Okken switchboards offer industry-leading performance - and are smart grid-ready. Offering advanced protection, fault protection and seamless integration with energy management and control systems, Okken delivers long-term efficiency.
Engineered for performance
The Okken switchboard features:
- Power Control Center (PCC): delivering up to 6300 A
- Motor Control Center (MCC): delivering up to 250 kW
- Intelligent Power and Motor Control Center (iPMCC)
Functional applications for Okken switchboards
-
As part of the EcoStruxure™ Power platform, this tested and validated thermal monitoring solution detects overheating as a result of loose connections, unbalanced loads, and/or other issues inside an LV switchboard. This solution can run continuously (24/7), to complement or even replace the annual infrared inspection of your electrical system:
• Maintain operational uptime and business continuity
• Reduce operational expenses and total cost of ownership
• Protect building occupants and electrical distribution equipment -
