When space is limited
CUBIC partner, OOO Universal-Electric, recently completed a main switchboard for a technological line of PhosAgro-Cherepovets, producer of phosphate-based mineral fertilizers, phosphoric and sulphuric acids, aluminium fluoride, ammonia, urea, ammonium nitrate (AN) and other nitrogen-based fertilizers.
To bring it to a new generation capacity a 2500A panel was built, which supplies several sub-switchboards of ventilation and smoke exhaust in case of fire, ignition control etc.
Limited space
By using the CUBIC Modular System the limited space is utilised in the best possible way. Different functional units in the switchboard are combined in order to find place for the required components. This underlines the versatility achieved by applying the modular system.
The combination of the modular system and Cu-flex has made the construction process of the switchboards both simple and time saving to Universal-Electric.
The switchboards
All mainboards consist of a draw-out and MCCB column. The components of the draw-out column are connected by Cu-flex. These are also applied to connect the busbar trunking system to the busbars.
The customer PhosAgro-Cherepovets has thus achieved a future-proof solution with no maintenance required of the busbar system.
