What Mega Power Systems does

Mega Power Systems is a Chino, California-based manufacturer founded in 2005 that designs and sells Universal Test Switches (UTS1, UTS3, UTS14) and complementary test plugs and mounting equipment for the electric utility industry. The company was established as a certified minority and woman owned business and remains privately held under President Sarah Siddiqui, with 1-10 employees and no disclosed outside funding. The core product platform centers on interchangeable, UL/cUL-recognized test switches (since 2010) and ISO 9001-conformant manufacturing, with the UTS14 backed by a 15-year warranty - the longest in the industry. Supporting products include the HVTP series of integrated horizontal/vertical test plugs (industry-first), the UTP-10 universal test plug, and the Universal Strut Rack for 19-inch equipment mounting.

The company's go-to-market is a hybrid of an online configurator-driven self-service channel (enabling part number cross-referencing and RFQ submission) and a network of five exclusive regional sales representatives covering all US regions and Canadian provinces. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time hardware sales at quote-based pricing, with the company claiming up to 55% cost savings versus competitor parts and lead times as short as 48 hours from its on-site warehouse. Primary customers are electric utilities, with Hydro One Networks Inc. as the marquee named enterprise account (3-year contract awarded in 2012). Secondary segments include telecommunications and process control industries, served primarily through the Universal Strut Rack and HVTP test plug lines.

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• ABB: ABB is one of the largest global manufacturers of switchgear, protection relays, and substation components, with deep utility customer relationships. ABB's protection-and-control portfolio bundles test switches into broader substation offerings that compete with MPS at the panel level even though MPS is more specialized.
• Eaton: Eaton manufactures a broad range of electrical components including switchgear, panelboards, and power management products for utilities. Its Cooper Power Systems and Crouse-Hinds lines include test switches that compete with MPS offerings, often bundled with Eaton's protection relays.
• Hubbell Incorporated: Hubbell manufactures electrical products including utility-grade switches, connectors, and enclosures. While broader than MPS, Hubbell's electrical products division supplies comparable utility customers with switch and panel components that touch the same procurement budgets.
• GE Grid Solutions (GE Vernova): GE Vernova's Grid Solutions business provides switchgear, protection relays, and substation automation to global utilities. Its utility-grade test switches and metering/protection accessories directly overlap MPS's target use case within larger integrated substation projects.
• Siemens: Siemens is a major global supplier of switchgear, protection, and substation equipment for utilities and industry. Its switchgear portfolio includes test switch components that are specified alongside its protection relays, putting it in indirect competition with MPS in utility procurement decisions.
• Schneider Electric: Schneider Electric is a global leader in electrical distribution, switchgear, and power management serving utilities and industrial customers. Its switchgear and metering product families include test-switch offerings that compete with MPS, typically as part of integrated protection-panel solutions.

Emerging players

• Beckwith Electric: Beckwith Electric designs protection, control, and metering products specifically for utility applications and is frequently specified alongside test switches in substation panels. It is a smaller, niche-focused peer that competes for similar utility-customer relationships but in adjacent product categories.
• Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories (SEL): SEL is a leading manufacturer of protection relays, automation, and metering products for electric utilities. While SEL does not focus on test switches, its protection panels often include test switch sockets specified around SEL relays, making it an ecosystem peer that influences utility test-switch procurement decisions.

Direct peers

• Mors Smitt (Wabtec): Mors Smitt manufactures test switches, relays, and related components for rail and utility signaling/protection markets. Their utility test-switch line competes head-to-head with the MPS UTS family for the same IEC/IEEE-spec test-switch sockets in protection panels.
• ElectroSwitch Corporation: ElectroSwitch is a long-established manufacturer of electrical switches and test switches specifically for the electric utility market. It is the closest direct competitor to MPS, selling comparable pole-form-factor test switches into the same utility substation and panel applications.
