The aforesaid guarantees, the high quality and safety of the switchgear while maintaining competitive pricing of the final product. Concurrently the Management of the Company is planning to expand the licensing agreement to include new typical product lines.

The SIVACON switchboard is a type – tested (TTA) low-voltage switchboard, which can be used as a main or alternatively as a distribution switchboard of electrical energy. The SIVACON switchboard is a product of SIEMENS Corporation and Regula Kosice – Joint Stock Company, subsequent to purchase of the license, acts as a “SIVACON Technology Partner”. Because the switchboard can be part of various technological processes (generation of heat, steam, electrical energy; production of steel, glass, chemicals; extraction of gas, coal and etc.), it is therefore considered as a Class “A” electrical equipment.

Modular Technology

Each SIVACON is grouped from standardized and type marked modules. All modules comply with Siemens construction specifications.

The modular technology facilitates optimal adaptation of SIVACON to any requirements.

Standard horizontal busbars are located on the top of the cubicle.

Proposal and production of SIVACON switchboards in CAE – CAD regime

Proposal and production of SIVACON 8PT switchboards has a huge support from the SIMARIS SIVACON software. The program works on the basis of a dialog between the executor and offered options for solution. The forerunner to the actual proposal by means of SIMARIS SIVACON is the evaluation of customer requirements in accordance with the following:

• initial output of the equipment and the manner of feeding, and
• character of exits, for example main lead-out for feeding of the sub-switchboard, motor lead-out or customer solved lead-out with given required output.

Based on the carried out order evaluation, SIMARIS SIVACON facilitates the following:

• switchboard selection base don required output and current, instrumentation selection and type-tested modules, and
• placement of modules into individual fields of the switchboard.

Subsequent to processing of the given data, the program makes available the following documentation:

• frontal view of the switchboard with relevant number of fields including their setting, whereas there is also a possibility of processing the said in AutoCad program, and
• bills of quantities for the mechanical construction of the switchboard, consisting from the frame and covers.

SIMARIS SIVACOM also provides cost calculation, by exploitation of its own data base regarding to production and erection costs and also makes it possible to transpose cost data of electrical instruments from other manufacturers.
