0-7400A Type-Test LV Distribution Systems according to IEC60439-1

0-7400A Type-Test LV Distribution Systems according to IEC60439-1

The SIVACON S8 low voltage panels are now offered in the marketplace with the new additions being installed on the back of the main busbar. SIVACON provides the highest degree of flexibility for the economical solutions of industrial and building sector infrastructures. The SIVACON S8 cabinet system is equipped with detailed standard modules for type-tested cabinet and control unit standards, including all the defining features of modern low-voltage control systems, with variable maintenance system with maintenance-free cabinet connection and error arc protection. This series is also available to all partners worldwide and is suitable for all applications up to 3200 A. The SIVACON 8PT product range can be equipped with socket and drawer circuit breakers suitable for fixed and plug-in mounting techniques. The modular product concept offers a variety of options for installation. This board system provides high level of operation and personnel safety with integrated and tested fault arc protection. Thanks to its modular widths and compact design starting from 400 mm, it is placed in the most optimized mode on the intended installation site, thus providing a wide range of advantages in the planning of the power distribution system and in field installations.

Multi-Purpose Low Voltage Flange: SIVACON® Economics, needs-oriented design and type testing (TTA)

Multi-Purpose Low Voltage Flange: SIVACON® Economics, needs-oriented design and type testing (TTA); these are the defining characteristics of Siemens’ new low voltage panels. With its fixed-mount, plug-in or drawer design, SIVACON® is suitable for use in all power levels ranging from power centers to main, secondary distribution panels and engine control centers with the main busbar current of 7400 A and the short-circuit resistance of the main busbar of 375 kA. Type tests are a key criterion with an increasing emphasis on the field of low voltage technology. This is inevitably a procedure that is practiced everywhere in the world. But how often does the type test need to be done? It is known that such tests are not repeated frequently. Now the type tests in SIVACON are periodic.
