Case studies New Ferryboat Emax 2 for the highest efficiency in panelbuilding The customer I.M.E.S.A. (based in Jesi, near Ancona - Italy) is a company that has been operating since 1972 in the field of electromechanical constructions. IMESA is one of the leaders in Europe in the production of Low Voltage and Medium Voltage switchboards, SF6- insulated switch-disconnectors for internal and external installations for MV, supervision and control systems as well as turnkey electrical systems. The challenge In the context of a diesel-electric state-of-the-art ferryboat, I.M.E.S.A. faced the challenge of creating a switchgear column feeding main distribution and motors- able to: - Be full selective with downstream circuit-breakers (Tmax T4) - Grant a service short-circuit breaking capacity of 50 kA @ 600V AC - Have a horizontal bussing distribution system - Realize the most compact solution compatible with the use of withdrawable circuit-breakers. These requirements originate by the need for extremely compact switchgear, typical requirement that can arise from a marine environment. Saving compared with a traditional solution - 45% in space Thanks to the unique features of Emax E1.2 a reduction of 45% of the footprint of the column was reached. In a footprint equivalent to the one saved, it would be possible to fit one distribution switchboard large enough to accommodate the whole electrical distribution for a 6-story condominium (3 kW per apartment) Emax 2 for the higher...
