Energy distribution is now green

Since the beginning of the year, electrical planners, switchgear manufacturers, and operators have been able to learn about Sedotec ideas and innovations online. To this end, SEDOTEC has set up its own film studio in Ladenburg and regularly hosts webinars and product presentations for the target audience. © SEDOTEC

Sedotec presents its new modular kit system for low-voltage switchgear from 630 to 1250 amperes. The company has implemented numerous groundbreaking innovations within this system. The manufacturer eliminates welding and still achieves protection class IP54 through innovative corner connectors. In addition to its modular design and freedom in choosing switching devices, Vamocon 1250 impresses with a consistently sustainable and resource-conserving design. Users can save up to 3,500 kg of CO2. Electrical planners and switchgear manufacturers can get live online information about the new product. For this purpose, Sedotec has set up its own film studio.

"We have designed and implemented Vamocon 1250 with a consistent 'green' approach to energy distribution," reports Dirk Seiler. "Furthermore, we have aligned the system strictly with the wishes and needs of engineering offices, switchgear builders, electrical installers, and operators," emphasizes the managing director of SEDOTEC GmbH & Co. KG. Vamocon 1250 is the latest development from Ladenburg, a modular kit system for low-voltage switchgear from 630 to 1250 A. It is designed for the installation of switchgear from ABB, Schneider Electric, Siemens, Efen, Jean Müller, and Wöhner with type approval through testing.

Save up to 3.5 tons of CO2 with Vamocon 1250

What is impressive, however, is how consistently the manufacturer has considered environmental and sustainability concerns. The new system requires up to 30 percent less copper, produces up to 20 percent less power loss, and uses less plastic. The CO2 savings are expected to amount to up to 3.5 tons over the system's lifetime. Additionally, Vamocon 1250 can be used longer and saves up to 3,000 euros per meter of switchgear, as the manufacturer is happy to demonstrate, aiming to convince controllers as well.

Extensive testing for type approval according to DIN EN 61439-1/-2 ensures reliable operation of the system. Moreover, personnel and system safety are prioritized. This is mainly achieved through a higher level of internal subdivision. Additionally, all live parts inside the field are finger-safe covered. As a result, the manufacturer was able to omit field-height plastic covers on the front.

Thanks to innovative corner connectors, the enclosure does not need to be welded but still meets protection class IP54. The invention of the new corner connector with sealing function was deemed worthy of registration as a utility model by the German Patent and Trademark Office. A variety of different cable glands and cable entries ensure safe and IP54-rated cable ingress points into the system on site.

Get online information, configure, and order directly

With the intuitive software Vamocad, electrical planners and switchgear builders can configure the Vamocon 1250 system online, download all documents with type approvals, and directly transfer the order from the configurator into SEDOTEC’s production system. The fields are partially pre-assembled with copper, saving time and costs during final installation. The reduced packaging requirement further emphasizes the consistent green approach.

Own film studio visually showcases innovations
