Quick connect LV switchpanel solution
24 August 2011
Schneider Electric has extended its Prisma Plus P range to offer a new, pre-assembled LV switchpanel, helping Panelbuilders reduce design and engineering time, cut labour costs and meet new IEC regulatory requirements.
The Prisma Quick Connect is an IEC 61439-2 verified solution which can be specifically built to the customer’s own specification. It comes complete with horizontal busbars up to 3200 amps; a cubicle with the Air Circuit Breaker incomer already coppered for final connections. The outgoing Moulded case Circuit Breakers (MCCBs), mounting plates, front plates, outside cladding and Form 4 partitioning are already fitted.
To complete the partially-built Prisma, the Panelbuilder needs to organise and fit any metering and current transformers, complete the flexible connections between the ready fitted MCCBs and busbars, and undertake the standard three routine tests. The solution is then ready to be installed into the customer’s premises.
The Prisma Quick Connect comes with dedicated software that provides full parts and layout drawing and its almost ready-made set-up means that those new to specifying Prisma can confidently match the customer’s specification and comply with the new IEC standards. It can be easily upgraded to Form 4 Type 6 on request and is 50kA tested for peace of mind.
Paul Humphrey from Schneider Electric comments: “The Prisma Quick Connect has been designed at a time when Panelbuilders face pressure to deliver cost effective switchgear in an ever shortening turnaround. With workshop space at a premium, the new Prisma helps to free-up the shop floor and reduce waste as the product is pre-built to exact requirements. With all these benefits come improved cashflow and the ability to add value to projects for the end client.”
Manufactured at Schneider Electric’s UK factory in Swindon, the Prisma Quick Connect is available within a short lead-time of just two weeks and can be sent directly to the client’s facilities.
