Something good just got even better

Something good just got even better
Eaton proudly introduces the new AMPGARDT medium voltage motor control center with even more user-friendly features and capabilities you have come to expect from Eaton’s medium voltage control product offering. Highly innovative, its enhanced design configuration allows for easiermaintenance, accessibility and safety you can depend on. Eaton has been the industry leader in medium voltage control for over 30 years. When it comes to protecting and controlling medium voltage motors, AMPGARD is the premier and cost-effective solution.

Starter Lineups Can include 400A and 800A starters with top-mounted main bus.

The AMPGARD advantage
New features include:
• •Larger conduit area that easily accommodates two 500 kcmil cables per phase in each 400A starter Isolated cable entry for added safety. The starters and cables are completely isolated from each other by steel barriers All new low voltage wireway. Low voltage wire is isolated from the medium voltage compartment, and customer terminal blocks are accessible through the low voltage control panel
•Easily accessible low voltage panel completely isolated from the medium voltage compartment that offers generous mounting space Standard viewing window for visual verification of isolation switch operation The instrument door size increased 25%, offering a bigger mounting area to accommodate large relays Increased isolation switch life—5000 operations Compliance with both NEMAT/ANSI and IECstandards for medium voltage motor control

More features and dependability
The AMPGARD’s lighter weight contactor makes it easier to handle and maintain. The AMPGARD SL Contactor offers the highest short-circuit ratings available in the industry at 8500A for the 400A and 13,200A for the 800A. The AMPGARDstarter controls 200–8000 hp motors and offers full coordination between the fuse and the contactor, providing seamless protection. The new enhanced AMPGARD offers advanced protection for the motor and ease of installation. The SL solid-state control board allows field setting of contactor dropout settings for improved contactor/fuse coordination.
