Contactor
For motor starters, transformers and capacitor banks, the Power
XpertTM UX system is available with vacuum contactor trucks.
Contactors for 3.6 or 7.2 kV can be mounted on a truck together
with fuses, and voltage transformers. Surge arresters can also be
mounted at the cable terminals. For motor control applications up
to 7.2 kV, Power XpertTM UX incorporates the Eaton range of SL
contactors. For motor starters at 12 kV please contact Eaton.

• Capacitor switching up to 295 amps at 6.6 kV
• Maximum interruption current of 8.5 kA
• Fuse protected up to 50 kA
• Electronic coil control for optimum control of the coil voltage
and reduced watts loss means more efficient use of power
and lower heat generation
• Electronic coil control allows for field selectable control
voltages and drop out times

Open and Normally Closed configurations
• Mechanical latch option is available with electrical unlatchsignal.
• Long life with up to 1 million electrical operations and
2.5 million mechanical operations with no maintenance or
adjustment required
Earth switch
All panels can be equipped with a cable earthing switch. The earth
switch is mechanically interlocked with the circuit breaker so that
the earth switch can only be operated when the circuit breaker is
open, and withdrawn to the 'Disconnected/Test' position.
Features
• Fully fault-rated earth switch
• Operated from the front of the panel
• Auxiliary contacts for service/earthed positions
• Mechanical position indicators
• Mechanically and/or electrically interlocked with the vacuum
circuit breaker

Safe and reliable in use
Proven experience and knowledge gained by Eaton over
many years in the areas of cast-resin technology, vacuum
technology, arc interruption and electrical field control have
been integrated in the design and development of Power
XpertTM UX - ensuring that the switchgear is safe and has
high operational reliability throughout its lifetime.

Safety interlocks
For personnel safety Power XpertTM UX is
designed with a number of comprehensive
mechanical interlocks to prevent unsafe
operation.
• It is not possible to rack-in or rack-out a circuit
breakerunless it is in the Off or Openposition.
• It is not possible to close a circuit breaker
unless the circuit breaker is in the Connected
or Test position.
• The secondary socket can only be
disconnected with the circuit breaker in the
test position.
• Closing the circuit breakeris only possible with
the secondary contacts connected.
• It is not possible to close the earth switch
when the circuit breaker is in the Connected
position.
• The door of the vacuumcircuit breaker

Low total cost of
ownership
Designed to provide at least 30 years of reliable service
the Power XpertTM UX design guarantees low overall cost
of ownership when considered over the lifetime of the
switchgear.
Life-time costs can be split into initial costs, costs incurred during
service and finally, costs for disposal of the switchgear. All costs
of ownership are influenced by different features of the
switchgear provided with no concession to quality and reliability.
14
Flexibility in design
Every application of this
type of system is unique,
so Eaton offers a wide
range of different panel
types and field versions.
If, in due course, additional
capacity in the form of more
panels is required, Power
XpertTM UX can easily be
extended to the right or left with
only minimal disruption to the

busbars.
