Sivacon s8 - Safety Highlights

The SIVACON S8 low-voltage power distribution board ensures a high level of personal and plant
safety – at all times and everywhere.

1

• Design verification by verification test in accordance
with IEC 61439-1/-2
• Design-verified connection to the SIVACON 8PS busbar
trunking system

2

High level of personal safety thanks to
roof plate with pressure relief

3

Comprehensive certifications
• High degree of test coverage
• Certifications for use on ships and offshore platforms
• Earthquake upgrade

4

The patented locking system or simple or central
locking keeps doors closed even in the event of an
arcing fault.

5

Safety in the event of an arcing fault, thanks to testing in accordance with IEC 61641 and VDE 0660 Part 500-2: restriction of the effects of the arcing fault
• Within the power distribution board
• To a section
• To a compartment

6

An arcing fault barrier restricts the effects to one
section when an arcing fault occurs.

7

The insulated main busbars prevent the occurrence
of arcing.

8

Safe housing
• Frame made from stable sheet-steel profiles
• Aluzinc surfaces

Sivacon s8 - Flexibility Highlights

Thanks to its modular concept and wide variety of parts, SIVACON S8 can meet the most demanding requirements and satisfy all individual needs.

1

A variety of connection options via vertical section
busbars:
flexible layout and optional expansions

2

Supply unit and feeder
• Via cable or SIVACON 8PS busbar trunking system from 630 to 6,300 A
• From the top or bottom
• Aluminum or copper busbar trunking system

3

The section can be installed – either single- or doublefronted
together with a main busbar system or
back-to-back with a separate main busbar system.

4

The standardized, circumferential rows of holes in the
sheet-steel profiles allow for individual expansion.

5

High level of flexibility thanks to innovative modular
technology

• Different installation designs can be combined in
one section
• Functional units are easy to exchange or add

6

The functional compartments can be divided as required
with add-on modules.

7

Depending on requirements, different degrees of
protection can be implemented with the roof plate –
ventilated or non-ventilated.

8

The universal door hinge allows the hinge side to be
easily changed.

Sivacon s8 - Efficiency Highlights

The SIVACON S8 low-voltage power distribution board permits the efficient implementation of technologically
sophisticated solutions. The proof: Over 404,000 switching boards have already been installed in a wide
variety of applications by SIVACON Technology Partners.

1

Economical design
• Circuit breaker section provides enough space for up to three
circuit breakers
• Flexible installation design:
fixed-mounted or withdrawable design for easy maintenance

2

Efficient, flexible operation
• High packing density with up to 35 outgoing feeders
per section
• Fast exchange under operating conditions

3

Reduced service time thanks to maintenance-free
section connections

4

The patented ventilation slots reduce maintenance
effort.

• Cleaning is possible with the door closed and from the outside
• Low repair costs

5

The patented connection terminals are safe, flexible,
and easy to connect – during installation and in the
event of subsequent changes.

6

Reliable partners
• Maximum technological progress through constant innovation
guarantees the highest quality
• Brand strength combined with expertise gained over many years
and the availability of a local partner on-site

7

The SIMARIS software tools save time throughout the
process – from planning to configuration all the way to
plant documentation.

8

The innovative, communication-capable SENTRON
components are easy to integrate
• System status and energy flows are made transparent
• For energy-efficient plant operation
