The Variable Low-Voltage Switchboard 8PV<br />

Economical, Requirement-Oriented, Type-Tested<br />

<strong>sivacon</strong>


Economical, Requirement-Oriented and Type-Tested:<br />

the SIVACON Variable Low-Voltage Switchboard<br />

Economical, requirement-oriented and<br />

type-tested (TTA) – these are the identifying<br />

features of the new low-voltage switchboard<br />

from Siemens. SIVACON®is suitable for<br />

all power levels: from the power centre<br />

with a rating of 6300 A through main and<br />

subdistribution boards to the motor control<br />

centre, installed either in fixed-mounted,<br />

plug-in or withdrawable unit design.<br />

Modular technology<br />

Every SIVACON assembly<br />

is manufactured exclusively<br />

from standardized and<br />

series-produced modules<br />

oriented to requirements.<br />

All modules are type-tested<br />

and incorporate high quality.<br />

By virtue of a wide range of<br />

possible module combinations,<br />

justice is done to all<br />

stipulations. Adaptations to<br />

new performance demands<br />

can be realized easily and<br />

swiftly by simply replacing<br />

or adding modules. The<br />

advantages of the modular<br />

concept are obvious:<br />

• Type-testing provides proof<br />

of safety and quality for each<br />

installation<br />

• All requirement profiles are<br />

fulfilled with the high quality<br />

of standard production<br />

• Ordering of spares and<br />

additions is easy and<br />

delivery times are short<br />

SIVACON offers<br />

advantages that set<br />

new standards<br />

• Type-tested standard<br />

modules (TTA)<br />

• Space-saving base areas<br />

from only 400 x 400 mm<br />

• High packing density with<br />

up to 40 feeders per cubicle<br />

• Test and disconnected<br />

position with door closed<br />

• Visible isolating gaps and<br />

points of contact<br />

• Standard operator interface<br />

for all withdrawable units<br />

• Solid wall design for safe<br />

cubicle-to-cubicle separation<br />

• Alternative busbar<br />

positioning at top or rear<br />

Circuit-Breaker Design –<br />

Compact, Reliable and User-Friendly<br />

Distribution boards for substantial energy requirements are<br />

generally followed by a number of subdistribution boards<br />

and loads. Particular demands are therefore made in terms<br />

of long-term reliability and safety. That is to say, "supply",<br />

"coupling" and "feeder" functions must be reliably available<br />

over long periods of time. Maintenance and testing must not<br />

involve long standstill times.<br />

SIVACON meets these requirements with circuit-breaker design<br />

components.<br />

Compact and reliable<br />

• High degree of safety by<br />

virtue of type-tested<br />

standard modules (TTA)<br />

• Test and disconnected<br />

position with door closed<br />

• Cubicle dimensions tailored<br />

to circuit-breaker sizes (e.g.<br />

1600 A with 400 mm width<br />

and 3200 A with 600 mm<br />

width)<br />

• For every rated current<br />

range, optimum connection<br />

conditions for cables and<br />

busbars<br />

• Separate function<br />

compartments consisting<br />

of a switching device<br />

compartment, an auxiliary<br />

equipment compartment<br />

and a cable or bar<br />

connection compartment<br />

• High degree of safety for<br />

assembly personnel by<br />

virtue of cubicle separation<br />

on both sides<br />

User-friendly<br />

with Sentron WL<br />

Siemens 3WL non-withdrawable<br />

and withdrawable<br />

circuit-breakers are used for<br />

the rated current range from<br />

630 to 6300 A. This means:<br />

• Free choice of the supply<br />

direction without any<br />

sacrifices in terms of<br />

technical data<br />

• High short-time currentcarrying<br />

capacity for timegraded<br />

short-circuit<br />

protection (up to 400 ms)<br />

assures reliable operation<br />

of sections of the switchboard<br />

not affected by a<br />

short circuit<br />

• Short-circuit protection with<br />

short-time grading control<br />

(zss) for very brief delay<br />

times (50 ms)<br />

• LCD operating current<br />

indication in the control<br />

console (without ammeters<br />

and current transformers)<br />

• Indication and operation<br />

when the door is closed<br />

Withdrawable Unit Design –<br />

Ergonomic, Reliable and Versatile<br />

Whether in power plants, industrial installations<br />

or office complexes, an adequate amount of<br />

energy must be available at the necessary<br />

location and at all times. However, requirements<br />

frequently change. For example, motor power<br />

ratings change or new loads have to be<br />

connected.<br />

SIVACON's withdrawable unit design offers the<br />

required degree of power supply flexibility.<br />

What's more, it was conceived on the basis of<br />

ergonomic criteria. Easy handling and short<br />

conversion times assure high availability of the<br />

system.<br />

Enhanced Safety<br />

The frame side walls are made from one piece<br />

and are connected by means of crossbars to obtain<br />

the dimensionally accurate and sturdy SIVACON<br />

frame.<br />

• All necessary cutouts for<br />

the switchboard are<br />

integrated in the side walls,<br />

ensuring a high degree of<br />

safety by way of only a few<br />

parts<br />

• The use of galvanized<br />

sheets assures long-term<br />

corrosion protection and<br />

absolutely safe earthing<br />

