New Alpha 3200 Eco power distribution board requires 30 percent less copper
Reduced amount of copper lowers material costs
Smart ventilation system ensures optimal heat dissipation
Digital engineering and new system concept shorten project lead times for switchgear manufacturers
Siemens Smart
Infrastructure introduces the Alpha 3200 Eco power distribution board. Thanks to a new system, it requires one-third less
copper. The new power distribution board features a main busbar in the middle
of the board instead of at the top or the bottom, allowing devices to be
attached directly. Previously, additional connection rails made of copper were
needed. This new design significantly reduces material costs and installation
efforts. It also allows for more flexible installation of the associated Alpha
assembly kits with protection, switching and measuring devices. Overall, this
results in more room for valuable functions, such as collecting energy data and
switching states, as well as for connecting the power distribution board to
digital building management systems. A new ventilation system with two cooling
circuits provides for optimal heat dissipation and energy yield.

“Power distribution requirements in buildings
are constantly growing – from planning to operations. Smart buildings require
flexible systems that can communicate. Time and cost pressures in switchgear
manufacturing are also on the rise. Our power distribution boards are designed
specifically to meet these demands, and they assist switchgear manufacturers
along the entire value chain,” explained Martin Moosburger, Head of Product
Management for Low Voltage Products at Siemens Smart Infrastructure.
The Alpha 3200 Eco power distribution board
is particularly suited for use in the cost-sensitive building infrastructure
market, including shopping centers or office buildings. In addition, switchgear
manufacturers benefit from less complexity and shorter project lead times.
Together with communication-capable devices from the Siemens Sentron portfolio,
Alpha 3200 Eco creates a consistent, harmonized system for reliable and
efficient power distribution in buildings. The Simaris configuration software
is rounding out the system, making it easy to configure the power distribution
board in compliance with IEC 61439. The software also supports calculation,
offer preparation, and system documentation.
The new Alpha 3200 Eco power distribution board from Siemens requires 30 percent less copper.
