Ri4Power
General
What is Ri4Power ?
• Modular enclosure system with
compartments
• For Motor Control Centers (MCC)
and Power Control Centers (PCC)
• Type-tested to IEC 60439-1&2 and
IEC 61439 1&2 (Latest)
• Busbar systems
RiLine60 up to 1600A
Maxi-PLS up to 4000A
Flat-PLS up to 5500A
3/4 pole + PE/PEN
• Static installation technology
Ri4Power
General
Why a Form separated system ?
• To separate function units from
each other
• To make maintenance much
more easier
• To make working at a life
system more safe
• To avoid damages which can
be affected from a failure in
other compartments
• To reduce the risk of failures
