Enclosure systems

The VX25 and TS 8 baying enclosure systems and system enclosures SE feature a cleverly designed frame section. Interior installation may be implemented on two mounting levels to maximise the use of space inside the enclosure. The VX25 large enclosure system is also distinguished by its fully symmetrical frame section and significantly reduced complexity, with simplified, more consistent baying technology to suit all applications.

VX25 RI4POWER

The switchgear and
power distribution system
for the VX25.

The VX25 Ri4Power allows you to create different sections within a switchgear
or power distribution system to perform these tasks.

THE SECTION TYPES

ACB section

ACB section

FOR PROTECTING MACHINES AND SYSTEMS

Air circuit-breakers protect machines, plant and people from damage and injury associated with short-circuits, earth faults and overloads.

 

  • The VX25 Ri4Power is suitable for use with open and compact circuit-breakers from all well-known manufacturers, including ABB, Eaton, General Electric, Mitsubishi, Schneider Electric, Siemens, LSIS and Terasaki.
     
  • Modular continuity and exceptional manufacturing quality guarantee exceptionally time-saving assembly.
     
  • Up to 6300 A, the busbar systems are dimensioned to your specific requirements with standard copper bars and individually configured.
     
  • Plan and prepare efficiently with the Rittal Power Engineering Software.

Outgoing section

FOR COMBINING SWITCH AND CONTROL FUNCTIONS

In the outgoing section, many different components may be connected under one roof, such as power distributors with control units. Individual functional spaces, shielded from one another, are created within the section to achieve this.

 

  • Targeted configuration and bespoke population, e.g. with switchgear, power supply outgoing feeders or control units.
     
  • Distribution busbar system with versatile positioning options, easily and securely connected to the main busbar systems using system components.
     
  • Modular enclosure busbar system spanning different sections and functional spaces.

Form 2b

TO ENSURE OPTIMUM CONTACT HAZARD PROTECTION

The Form 2b designed as an internal separation shields the busbar compartment from the functional space and the connection space.

 

  • All active parts are safe from finger-contact in line with IP 2X.
     
  • When working in the functional space, connection space or busbar compartment, the modular, width-flexible cover provides effective protection from contact with the busbars.
     
  • Shielding to Form 2b also protects the equipment by preventing the unwanted ingress of foreign bodies into the busbar compartment.
     
  • Convenient plug-in and clip-in technology supports simple assembly of all components with no drilling required.

Coupling section

TO MAINTAIN FAIL-SAFE OPERATION

A combination of an air circuit-breaker section with a busbar riser optionally arranged on the left or right.

 

  • Individual sections of busbar can be de-energised without switching off the entire system, to prevent malfunctions and total failures.
     
  • With the VX25 Ri4Power, busbar sections may be safely disconnected thanks to comprehensive, stable partitioning, which allows the stringent requirements for overall short-circuit resistance to be reduced.
     
  • Similar layout as with the air circuit-breaker section. The system synergies help to significantly reduce assembly time and offer major cost-saving potential.

Fuse-switch disconnector section

FOR A RELIABLE POWER SUPPLY

For compact, variable distribution of electric power with fused switchgear. Plug-type NH slimline fuse-switch disconnectors are used here, supported by vertical multi-terminal busbar systems.

 

  • Fast, secure, complete preparation for installing NH slimline fuse-switch disconnectors.
     
  • Interchangeable control units may be integrated into the fuse-switch disconnector section even when live.
     
  • The main and distribution busbar system may be configured for a short-circuit resistance of up to 100 kA for 1 sec.
     
  • The internal separation in the fuse-switch disconnector section is tailored to the customer’s requirements.

Cable chamber

FOR DISTRIBUTING CABLES AND LINES

The cable chamber is used for routing cables and lines to the functional spaces.
 

  • Exceptionally time-saving, flexible installation thanks to the extensive range of VX25 Ri4Power system accessories.
     
  • Depending on the main busbar system chosen, cable routing may be either from below, above, or below and above.
     
  • Choose from a range of cable entry glands for the roof plate.

Energy storage section

FOR SUPPLYING POWER RESERVES

ESS is a modular infrastructure solution for battery energy storage solutions (BESS).

 

  • Together, Rittal standard components form a modular system which is used to configure bespoke enclosures.
     
  • Depending on the manufacturer and design of the storage modules, the enclosure layout may be flexibly modified, for example with individual connection options.
     
  • This very assembly-friendly solution allows easier rack scaling, power distribution, cooling and system configuration, thus helping to safeguard system availability.
     
  • For seamless monitoring of performance and risk of failure, ESS may be combined with CMC and RiZone for the monitoring system.  Web connectivity is provided via the Rittal IoT module.
