PROJECT SPOTLIGHT 💡 ⚡️ [Custom 3000A Switchboard Built for Critical Correctional Facility Infrastructure]
American Midwest Power recently completed the manufacturing of a custom switchboard assembly for a women’s correctional facility in North Dakota. Designed for reliability, safety, and long-term performance, this project showcases AMP’s ability to deliver complex power distribution solutions tailored to demanding facility requirements.

This build features a robust 3000A 3 phase LSIG main breaker with ARMS technology, paired with a 3000A Automatic Transfer Switch equipped with a status relay, normal/emergency reversed configuration, parallel condition alarm, and lockout relay functionality. Additional protection and distribution components include a 250kA surge protective device, a 600A 3 phase LSI breaker, and a 400A 3 phase LSI breaker, along with several other integrated system features to support dependable operation.

The completed switchboard was finished in ASA 61 gray and built to a NEMA 1 rating, providing a clean, durable indoor enclosure suited for the application environment. From engineering through manufacturing, this project reflects AMP’s commitment to delivering high-quality power solutions built to meet critical infrastructure demands.

📰Article Spotlight - [Compact Footprint, Maximum Capability]

American Midwest Power designed a compact cube solution to address a customer’s limited pad space while maintaining full system performance and accessibility. By vertically integrating key components into a single footprint, AMP created an efficient, space-saving power distribution system featuring a 2000A service disconnect with an automatic transfer switch (ATS), a 2000A utility CT compartment, and multiple protective breakers for reliable and flexible power distribution. The cube design not only reduces the overall footprint but also simplifies installation through shorter conduit runs, easier cable management, and reduced field assembly, making it an ideal solution for space-constrained applications.

American Midwest Power’s cube design reflects a practical response to a common real-world constraint: limited pad space. In this case, the customer’s site could not accommodate a traditional, spread-out electrical lineup, so AMP engineered a compact, vertically integrated solution that consolida...

Jordan-Hare Stadium stands as one of college football’s most iconic venues, home to Auburn University and the electric atmosphere of SEC game days. With a seating capacity exceeding 87,000, the stadium is not just a sports venue—it’s a fully integrated broadcast environment that supports national media coverage at the highest level.

Behind the scenes, delivering those broadcasts requires robust, reliable infrastructure. That’s where AMP played a critical role by providing a custom TVRP (Temporary Video Rack Power) cabinet system tailored specifically for live sports media operations.

The TVRP cabinet supplied by AMP was engineered to meet the demanding requirements of broadcast crews, ensuring uninterrupted power distribution for cameras, replay systems, production trucks, and on-site control rooms. At its core, the cabinet featured heavy-duty server rack rails, allowing flexible mounting of broadcast equipment.

To enhance usability, the cabinet incorporated camlock connectors—an industry standard for quick, secure, and high-capacity electrical connections. These camlocks enabled rapid setup and teardown, which is essential in a stadium environment where time and reliability are critical.

Power distribution within the unit was anchored by a 1200A main LSI (Long-Time, Short-Time, Instantaneous) breaker equipped with extended arms. This high-capacity breaker provided precise control over power delivery and protection, safeguarding sensitive broadcast equipment from overloads and faults. The inclusion of LSI functionality ensured adjustable trip settings, allowing engineers to fine-tune protection parameters based on varying load conditions during live events.

Complementing the electrical infrastructure, an integrated air conditioning unit was installed within the TVRP cabinet enclosure to maintain optimal operating temperatures for sensitive broadcast and server equipment. High-density electronics—such as video processors, routing systems, and storage arrays—generate significant heat under continuous use, especially during long game-day productions. The dedicated AC unit was designed to provide consistent, controlled cooling, typically maintaining internal temperatures within recommended ranges for IT and broadcast hardware.

In addition to performance and efficiency, the project also highlights AMP's customization capabilities. This TVRP cabinet was finished in a custom bronze matte color at the customer’s request, demonstrating that utility-grade equipment does not have to sacrifice visual appeal. This tailored finish allows the system to better blend with its surroundings or meet architectural preferences, adding an aesthetic dimension to what is traditionally purely functional infrastructure. It’s a clear example of how AMP can deliver both manufacturing and design flexibility to meet unique project requirements.

At AMP, every detail matters. Just like every stitch matters in the making of something legendary. For the upgraded Jordan-Hare Stadium at Auburn University, customization wasn’t optional — it was expected. From the custom bronze matte TVRP finish… to 15A rack-mounted power strips designed for safer maintenance at the push of a button… every feature was built with purpose.
