An Introductory to Rittal Electrical Panels
An electrical panel is an essential piece of equipment used to prevent electrical shock to equipment users and protect electronic equipment from environmental factors.
Rittal design electrical panel is also a widely used type of electrical panel, which has many applications in the electrical industry. In the following, we would like to introduce you more to this electrical equipment. Please stay with us…
Do You Know Anything About Rittal Design Electrical Panels?
RITTAL ELECTRICAL PANEL DESIGN is usually similar to the Siwaken design panels in terms of application. The only difference is that the Rital panel is used for places with less space.
Its assembly is also much easier and takes less time than the Sivaken design panel; it only requires mechanically coupling several separate cells together.
These panels are used in industrial centers, factories, offices, workshops, residential units, stores, and places where space is limited and consumer amperage is low.
Rittal Design Electrical Panel Structure
As mentioned, compared to the Siwaken design panel, it requires less time for assembly, and depending on the needs of customers, the exit doors can be covered with glass so that the outlet switches are visible.
In this type of switchboard, all busbar work is done through the back of the switchboard, and usually the input feeders or input cables are connected to the main switches through the switchboard, and the switchboard output is also connected to the main busbars.
Consumer switches are also connected to these main busbars via cable or busbar, and based on experience, cable is used up to 250 amps and for higher amps busbar is used.
Types of Rital Designed Electrical Panels
- Rittal wall designed electrical panels
- Standing Rittal Design Panel
- Rittal piano-type designed panel
Rittal Wall Designed Electrical Panels
The wall-mounted Rittal design panels are available in two types: 1. AE wall-mounted Rittal design panel and 2. CM wall-mounted Rittal design panel. These two panel models differ in terms of dimensions. That is, the CM model can be made in two doors and in large dimensions.
Standing Rittal Design Panel
This panel is also divided into two models: 1. PS4000 standing Rittal design panel and 2. ES5000 standing Rittal design panel. These two panel models are not the same and each of them has its own unique features.
The PS4000 Rittal Standing Panel allows you to connect multiple cells together to achieve the desired dimensions. The side and back walls of this panel are not integrated and, since they are connected by screws, they can also be expandable in size.
In the Rittal ES5000 standing design, all side and back walls are integrated and therefore do not have the ability to expand them in the future. The advantages of this panel model are that it is cheaper than the PS4000 model and provides a higher IP or degree of protection due to the integrated body of this panel.
Rittal Piano-Type Designed Panel
The piano-style mimic panel, also known as the operator console panel, is widely used in control and monitoring tasks. The advantage of this type of panel is that it allows you to place display screens as well as control keyboards on it.
The Most Important Practical Advantages of Rittal Electrical Panels
- Their assembly is quick and easy.
- Reducing the weight of the panel by increasing the panel volume.
- They are produced in different dimensions and sizes.
- Locking and hinged doors at three points for strength.
- It has a high IP or protection rating.
- You can install various accessories such as frames or trays on it.
- Increasing the mechanical strength of the electrical panel against the dynamic force resulting from short-circuit current.
The Difference Between Rital and Civaken Electrical Panels
Rittal and Civaken electrical panels are two well-known brands in the electrical industry, each with its own features and applications. The choice between these two models depends on various factors such as: budget, project needs, environmental conditions, etc.
Rital Electrical Panel
Rittal is a German brand known worldwide for its high quality, precise design and very high safety standards. Rittal switchboards are usually designed for large and industrial projects with specific requirements.
Key features of Rittal electrical panels:
- High quality and high durability: The use of high-quality raw materials and a precise production process ensure that Rittal electrical panels have a long lifespan and high resistance to harsh environmental conditions.
- Modular design: These panels are designed modularly and can be customized and new equipment can be added to them.
- High safety standards: Rittal electrical panels are manufactured in accordance with the highest global safety standards.
- High price: Due to its high quality and additional features, Rittal electrical panels are priced higher than other brands.
Civakan Electrical Panel
Sivakon is an Iranian brand that produces high-quality and affordable electrical panels according to the needs of the domestic market. Sivakon electrical panels are used in many construction and industrial projects due to their affordable price and reliability.
Key Features of the Siwaken Electrical Panel
- Reasonable price: Sivaken electrical panels are more affordable than foreign brands such as Rittal.
- Acceptable quality: The construction quality of this electrical panel has improved in recent years and complies with domestic standards.
- Flexible design: It is possible to customize and produce this type of electrical panel according to the specific needs of the project.
- After-sales support: Companies that manufacture Sivakan electrical panels usually provide good after-sales service.
Feature Comparison
| Feature | Rittal electrical panel | Sivakan electrical panel |
|---|---|---|
| Quality | Very high | Acceptable |
| Price | High | Reasonable |
| Design | Modular and Flexible | Flexible |
| Safety standards | Very high | Based on domestic standard |
| After-sales support | Good | Good |
| Application | Big industrial areas, Hazard areas | Medium size pojects |
When Should We Use Rital Electrical Panels and When Should We Use Siwaken?
- Rittal electrical panel: If you are looking for a very high-quality electrical panel, modular design, and very high safety standards, and your budget is not too restrictive, the Rittal electrical panel is a good choice.
- Sivakan electrical panel: If you are looking for a quality, affordable, and reliable electrical panel, and need a quick and cost-effective solution, the Siwaken electrical panel could be a good option.
Other Factors That Affect the Selection of Electrical Panels
- Environmental conditions: If the electrical panel is to be used in a harsh environment, the appropriate option is electrical panels with a higher degree of protection.
- Equipment type: The type and number of equipment installed in the switchboard affect the dimensions and capacity of the switchboard.
- Budget: The available budget is one of the most important factors in choosing an electrical panel.
Conclusion
Choosing between Rittal and Civaken switchboards depends on your specific project needs and budget. Both brands have their own advantages and disadvantages.Before selecting a panel, define the available installation space, required protection rating, expected amperage range, and budget, then match the panel type and model to those constraints.
