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.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
IEM Switchgear meets seismic testing, circuit
requirements as outlined by IEEE344 and
ICC-ES-AC156.
