Main low voltage distribution board for compact transformer stations

Pre-configured solution for the main low voltage distribution board (LVDB) of compact  transformer stations with 1,250 A @ 400 V. An ideal starting point for fast and simple adaptation to your specific requirements.

The configuration is implemented on standard Rittal mounting plates and incorporates a Ri4Power 185 mm busbar system with busbars, circuit-breaker adaptors, NH fuse-switch disconnectors and busbar supports as the core components for power distribution. To enable digitalisation of the compact transformer station, measuring and control devices are installed in Rittal small and compact enclosures of the PK and AX series.

The LVDB concept reflects the latest state of the art of digital compact transformer stations and is provided as a complete Eplan project including documentation. Benefit from the pre-defined solution and accelerate your engineering.

With the Eplan Industry Sample as your Industry Standard Project, you save valuable time at the engineering stage!

Explained step by step

1 Project definition

The construction and expansion of transformer stations, including integration into the power grid, must be planned in accordance with operator regulations. Decisions regarding the switchgear design and different combinations of cabling, transformer and circuit-breaker sections are dependent not only on customer requirements but also on the structuring of power distribution and the grid topology.

2 Engineering

The Eplan project, the so-called Industry Sample, describes a fully functional transformer station with low-voltage section, transformer and medium-voltage section. You receive a complete Eplan project including all CAD files, parts lists with the components used and energy-relevant diagrams.

3 Engineering – Mounting plate wiring

All required design information is provided in full detail, including relevant specifications for the wiring ducts and support rails.

4 Integration of bundled manufacturer data

Via the EPLAN Data Portal library, all relevant article data is available for direct import into the Eplan project, simplifying the process of documentation.

5 Engineering produces a 3D model

The integrated Eplan solutions permit simple 3D designing of the power distribution system in EPLAN Pro Panel.

6 The digital twin of the transformer station is ready2go

The digital twin is a virtual model of the planned installation and permits simulations of the systems, interfaces and processes already during the early engineering phase. That reduces the number of necessary development loops, reveals any errors in good time and accelerates commissioning. The optimisation of all process steps offers enormous potential for time and cost savings.

7 Parts lists for direct 1:1 ordering

A list of Rittal components can simply be exported and added to the Rittal shopping cart – and all information relevant for subsequent ordering is immediately available to the purchasing office.

8 Significantly simplified maintenance with a digital twin

The possibility to create an AR model simplifies maintenance of the installed system. Service technicians, for example, can already simulate a planned site visit before they leave the office and can provide valuable tips to their local partners via a remote link.

9 Special requirements? No problem!

Modifications to the Eplan project to accommodate individual wishes and requirements can be implemented quickly and simply at any time. Components can be removed, added or replaced as necessary – the documentation is updated immediately and the digital twin is adapted accordingly.

Example: Extension of a load output in all diagrams

10 Documentation at the press of a button

The transformer station project is realised in accordance with DIN EN 61439. When designing and building low-voltage switchgear, it is important that the documentation includes routine verification reports and a declaration of CE conformity.

11 Production integration and pre-assembly

Eplan data can be imported seamlessly into Rittal solutions to enable automated production – significant efficiency gains are guaranteed.

Upon request, the Rittal Application Center in Gera offers further value-adding services: Specialists are on hand to support the planning of your power distribution system, and we can also take care of partial pre-assembly of your low-voltage switchgear. The pre-assembled system components can then be delivered quickly and reliably – including customer-provided circuit-breakers from all well-known manufacturers.

12 The real twin as a 1:1 copy

Project realisation times can be shortened significantly with the aid of a Industry Standard Project. Along the entire chain from engineering to assembly and commissioning, major time savings achieve a distinct cost reduction.
