for Wind Power Generation
The Brands You Knowand TrustThomas & Betts offers end-to-end
solutions for wind power. Our brands
are widely recognized in the industry
for quality, reliability and innovation.

End-to-End Solutions for Wind Power
The vision of Thomas & Betts for serving the wind power
industry can be stated quite simply: We want to be the brand
of choice for engineers and developers who design and build
wind farms.
To realize our vision, we focus on the three aspects of our
business that drive our success: quality, innovation and service.
Our ongoing efforts in these areas revolve around and feed our
market-leading product brands and customer-focused culture. In addition, we continue to
pursue initiatives that support our goals for growth and increased productivity through supply-
chain optimization, technological superiority and organizational capacity.
Creating Exceptional ValueTo create exceptional value for our wind power customers, Thomas & Betts has developed a
market-focused culture that defines every area of our business. It begins with putting the right
people in the right positions, providing industry-leading products and making it easier — and
more profitable — to do business with Thomas & Betts.
QualityAs one of the leading manufacturers in the industry, we provide
the products you need to connect and protect wind farms and
their power distribution systems. Count on Thomas & Betts to
be your one-stop source for high-quality, dependable products
that provide long-term, low-maintenance, reliable service.
Our Products Work for You — and So Do Our PeopleThomas & Betts engineers and technical specialists are with you every step of the way, ready to provide
both phone and field support before, during and after the installation of your wind power project. Some
of the many support services available to you include:
InnovationMany Thomas & Betts products save time and money or solve
special challenges for customers in a variety of industries,
including wind power generation. For example, our engineers
developed Color-Keyed® Narrow-Tongue Lugs to minimize
space usage in industrial control panels. We then adapted
them for custom solutions for the wind power industry.
Because these lugs maintain a consistent narrow width from barrel to tongue and fit anywhere
the cable fits, cables can be pre-terminated and ready for installation when you need them
instead of requiring field termination after the cables have been installed in the tower.
Other Thomas & Betts products developed or adapted specifically for wind power applications
include our 38kV Hi-Tech® Trans-Guard® OS Shorty Backup Fuse, specifically designed to
protect padmount transformers used on wind farms from faults as high as 50kA. Likewise,
our compact 38kV/25kA Elastimold® MVI Molded Vacuum Interrupter was developed as an
environmentally friendly, maintenance-free switchgear package that fits through a wind tower
door, offering more flexibility in construction
sequencing during tower erection.
ServiceThomas & Betts employs a full staff of
experienced mechanical and electrical
engineers in world-class R&D facilities
who work closely with our customers
to develop innovative solutions to their
unique product needs.
Our commitment doesn’t end with the sale.
We offer field technical support, hands-on
demonstrations, training and onsite trouble-
shooting assistance if needed.

Solutions for Wind Power Generation
Delivering Innovativeand Reliable Solutions
for Wind Power Generation
The Brands You Knowand TrustThomas & Betts offers end-to-end
solutions for wind power. Our brands
are widely recognized in the industry
for quality, reliability and innovation.
Cyberex ®
End-to-End Solutions for Wind Power
The vision of Thomas & Betts for serving the wind power
industry can be stated quite simply: We want to be the brand
of choice for engineers and developers who design and build
wind farms.
To realize our vision, we focus on the three aspects of our
business that drive our success: quality, innovation and service.
Our ongoing efforts in these areas revolve around and feed our
market-leading product brands and customer-focused culture. In addition, we continue to
pursue initiatives that support our goals for growth and increased productivity through supply-
chain optimization, technological superiority and organizational capacity.
Creating Exceptional ValueTo create exceptional value for our wind power customers, Thomas & Betts has developed a
market-focused culture that defines every area of our business. It begins with putting the right
people in the right positions, providing industry-leading products and making it easier — and
more profitable — to do business with Thomas & Betts.
QualityAs one of the leading manufacturers in the industry, we provide
the products you need to connect and protect wind farms and
their power distribution systems. Count on Thomas & Betts to
be your one-stop source for high-quality, dependable products
that provide long-term, low-maintenance, reliable service.
Our Products Work for You — and So Do Our PeopleThomas & Betts engineers and technical specialists are with you every step of the way, ready to provide
both phone and field support before, during and after the installation of your wind power project. Some
of the many support services available to you include:
InnovationMany Thomas & Betts products save time and money or solve
special challenges for customers in a variety of industries,
including wind power generation. For example, our engineers
developed Color-Keyed® Narrow-Tongue Lugs to minimize
space usage in industrial control panels. We then adapted
them for custom solutions for the wind power industry.
Because these lugs maintain a consistent narrow width from barrel to tongue and fit anywhere
the cable fits, cables can be pre-terminated and ready for installation when you need them
instead of requiring field termination after the cables have been installed in the tower.
Other Thomas & Betts products developed or adapted specifically for wind power applications
include our 38kV Hi-Tech® Trans-Guard® OS Shorty Backup Fuse, specifically designed to
protect padmount transformers used on wind farms from faults as high as 50kA. Likewise,
our compact 38kV/25kA Elastimold® MVI Molded Vacuum Interrupter was developed as an
environmentally friendly, maintenance-free switchgear package that fits through a wind tower
door, offering more flexibility in construction
sequencing during tower erection.
ServiceThomas & Betts employs a full staff of
experienced mechanical and electrical
engineers in world-class R&D facilities
who work closely with our customers
to develop innovative solutions to their
unique product needs.
Our commitment doesn’t end with the sale.
We offer field technical support, hands-on
demonstrations, training and onsite trouble-
shooting assistance if needed.
