Powell Industries bought GE's medium-voltage ANSI switchgear product line in August 2006 and now builds all Power/Vac switchgear and breakers at its Houston factory, under a supply alliance with GE's sales channel. That means a Power/Vac lineup can carry a GE or Powell label depending on its build date. Powell now offers on-board racking on all Power/Vac breakers.
