Project Brief / Praxair  (downloadable PDF)



Electrical equipment that met international standards.





Think globally, not locally.

Praxair, the largest industrial-gases company in North and South America, was building an air-compression station for a Sidor steel-processing plant in Venezuela. The electrical equipment had to meet International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standards. These standards are used throughout the world, but the material needed to be procured in the United States.

Praxair turned to Point Eight Power because it was one of the few U.S. manufacturers that could provide IEC equipment, eliminating the extra cost of importing material from overseas vendors.

Recognizing the emergence of IEC opportunities within the United States and the added benefit an IEC offering could present for domestically based clients, Point Eight partnered with Schneider Electric in to build OKKEN, an IEC low-voltage distribution system. The Praxair project allowed Point Eight to use this offering for the client’s needs, adding low-voltage IEC MCCs to Point Eight’s success stories.

Working with a tight production and delivery schedule of 14 weeks, Point Eight supplied 13 vertical sections of IEC MCCs. The project included 850 hours of engineering design time and a seven-week production/fabrication time frame.
