generator switchgear, feeder units, bus-tie units, or for whatever standard or special applications may be required. Single and double bus bar systems are standard. The latest microprocessor relays are available.