• Powder-coating of the<br />

visible enclosure largely<br />

prevents damage during<br />

transport, assembly and<br />

operation<br />

• Detachable frame and<br />

enclosure parts enable<br />

subsequent assembly of<br />

the horizontal busbars<br />

• Without the need for<br />

additional partitions, the<br />

part-integrating solid wall<br />

design offers safety from<br />

one cubicle to another<br />

• Securing systems enable<br />

subsequent upgrading with<br />

expansion components<br />

• Spring-loaded locks reliably<br />

prevent doors from<br />

springing open<br />

unintentionally. They also<br />

ensure safe pressure<br />

equalization in the event of<br />

an arcing fault<br />

• The switchboard is capable<br />

of withstanding very high<br />

seismic stress<br />

Busbar Systems<br />

Differing switching tasks require individual<br />

realization possibilities. Whether simple systems<br />

or extensive networks with transverse and<br />

longitudinal couplings are involved, SIVACON<br />

offers an economical design of high quality.<br />

Top busbar system<br />

• Top or rear busbar system<br />

• Busbar systems for rated<br />

currents up to 6300 A<br />

• Rated impulse withstand<br />

current (lpk) up to 250 kA<br />

• Local integration of busbars<br />

possible<br />

• Two busbar systems<br />

can be routed within the<br />

switchboard<br />

• Transport unit dividing<br />

points easily accessible<br />

from the front or top<br />

• Device compartment can<br />

be separated from<br />

interconnected busbar<br />

• Busbar connections require<br />

no maintenance<br />

• Busbar systems for corner<br />

installation<br />

• Additional arc barrier<br />

SIVACON is resistant<br />

to internal arcing faults<br />

10<br />

Testing of low voltage switchboards under internal<br />

arcing fault conditions is classified as a special<br />

test in accordance with IEC 61641 or VDE 0660<br />

Part 500, supplement 2.<br />

This test serves to gauge the dangers to which<br />

persons might be exposed in the event of an internal<br />

arcing fault.<br />

By way of the test under internal arcing fault<br />

conditions, SIVACON provides evidence of personnel<br />

safety in terms of the following assessment criteria<br />

as standard:<br />

Arc barrier<br />

Assessment criteria<br />

1. Doors, covers etc. must not<br />

open<br />

2. No parts may fly off<br />

3. No holes may be burnt into<br />

the enclosure<br />

4. Indicators must not ignite<br />

5. The protective conductor<br />

circuit for touchable parts<br />

of the enclosure must still<br />

be in working order<br />

Additional modules for limiting<br />

the effects of the arcing fault<br />

inside the switchboard<br />

• Restriction to one cubicle<br />

(Arc barrier)<br />

• Restriction to the function<br />

compartment or place of<br />

origin<br />

• Insulated main busbars<br />

1Type-Tested Switchgear and<br />

1Controlgear Assembly (TTA)<br />

SIVACON is a type-tested switchgear and<br />

controlgear assembly (TTA) whose physical<br />

characteristics were designed in the test<br />

laboratory both for normal operating conditions<br />

and for fault situations. Conclusive<br />

type tests assure a maximum of reliability<br />

and safety. SIVACON has passed the<br />

following verification tests as detailed in<br />

IEC 60439-1 and DIN EN 60439-1<br />

(VDE 0660 Part 500):<br />

• Verification of temperaturerise<br />

limits by test<br />

• Verification of dielectric<br />

properties by test<br />

• Verification of the shortcircuit<br />

withstand strength<br />

by test<br />

• Verification of the effective<br />

connection between the<br />

exposed conductive parts<br />

of the assembly and the<br />

protective circuit by<br />

inspection or by resistance<br />

measurement<br />

• Verification of the shortcircuit<br />

withstand strength of<br />

the protective circuit by test<br />

• Verification of clearances<br />

and creepage distances<br />

• Verification of mechanical<br />

operation<br />

• Verification of the degree of<br />

protection<br />

Every SIVACON switchboard<br />

assembly undergoes routine<br />

testing before delivery:<br />

• Inspection of the assembly<br />

including inspection of<br />

wiring and, if necessary,<br />

electrical operation test<br />

• Dielectric test<br />

• Checking of protective<br />

measures and of the<br />

electrical continuity of the<br />

protective circuits<br />

These safety requirements<br />

are met by a series of details<br />

in SIVACON, for example:<br />

• With the use of the<br />

withdrawable design,<br />

operating errors are ruled<br />

out by exactly shaped<br />

mechanical guides and<br />

interlocks<br />

• Use is made of only a few,<br />

exclusively high-grade<br />

insulating materials<br />

(e.g. for rail mounts and<br />

reinforcements, etc.)<br />

• Use of reliable Siemens<br />

switchgear reduces the risk<br />

of premature failures<br />

• Reliable disconnection after<br />

70 to 100 ms even in the<br />

event of long delay times by<br />

3WN circuit-breakers with<br />

short-time grading control<br />

• Computer-assisted project<br />

planning assures error-free<br />

selection and placement of<br />

items<br />

• Arcing fault-tested<br />

• Quality management<br />

system to DIN EN ISO 9001<br />

• Environmental management<br />

system to<br />

DIN EN ISO 14001<br />
