LOW VOLTAGE SWITCHGEAR

Main Distribution Boards

An MDB is a panel or enclosure that houses the fuses, circuit breakers and ground leakage protection units where the electrical energy, which is used to distribute electrical power to numerous individual circuits or consumer points, is taken in from the transformer or an upstream panel.

Sub Main Distribution Boards

The MDB then feeds SMDBs, which is installed generally at the point where a large distribution cable terminates and several smaller sub-circuits start. These are the switchboards that although similar construction, are larger than a final distribution board circuit. The boards are installed midway through the power distribution system, at the point in a large distribution cable ends, and several smaller starting sub-circuits.

Motor Control Center Panels

Motor control centers are simply physical groupings of combination starters in one assembly. A combination starter is a single enclosure containing the motor starter, fuses or circuit breaker, and a device for disconnecting power. Other devices associated with the motor, such as pushbuttons and indicator lights may also be included.

Capacitor Banks

Improve the power factor by adding capacitive reactance in steps as per the power factor requirement. Power factor controller constantly monitors the load (and power factor) of the system on LV Panel and switch on/off the capacitor steps to maintain the system power factor to the set value.

General Control & Synchronization Panels

Synchronizing panel will operate on an automatic mains failure system, so that when the main supply is interrupted on one or all phases (after an adjustable delay period) the generator sets will start-up together. After an initial warm-up period (adjustable) the generators will synchronize with each other by means of motorized circuit breakers or contactors onto a common busbar. Next, the motorized change- over switch will be closed and the load will be connected to the main distribution box.

  • 3-pole or 4-pole system as required

  • Various combinations of load transfer by ACBs, MCCBs or Contactors

  • Protection class up to IP 54

  • Load sharing/load shedding

  • Automatic and manual synchronizing

  • Factory built to client's specifications
