Main Electrical LV Switchboards
The main purpose of electric switchboards is to supply power to each and every single recipient electrical device.
The low voltage switchboards receive electrical power from one or many power transformers or generators and redirect electricity throughout a number of switched circuits; it is built like a combination of electrical panels on which switches and other power control equipment are mounted.
Our company provides LV electrical Switchboards up to 6000 Amps, custom made to meet the electrical project specifications and to fit within the special room where it will be installed.
These are built with the degree of protection, the short-circuit capacity and the form of separation indicated by the project.
Power can be supplied from the power source with cables or encapsulated busbar; the connection to the encapsulated busbar is made with copper bars directly to the incoming breakers.
In anyBuilding, the main switchboard supply switches electrical power to secondary panels like HVAC Panels, Chiller Panels, Fire Pumps Panels, Tenants Panels, Essential Panels andother type of panels or recipients, or to an encapsulated busbar mounted in the building to supply electric power at secondary local panel trough a tape-off connection.
It canalso be equipped with change over switches for an essential recipient with automatic transfer switches.
The outgoing circuits can be equipped with an energy meter, remote control, emergency shut-down from fire station and communication link to the Building Management System.
In most of the main switchboards provided by us that are being supplied from more than one source and the complexity of switched circuits are high, we install Programable Logical Computers with HMI or synoptic panel for control and visualization of the status of the circuit breakers and of the entire main switchboard to operate the switches automatically and communicate with central BMS.
In addition, our company offers the on-site montage of switchboards assembly, the provision of electrical tests after montage and full technical assistance for commissioning of the equipment installed.
Secondary Electrical Panels
Distribution Switchboards are powered from main switchboards trough cables or connected to tap-off boxes installed on the building encapsulated busbar and ensure the distribution and protection to the connected electrical circuits.
Typically, these have an incoming main circuit breakers or separation switch disconnector, energy meter with communication Modbus, M-Bus or other communication protocol , voltage supply signaling, are built in metal sheet enclosure with front plates to prevent operator’s contact with live electrical parts from inside and can be mounted on the wall or on the floor; IP Rating of enclosure is IP30 or higher .
The Earthing system is, in most of the cases, TN-S , PE and N are separate conductors.
Connections of outgoing cables are fitted with terminal blocks, disposed inside the enclosure, top or bottom, depending on the incoming cables positioning and according to the electrical project specification.
The switchboards distribute electricity to various systems in a building such as: lighting, emergency lighting, panic lighting, sockets, motion and presence sensors, heating, cooling and ventilation systems (HVAC) and defrosting systems.
Distribution circuits contain circuit breakers, residual current circuit breakers for earth leakage protection, surge arrester protection devices, modular contactors, signaling relays, impulse relays, time switches, light sensitive switches, auxiliary circuit breakers contacts and relays linked to the BMS.
In addition, these can contain automation controllers for a Building Management System or KNX building automation.
Hospital Solutions
Hospital Isolated Power Panels
Electrical installations in medical locations must be made in accordance with the recommendations of the standard SR CEI 60364-7-710.
The modern solutions applied in the electricity distribution architecture, in the electrical design of the electrical panel, in its physical realization and in the continuous insulation monitoring action for the critical applications in hospitals, satisfy the most demanding requirements in this field for patient safety,medical staff safety and continuity in electricity supply.
We build and provide isolated power panels for operating rooms and pre and post operating rooms as well as for intensive care.
The supply of the electrical panels for medical locations is made single-phase, in two ways and from two distinct sources; the switching time between the two sources is less than 500ms. Switching from normal source to backup is done instantly but returning to normal source is done with a safety timer.
For patient safety and increasing continuity in power supply, a medical IT system is used for all life support equipment.
This system is made by using a single-phase separation transformer for medical use with a maximum power of 10KVA and a permanent insulation control system, together with a local, visual and audible alarm. The system also ensures the protection of medical equipment against possible electrical disturbances. The separation transformer is built in accordance with the standards IEC 60364–7–710 and IEC 61558–2-15.
Monitoring of system parameters and alarms can be done locally in the operating room through the standard solution or on the web page dedicated to the communicating solution.
