Federal Pacific offers PLD Pad-Mounted Switchgear to provide an additional switchgear equipment choice for implementing underground distribution systems. The PLD units offer the application flexibility and operating convenience of both live-front and dead- front pad-mounted switchgear. Application flexibility is achieved by providing the PLD units in the most popular circuit configurations. Operating convenience is achieved by developing a design that combines the most desirable features for terminating cable, switching and protecting main and load feeders and insuring optimum security for personnel; hence, the acronym PLD – Pad-Mounted Live-Front, Dead-Front.

Federal Pacific Type FTDF Pad-Mounted Switchgear offers dead-front load-break elbow switching of radial and loop feed systems with fuse protection on laterals and taps. FTDFs are available in 15 kV and 25 kV voltage class, single and three-phase with either general-purpose type current-limiting or expulsion-type power fuses. The basic enclosure has been designed to present the lowest possible silhouette, yet maintaining ample operating and electrical clearances. An all-welded 11-gauge steel construction provides additional strength and rigidity to the housing. Doors have flush handle with padlocking provisions and a separate penta-head security bolt operates with a three-point latching system. Ventilation louvers are of baffle and screen construction that allows air to circulate and prevents the insertion of wire or other foreign material. These standard features, along with a rugged tamper-resistant design provide a unit that meets the stringent security requirements of ANSI C57.12.28.
