Power Control Assembly

When transforming power into energy we can use is critical, safety must come first. Electrical systems require protective monitoring and communication equipment for the expensive and elaborate devices used in switch yards and distribution substations as well as the people maintaining and operating it.

Power Control Enclosure

Benefits of Power Control Assemblies from Crown Technical Systems:

  • Substantial improvement of overall schedule
  • Overall cost of PCA substantially lower than brick and mortar
  • Factory environment for assembly of PCA makes for flexible solutions
  • PCA comes fully packaged — only field cables are to be connected
  • PCA unloading and placement on pad in less than four (4) hours

We offer a fully integrated and tested solution to any Power Control Assembly project. Count on Crown to deliver that control.
