Electric Distribution Cabinets are an integral part of electrical equipment. EDCs are designed to receive and distribute electric current and protect against access to hazardous equipment at various facilities. They maintain the stability of power grids and the safety of maintenance.

EDCs: Modifications

  1. Electric Distribution Board is used for large facilities where power distribution over long distances is required.
  2. Control Cabinet provides control of equipment such as ventilation, pumps, or machines.
  3. Input and Distribution Panel is used to provide input and distribution of electricity within the facility.
  4. Low-voltage Switchgear is used for power networks with voltages up to 1000 V.
  5. Modular cabinet allows you to scale the system according to the needs of the facility.

Electric Distribution Cabinets (EDCs): Field of Application

EDCs are included in a mandatory list of equipment for residential buildings and complexes, shopping centers and office buildings, transportation infrastructure, agricultural facilities, etc. All industrial enterprises need to install such equipment as well

EDCs: Features

Radiy, a Ukrainian designer and manufacturer of electrical equipment, has an excellent reputation and a large portfolio of completed projects for the industry in general and for the energy sector as a major customer.

Importance for the Energy Sector

The EDCs and RPA (Relay Protection and Automation) are designed to provide protection against short circuits, overloads and other emergency modes of operation of high-voltage power lines, power transformers (including autotransformers), reactors, busbars and equipment of busbar switchgear at power plants and substations. The design of each sample takes into account specifics of the industrial conditions.

Technical Specification of Industrial EDCs

The main argument in favor of installing these cabinets is that the cabinet casings have a high degree of protection. In addition, EDCs are designed for high current loads required to power large equipment such as machine tools, pumps, or conveyors. This meta cabinet is resistant to extreme conditions (it can operate in a wide temperature range, is protected from dust and moisture, and is mechanically strong and corrosion-resistant).

The cabinets contain automatic circuit breakers, short-circuit and overload protection devices, emergency shutdown systems, indicators and overvoltage protection relays. The equipment is delivered ready for installation after passing all functional and qualification tests.

Integration with Automation

Cabinets contain components for process control as required:

  • Programmable logic controllers
  • Data acquisition modules for monitoring and analysis
  • Remote control systems.

Ease of Maintenance

The design provides easy access to all components for quick repair or replacement. Labeled terminal blocks and cable glands are also provided for easy connection.

18 years of Implementation Experience

Within the period from 2006 to 2024, Radiy manufactured and supplied over 4,000 EDCs to all Ukrainian NPPs and Kozloduy NPP, Bulgaria. In some supply projects, the company's specialists also performed installation works. Statistics speak for themselves: not a single serial sample has ever failed. This is especially true in the extremely difficult conditions of military threats to Ukraine's energy systems.

Compliance with Standards

The company manufactures cabinets for industry in accordance with international and national standards, which guarantees their safety and durability. Electric Distribution Cabinets are reliable solutions for arranging the power supply and managing energy resources at any facility.
