SOLUTIONS - Moeller Electric Parts

SOLUTIONS18Moeller System PartnerMoeller provides panel builders with a comprehensive range of enclosures anddistribution boards for power distribution systems up to 4000 A based on typetested function modules in compliance with IEC 60439-1. xEnergy, XVTL, CS orCI are examples of a complete power distribution system solutionthat consists of switchingand protective devices, the mounting technology, switch cabinets and the planning andcalculation tools, as well as giving due consideration to local installation practices (DIN, VDE,CEI, NF, UNE*).The Moeller system partners scheme for switchboards is an offer for panel builders thatprovides a range of different training courses on products and directives, as well as support foradvertising measures etc.The specifications for the South Americanchipboard plant are similar to those forthe power supply of a small town: Thepower is fed via two 115 kV / 13.8 kV highvoltage transformers with an output of 30MVA each, as well as a medium-voltagedistribution board and ten 13.8 kV / 0.44 kVtransformers with a rating of 1.6 MVA, aswell as a transformer for a 4.16 kV, 1 MVAmedium voltage drive.The low voltage power distributionsystem consists of 42 panels with six maindistribution systems with a rated current of2500 A, and a rated short-time withstandcurrent Icw of 50 kA. The power supply isimplemented via ten open IZMB2 circuitbreakerswith a rated current of 2500 A.Four coupling switches ensure emergencyoperation during maintenance or in theevent of a transformer failure. Both thetransformers and the incoming circuitbreakersare networked via Profibus, andsupply all operating data to the PLC formonitoring. A touch panel is used forcontrolling the power supply and visualizingthe system status.Modular xEnergy conceptVSK-Technik Kübler is an original MoellerxEnergy partner. xEnergy provides the Wormsbasedcompany with a freely combinableproduct range for power distribution systemsup to 4000 A. Operation is outstandinglysimple whatever the level of complexity.The system has a modular design and canbe arranged in intelligent combinations.Switching and protective devices, as wellas the associated mounting system andenclosures, form a technical and economicalunit. The system platform allows individualproject design, maximum flexibility and fastassembly in the workshop. This saves time,space and financial resources.The xEnergy modular system is futureproofand can be expanded exactly togrowing requirements. Its product rangecomprises incomer and coupling sectionsfor 4000 A circuit-breakers, individuallyconfigurable outgoer feeder sections withfixed compartment modules for switchingand protective devices up to 630 A, outgoingfeeder panels up to 630 A for switch-fusestrips, fuse rails and fuse switch-disconnectorswith different mounting depths, controland empty sections for optional equipment(such as with motor starters, PFC modules,frequency inverters, soft starters) as well ascarrier modules for modular rail-mounteddevices as service distribution boards.xEnergy consists of exactly tailoredfunction modules that are type tested withForm 1 to Form 4b internal separation inaccordance with IEC/ EN 60439, and givesdue consideration to European and localinstallation practices (DIN, VDE, CEI, NF,UNE*). As long as the panel builder followsthe Moeller assembly manual and installationinstructions, he can offer the system as atype-tested assembly (TTA) to his customerswithout any additional expenditure requiredfor testing.Panel builders are equipped with efficienttools for all stages from planning, toquotations right up to ordering. Thedocuments and the switchboard front vieware printed out with the order list. If required,Moeller can supply the entire range packedin functional flat pack units or as a preassembledswitching cabinet. Moeller alsooffers technical support and training courseson the construction of xEnergy. If required,the Moeller Field Service is also available foradvice and support.CONCLUSION“We have been official Moeller xEnergypartners since 2004 and have a verygood experience with xEnergy”, DieterRinghof explains. He is assistant tothe board of directors and has been atVSK-Technik Kübler for11 years. “ThexEnergy modular system allowed us tobid for the tender for Bariven project.Even for us, the planning, construction,testing and supply of 42 powerdistribution sections as TTAs within eightweeks was a real challenge. However,thanks to xEnergy were able to handlethis masterfully.”*IEC = IEC International ElectrotechnicalCommission = CEI Commission ElectrotechniqueInternationale; UNE Una Norma Española; NF Normefrançaise - Quality mark of the French standardsinstitute AFNORQuicklink ID:MS1819For Moeller Electric Sales and Support call KMparts.com (866) 595-961629
