What Erickson Electrical Equipment does

Erickson Electrical Equipment Co. is a privately held US manufacturer of commercial utility metering and electrical distribution equipment, founded in 1932 and headquartered at 475 Bonnie Lane, Elk Grove Village, Illinois. Its product portfolio centers on Type CM Group Metering modular systems offered in 240V and 480V configurations, comprising configurable main devices (termination boxes rated 400A-2000A), self-contained meter stacks, combination CT sections with disconnects (400-800A), and bussed spacers/corner elbows. The line is complemented by UL-listed current transformer cabinets (400A-4000A in wall-mount and pad-mount variants), ground detectors for ungrounded electrical systems (Models XVAP and WPXVAP in Nema 1 and Nema 3R), aluminum service heads, underground service raceway, termination boxes, and utility pole mounting brackets. The company holds claimed industry-first UL listings including metering rated to 200,000 amp interrupting rating at 480V, and emphasizes rigorous quality controls, skilled union craftsmanship, and short lead times for special orders.

The company sells primarily through a network of five regional representative agencies covering Illinois, Wisconsin, Ohio, Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, New Mexico, Texas, and Wyoming, with direct factory sales ([email protected]) available for customers outside these territories. Its three primary customer segments are electrical contractors, electrical supply houses, and consulting engineers, all served in a horizontal B2B specification model where products are designed into commercial electrical projects.

Broad incumbents

• Eaton: Global manufacturer of electrical distribution and metering equipment including switchgear, panelboards, and metering switchboards. Competes with Erickson in commercial metering switchboards but offers a much broader portfolio and national account coverage.
• ABB: Manufactures electrical distribution and metering products including panelboards, switchgear, and metering components — competing with Erickson in commercial service entrance applications and offering global scale and digital metering capability.
• Schneider Electric (Square D): Through Square D and Schneider brands, manufactures commercial metering switchboards, panelboards, and CT cabinets that compete directly with Erickson's products, while also offering national-account scale and digital metering solutions.
• Siemens: Major manufacturer of switchgear, panelboards, and electrical distribution equipment used in commercial service entrance and metering applications — overlapping with Erickson at the switchboard/metering product layer but at much greater scale.

Direct peers

• Leviton Manufacturing: Manufactures commercial metering products, submetering systems, and electrical distribution components that overlap with Erickson's commercial metering focus, including products for electrical contractors and supply houses.
• Milbank Manufacturing: Manufactures CT cabinets, meter sockets, termination enclosures, and modular commercial metering equipment — a direct product-line overlap with Erickson's core offerings, serving the same electrical-contractor and utility-metering channel.
• Electro Industries/GaugeTech (EIG): Specializes in electrical power metering, monitoring, and metering switchboards for commercial and industrial applications — overlapping with Erickson's metering switchboard and panelboard business while also serving the more advanced digital metering segment.
• E-Mon (a brand of Honeywell): Manufactures commercial submetering products and CT cabinets for electrical contractors and building owners, directly competing with Erickson's modular commercial metering line.

Emerging players

• DENT Instruments: Manufactures power measurement and metering products including current transformers and metering accessories. While smaller and more focused on digital/clamp-on CTs, it overlaps with Erickson in the current-transformer and metering accessory category.
• Continental Control Systems: Specializes in revenue-grade submetering, CTs, and power metering products — a partial overlap with Erickson focused on the digital/submetering end of the commercial metering market.
