Low-voltage distribution is essential in any infrastructure and building that requires a reliable and efficient power supply. One of the most critical aspects of low-voltage distribution is the control cabinet, which serves as the central hub for all electrical equipment, such as motors, lights, switches, and sensors. Siemens, a leading provider of industrial solutions, offers a range of innovative products for low-voltage distribution and tunnel automation that help ensure safe, cost-effective, and flexible power distribution. In this blog, we will delve into two of Siemens' main products for low-voltage distribution and tunnel automation: SIRIUS and SENTRON.
SIRIUS is a comprehensive portfolio of industrial control products that cover all aspects of functional areas such as switching, starting, protecting, and monitoring. This versatile product range provides the perfect control cabinet solution, easily and quickly, thanks to Planning Efficiency TM. The planning tools, data provision, and function modules offered by SIRIUS help save configuration and installation costs, which can reach up to 80% and 48%, respectively.
In tunnel systems, SIRIUS provides long spare parts availability and customer-friendly replacement strategies for new device generations, making it ideal for systems with extended service lives.
On the other hand, SENTRON is a comprehensive portfolio of protection, switching, measuring, and monitoring devices for safe, low-cost, and flexible use in low-voltage power distribution. SENTRON's single-source solution provides safe power distribution by offering protection, switching, measuring, and monitoring devices that are well-matched to one another.
The communication-enabled products and systems of SENTRON can be easily integrated into higher-level management systems, making it ideal for tunnel systems. SENTRON measuring devices offer clear monitoring of measured values, which is ideal for the large number of outgoing feeders and loads in tunnel systems.
Additionally, the components of SENTRON can be easily integrated into the WinCC control system via commonly used bus systems. This helps reduce installation time and costs, making it a valuable investment for tunnel automation.
In conclusion, Siemens' SIRIUS and SENTRON products are leading solutions for low-voltage distribution and tunnel automation. The comprehensive product portfolios, planning tools, data provision, and function modules offered by SIRIUS help save configuration and installation costs. SENTRON's protection, switching, measuring, and monitoring devices provide safe, low-cost, and flexible solutions for low-voltage power distribution. With these innovative products, Siemens provides cost-effective, reliable, and efficient solutions for low-voltage distribution and tunnel automation.
