  • Load Distribution: Dedicated outgoing feeders with individual protection devices.
• Intelligent Control & Monitoring:
  • HMI & SCADA Integration: Seamless connectivity to Plant SCADA or DCS via communication protocols (Modbus RTU/TCP, Profibus, PROFINET, Ethernet/IP).
  • Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) Integration: Onboard or external PLC options for complex control sequences and process automation.
  • Local Control: Push buttons, selector switches, and indicator lamps for manual operation and status indication.
  • Metering & Energy Management: Integrated energy meters, multi-function meters for real-time monitoring of voltage, current, power factor, and energy consumption.
• Safety & Compliance:
  • Mechanical & Electrical Interlocks: Prevents unsafe operations, such as opening cubicle doors when live or operating disconnects under load.
  • Emergency Stop (E-Stop) Functionality: Easily accessible E-stop buttons for critical shutdown.
  • Adherence to Standards: Designed and manufactured in compliance with international standards such as IEC 61439-1&2, NEMA ICS 18, UL, and relevant local electrical codes.
