The Cutler-Hammer Integrated Facility System™ (IFS) for Remote Power Panels (RPP) in data centers is the latest innovation for electrical distribution from Eaton Corporation. This unique solution integrates Cutler-Hammer distribution equipment into one-space-saving structure while maintaining or expanding the available wiring space. Options include Branch Circuit Monitoring (BCM), stand-offs for data center raised floor applications, and door-in-door construction for easy access by authorized personnel.
4 Times the Reduction

IFS has the ability to combine distribution switchboards, dry-type distribution transformers and panelboards into a single, factory pre-wired system that:

- Reduces installation time
- Reduces installation space
- Reduces overall installed costs
- Reduces the number of pieces of equipment to handle

Reduced Installation:
With IFS there are no panelboard cans to mount, and no conduit or wiring to run between panels and transformers. All connections are made at an Eaton facility. Everything comes pre-assembled at the factory to reduce total cycle time, from the feeder devices to the transformer to the panelboards.

Reduced Space:
The IFS is leading the way by creating a new, more compact electrical room layout. By dramatically reducing the space required for the electrical distribution equipment, owners gain valuable square footage while decreasing costs.

Reduced Overall Installed Cost:

By reducing installation time and material handling, along with the reduction or elimination of interconnecting conduit, wire, trough, and fittings, it's no wonder why installation costs are significantly reduced.

Reduced On-Site Material Handling:

Typically, on-site electrical equipment handling consumes large amounts of time. Many jobs will have various pieces of distribution equipment all headed to the same general area of the electrical room. Traditional panelboard construction consists of three pieces: a back box, interior chassis, and trim. Multiplied by the number of panels in the electrical room, and add the distribution switchboards and transformers, the time adds up.

Along with product handling, the shipment verification process (counting and confirming product pieces) can also take up valuable time. The IFS comes pre-configured, reducing the number of pieces, in many cases, to just one or two.

Save Energy:
By incorporating Cutler-Hammer Smart Breaker™ technology into Pow-R-Command™ lighting control products, the IFS provides a high-performance controller that can be used in all major lighting areas. Reliable load control is achieved by integrating the contactor function directly into the circuit breaker - these features make the IFS easier to use and maintain.

Standards and Codes:
Each Integrated Facility System is designed, engineered, and manufactured to meet all standards and codes.
