TRADITION. TECHNOLOGY. INNOVATION.

IEM pioneered the use of fully integrated CAD and manufacturing systems, beginning in 1979 with the first CAD/CAM system for electrical equipment metal fabrication.

66

TRADITION. TECHNOLOGY. INNOVATION.

IEM developed the medium voltage vacuum breaker in the 1980’s, pioneered the use of breakers on 21kV systems, and was the first to design a 3000A free standing breaker for utilities.
