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
