3WA air circuit breakers: High-Capacity Protection and control

The Siemens 3WA Air Circuit Breaker is the central component of all Alpha Drives & Switchgear EV distribution boards. At the heart of your EV charging system, these cutting-edge breakers are designed for medium voltage distribution, guaranteeing both performance and safety.

Why Select ACBs from 3WA?

• Voltage & Current Ratings: Suitable for multi-station setups and rapid charging, this device can handle up to 690V and 6300A.
• Intelligent monitoring: Consists of event diagnostics and integrated energy metering.
• Communication Ready: Facilities smooth integration with Modbus, PROFIBUS and PROFINET.
• Remote operation: The ability to switch and monitor conditions remotely from a central control platform.

Even in the face of extreme load conditions, 3WA ACBs ensure resilience and system uptime by offering vital protection for both downstream charging units and upstream infrastructure.

3WA Air Circuit Breakers: High-Capacity Protection and Control

We incorporate Siemens 3VA Moulded Case circuit breakers (MCCBs) into all Alpha Drives & Switchgear EV distribution boards to control circuit protection at the branch and feeder level. These small, modular breakers are perfect for safeguarding a single EV charger or a group of them.

Key Features:

• Thermal and Magnetic Trip Units: Offer both short-circuit and overload protection in one convenient package.
• Flexible Installation: Adaptable to any layout arrangement in terms of orientation
• High Breaking Capacity: Strong fault-clearing capabilities with less downtime.
• Monitoring options: Communication modules and current metering are supported by advanced models

Whether used as a standalone charger or as a component of a multi-bay charging station, 3VA MCCBs provide safe and effective distribution to every EV charging point with accurate and reliable performance.

Siemens Green Steel: Sustainable without compromise

In order to lessen the environmental effect of your infrastructure investment, Alpha Drives & Switchgear is pleased to use Siemens Green steel in the building of our EV distribution boards.

Siemens Green Steel Advantages:

• Minimal Carbon Emissions: Reduced C02 emissions during manufacture by up to 70%
• Completely recyclable: promotes the objectives of the circular economy
• Certified and long-lasting: It satisfies the same fire safety, corrosion Resistance, and strength requirements as regular steel.
• Compliant with green Building Guidelines: Ideal for projects that adhere to ISO 14001 or LEED standards

We help your charging systems achieve Sustainability goals without compromising performance or durability by integrating Siemens Green Steel into each panel.

Supporting Siemens SICHARGR D: Fast charging, Smart integration

Advanced EV charging systems, such as Siemens SICHARGE D, a fast-charging solution renowned for its effectiveness, adaptability, and dynamic power allocation, are completely compatible with our EV distribution boards.

Our panels guarantee clean, secure, and reliable power delivery whether you’re setting up a single SICHARGE D unit or multiple units throughout a depot or forecourt. Alpha Drives & Switchgear provides the electrical distribution that is similarly dynamic and responsive, which is necessary due to the dynamic nature of the SICHARGE D.

• The design of our distribution boards incorporates:
• The design of our distribution boards incorporates:
• Support for load balancing
• The capacity to track energy in real time
• Protection designed for DC charging at high speeds
• Compatibility of smart grid and building management integration

The SICHARG D and Alpha Drives & Switchgear boards work together to create a comprehensive, cutting-edge EV charging system that satisfies the strictest sustainability and performance requirements.

Applications for our distribution boards

Our EV charging distribution panels are designed to satisfy the requirements of a broad range of industries, including public infrastructure, commercial, and industrial. Fleet depots and logistics hubs that need reliable, high-capacity power delivery for fleets of electric vehicles are the perfect fit for them. Their small footprint and simplicity of integration with current electrical systems make them ideal for retail settings like shopping districts and parking lots.

Our panels provide reliable power management for motorway service stations and forecourts, where charging speed and uptime are crucial. Similar to this, our systems are used by apartment buildings and residential developments to provide scalable and user-friendly shared EV charging stations. We also help municipal buildings and business campuses where future-proofing and environmental responsibility’s are top concerns. Every Alpha Drives & Switchgear distribution board is made to order to satisfy the unique requirements of these diverse applications, taking long-term growth, power availability, and load profiles account.
