Key Features

 

High Fault Withstand Capability: Structural frame and main busbar support systems engineered to handle electrodynamic forces up to 100kA short-circuit current without structural or mechanical deformation.

Modular Internal Separation: Compartmentalized layouts up to Form 4b restrict fault arcs to single zones and allow safe live-front maintenance on functional units without total system shutdowns.

Optimized Thermal Performance: Ventilation configurations and silver-plated busbar joint interfaces maintain operating temperature rises below 65K at full continuous load.

Integrated Metering & Protection: Dedicated instrument compartments designed to house incoming Air Circuit Breakers (ACBs), multi-function power meters, and programmable protection relays.

 

Applications

 

Heavy Industrial Plants: Central power distribution for metal processing lines, chemical manufacturing facilities, and automated assembly plants.

Commercial Real Estate: Main power aggregation for high-rise office buildings, shopping complexes, and municipal convention centers.

Critical Infrastructure: Core switchboards for data centers, municipal water treatment facilities, and airport terminal power grids.

Renewable Energy Integration: Aggregating multiple utility-scale solar inverter or wind turbine generator feeds before grid synchronization.

 

Customization

 

Single-Line Diagram (SLD) Matching: Layouts custom-engineered to match provided electrical schematics, top/bottom cable entry requirements, and spatial footprint limitations.

Switchgear Component Integration: Internal mounting provisions configured to house specific third-party components (Schneider, ABB, Siemens, Eaton) or client-specified brands.

Enclosure Dimensions & Finish: Modular bay widths and depths adapted to switchroom constraints; custom RAL color specifications and stainless steel (SUS304/SUS316) options for corrosive environments.

 

Manufacturing & Quality Control

 

CNC Sheet Metal Fabrication: Amada CNC laser cutting and turret punch systems maintain structural assembly tolerances within +/- 0.2 mm.

Busbar Processing: Automated CNC copper bending and punching centers ensure exact hole alignment and low-resistance connection joints.

Torque Verification & Joint Protection: All copper-to-copper bolted joints tightened via calibrated torque wrenches using disc spring washers; contact surfaces coated with anti-oxidation paste.

 

Factory Routine Testing (Per IEC 61439-2):

Dielectric properties verification (2.5kV AC withstand test for 1 minute).

Protective circuit continuity check (earth resistance < 0.1 ohm).

Mechanical operation test of breaker interlocking mechanisms.

FAQ

 

Q: What are the standard lead times for custom-engineered Main Distribution Panels?

A: Production takes 4 to 6 weeks following final approval of technical submittal drawings and single-line diagrams. Expedited production schedules can be arranged for critical project timelines.

Q: Can the internal layout accommodate switchgear brands specified by our local utility?

A: Yes. Enclosures and internal mounting brackets are custom-configured to house specified incoming and outgoing circuit breaker brands, such as Schneider, ABB, or Siemens, per project requirements.

Q: How do you size busbars to prevent overheating at rated capacity?

A: Busbars are sized using current density calculations (typically 1.2 A/mm2 to 1.5 A/mm2 for T2 copper) and validated through thermal simulations to guarantee operation well below the 65K temperature rise limit.

Q: What internal separation levels are available for these panels?

A: Standard configurations start at Form 2b, with project-specific upgrades available up to Form 4b to physically separate busbars, functional units, and terminals into independent compartments.

Q: What factory tests are performed before shipment?

A: Each panel undergoes dielectric strength testing, protective earth continuity verification, mechanical interlock testing, and auxiliary circuit functional checks per IEC 61439 requirements.

Q: How are multi-bay distribution panels prepared for international container shipping?

A: Panels exceeding standard shipping lengths are divided into transportable shipping sections (typically 1 to 3 bays per section). Busbar bridge links, joint hardware, and alignment dowels are packed securely for on-site reassembly.
