SIVACON 8PT Switchgear is a low-voltage family for incoming distribution, outgoing feeders and motor-control applications. Separate main and distribution busbar values, circuit duties and service conditions when agreeing the assembly configuration.
SIVACON 8PT Switchgear Specifications
Main Horizontal Busbar Options

Vertical Feeder Busbars
| Parameter | Specification / configuration |
|---|---|
| Withdrawable-cabinet current | 1200 A in the supplied configuration data |
| Fixed-cabinet current | 1500 A in the supplied configuration data |
| Short-time withstand current options | 50 / 65 kA for 1 s, depending on feeder construction |
| Peak withstand current options | 110 / 163 kA, depending on feeder construction |
Ratings and options apply to the selected configuration. The agreed drawings and equipment schedule define the supplied assembly.
Separate the busbar duties
The main horizontal busbar distributes power along the lineup. Vertical busbars and feeder connections supply particular circuit arrangements, so their rated current and short-circuit duty need not equal those of the main busbar. The quotation and drawings identify the relevant construction for each section.
Specify access and circuit functions
Define incoming and coupling breakers, outgoing feeder sizes, motor-control functions, metering and cable entry. Available footprint, front or rear access, enclosure protection and the required internal separation should be considered alongside the electrical ratings. Documentation is selected for the agreed equipment arrangement and supply scope.
Information for Selection
- Required horizontal busbar rating and cabinet height
- Feeder technology and vertical busbar requirements
- Fault level and duration for each relevant circuit
- Access, cable entry, separation and documentation requirements
