Title: Low-voltage main distribution board
Ecosystem: Hydrogen
Area of application: Control cabinet for hydrogen production
Key facts: Control cabinet for the reliable operation of valves in various applications in the hydrogen industry, such as electrolysers, hydrogen refuelling stations, compressor stations, purification systems, fuel cells, and process automation in general.
The cabinet houses valve terminals and distributor solutions that ensure safe and reliable operation, even in potentially explosive (Ex) environments. The built-in remote I/O systems provide comprehensive digital connectivity that enables real-time monitoring and control for process valves. Thanks to special materials such as stainless steel and protective coatings, these cabinets are resistant to corrosion and provide protection from liquid and foreign bodies.
