Intermediate voltage, complete coverage.

The MCM-iV Base has been developed by MCM to implement the “intermadiate Voltage (iV)” System described in the previous subsection. It comes with one or two breaker panels inside ready to connect homeruns, at 600V or 480V single-phase, to feed the homes via a small (epoxy) transformer (supplied and isntalled by others) near the home meters to produce the required 120/240V. The MCM-iV Base comes either as a joint power and telecom pedestal (or JDP) (see MCM Base above) or as a power-dedicated base in which both sides are reserved for power connections or network components for smart metering or/and smart grid systems (not included).



  1. Lamp post of your choice up to 30 ft (not included)

  2. Other half : Telecom connections (Copper/Coax/Optical fiber)

  3. Transition section : Street lighting controls and other municipal systems (optional)

  4. Smart metering (optional)

  5. Breaker Pannel: Power connections for up to 12 units (4 x 3)

  6. Cast aluminium bumpers

Here are the principal characteristics of the MCM-iV Base:

Models : i2S2 Series

  • System based on the local use of 3-phase normalized voltages; 
  • Energy and telecom connections for 6 to 12 homes or units; 
  • Allows for the elimination of multiple pedestals and handholes; 
  • Also permits to eliminate front lawn pad-mount transformers; 
  • Further improves the visual appearance of homes and neighborhood; 
  • A non-invasive technique for burying existing overhead lines; 
  • More economical than the conventional method for undergrounding; 
  • Structural steel cabinet subdivided and accessible on 360˚; 
  • Ideally suited for high speed optical fibre telecom networks; 
  • With an optimized Sub-base to facilitate installation of U/G conduits; 
  • Compatible with all types of lamp posts, up to 30 ft high (not included); 
  • And with all of the basic features of the MCM Cabinets (see MCM Base).

The MCM iV Base configuration pattern is i2S2.
  • i : intermediate voltage (iV)
  • : Smart grid or other Energy
