Electrical power
distribution for the
fourth industrial
revolution
Siemens AG
Fourth industrial revolution, the Internet of things these catchphrases are being
talked about everywhere now.
So far, in discussions around these topics questions regarding the electrical power
distribution requirements of these sustainable production systems are mostly relegated
to the background. We have thus made these questions the focus of the current issue
of E-Installation. A power supply systematically designed for the new requirements is
essential to meet all future demands. This power supply must be not only efficient,
reliable, and highly available but also able to adapt to current needs on an ongoing
basis. This means that the planning and configuration will become more difficult, and
new connection techniques and reliable components will be needed for a far higher
number of control and regulation processes. At least that is what Professor Dr. Frank
Berger of the Department of Electrical and Information Technology at TU Ilmenau
thinks, from whom we obtained an expert opinion on the subject in our cover interview.
An additional article in the focus area demonstrates how Siemens ensures smooth
production and eliminates electrically induced faults in the industrial environment with
its integrated protection system.
As usual, we provide you with some interesting application examples as well. For
example, you can read about how TIP is used for reliability and maximum energy
efficiency in Germanys largest data center, which Telekom recently built in Biere in
Saxony-Anhalt. Or how Desigo was used to implement building automation in its most
modern form at the headquarters of crystal manufacturer Swarovski. Or how our arc
fault detection units ensure optimal protection for many people in a historic church as
well as in modern wooden vacation homes.
And, of course, we also present new products and technologies, such as the Sivacon
S8 low-voltage power distribution board, the KNX/DALI gateway, the QMX7.E38 Desigo
Touch room control unit, the RMB795B control center, the 3WL12 open circuit breaker,
and extended versions of the Simaris planning software.
I hope you find this issue informative and interesting.
Sincerely,
Andreas Matth

Professor Berger studied electrical engineering and design at TU Dresden and
wrote his doctoral thesis on the modeling
and simulation of low-voltage switchgear.
After more than 12 years of industry
experience as head of applied research at
Klckner Moeller GmbH in Bonn, he was
appointed professor in the Electrical
Equipment and Systems Department at TU
Ilmenau in 2003. He is a member of the
International Council on Large Electric
Systems (Conseil International des Grands
Rseaux lectriques, CIGRE) and the
Association for Electrical, Electronic and
Information Technologies (Verband der
Elektrotechnik, Elektronik und Informationstechnik, VDE), head of the ETG/ITG

In an industrial environment, electrically induced faults can cause
serious injury to personnel and damage machines, thus affecting the
entire production process. With an integrated technical protection
system, many risks can be eliminated.
curity. In an integrated protection system, the specific needs of industrial systems are taken into account. Fault currents of defective electrical
appliances or machines can lead to life-threatening
electric shocks as well as deadly accidents. With 30
mA RCCBs in different versions, electrical equipment can be protected from direct contact. The reliable type F offers increased unwanted tripping resistance and surge current withstand capability, as
can occur on the outgoing terminals of single-phase
converters, such as on pumps. Frequency converters or soft starters with smooth or nearly smooth
fault currents are protected against electric shock
with type B or B+.
Molded case circuit breakers reliably protect industrial plants from damage due to short circuits
and overloads. Additional functions can be provided
via the extensive range of accessories offered by
the new 3VA molded case circuit breaker from the
Sentron portfolio, including the recording of consumption data, system statuses, and fault and residual currents.

Sensitive power electronics in converters, rectifiers, inverters, soft starters, and static relays, which
can be found in modern drive solutions and machinery, power plants, and wind turbines, can be protected through the use of semiconductor protection
fuses. The more complex the industrial systems, the
more important it is to take the right precautions in
order to reliably and safely supply the systems with
power and protect them against failures and disturbances. An important feature of a reliable power
supply, selectivity ensures that when a fault occurs
in a series connection of several protective devices,
only the protection device installed immediately upstream from the fault location trips. In case of fault,
the downstream protective device provides additional backup protection against short circuits and
overloads. Only the directly affected part of a plant
or system is shut down, and all the other parts remain in operation. This also allows the fault to be
more easily identified and rectified. A comprehensive overvoltage protection system protects all vulnerable active line paths with suitable overvoltage
protection devices.

A new type series of the SHU 5SP3 selective main miniature circuit breaker in accordance with DIN VDE 0641-21 is
suitable for mounting on 35-mm top-hat rails. Selective
main miniature circuit breakers are used for the building
connection or in the meter cabinet, or as a group miniature
circuit breaker for better selectivity in the distribution board
for example, in structural systems for venues where large
numbers of people come together. If a fault occurs on the
consumer side, the SHU enables selective tripping in the area
of the distribution system operator in addition to its pure isolating function.
In combination with a conventional miniature circuit
breaker, the voltage-independent SHU improves the selectivity assuming a specific network configuration such as a
cascade circuit with upstream melting fuses and downstream miniature circuit breakers. The SHU may be operated
by nonprofessionals and meets all requirements of the technical connection conditions.

Power transmission

Within the scope of sustainable power generation, wind energy is
becoming more and more important. At the same time,
manufacturers of wind turbines are exposed to a constantly
increasing cost pressure: their plants must transmit the generated
power in a safe, reliable, and cost-efficient way.
power loss and an increase in the overall efficiency of the wind turbine. For
turbine operators, additional feed-in
compensations are made possible over
the entire service life of the wind turbine. The coordinated product portfolio provides reliable and efficient transmission of the generated electrical
power in the main circuit and ensures
its safe infeed into the grid.
