Switchgear systems providing earthquake protection

Panel builders face the challenge of designing a switchgear system which can be used in earthquake-prone zones, especially as this kind of project is typically not regular business. A new white paper from Rittal entitled: 'Earthquake protection for switchgear systems', now offers switchgear manufacturers guidance on system design as well as a basic overview. 

It supports panel builders by providing information on relevant standards, typical testing methods and the layout of enclosures that can be used in earthquake-prone areas. It answers questions such as:

  • What has to be considered when building electrical switchgears for earth-quake-prone zones?
  • What damage can earthquakes do to control panels?
  • Which standards are relevant in terms of electrical infrastructure? 

The white paper uses the TS 8 baying enclosure system to illustrate also the effectiveness of the company’s earthquake accessory set against earthquakes.
