    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.

    • Application tool training and connector

    installation certification program

    • Proper sizing of cable to connector

    • UL certification of metric cable

    with UL Listed connectors

    • Unique connector configurator

    • Tool purchasing and leasing/rental programs

    • Tool service, repair and loaners

    • Evaluation of optimum power pole size and

    span length for lowest total installed cost

    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.
