Digitalization You can enjoy the benefits of digitalization with SIVACON 8PS busbar trunking systems in every project step – from planning and installation to operation. SIMARIS software tools efficiently support your planning, e.g. with SIMARIS sketch design routing diagrams in 3D for the BD01, BD2, LD, LI, and LR systems. A digital twin of the busbar runs are generated from BIM data. The BusbarCheck app guides you through the installation process.

SIVACON 8PS: Tools for the digitalization of power distribution

SIMARIS design, SIMARIS project, SIMARIS sketch: SIMARIS software tools help you with the digitalization of power distribution.

powerline technology Innovative powerline technology enables SIVACON 8PS busbar trunking systems to transmit both energy data and energy economically, safely, and reliably with plug-and-play functionality. Energy data is easily transmitted to higher-level automation and energy management systems and to cloud-based systems (IoT). Data and current are transmitted via the same conductors or phases of the BD2, LD, and LI busbar trunking systems.

Why are the SIVACON 8PS busbar trunking systems better than cables?

Decentralized power distribution using busbar

Centralized power distribution using cables

	SIVACON 8PS busbar trunking systems	Cable
Conformity with standards	• Design verified in accordance with IEC 61439-1/-6 • High current carrying capacity, operational safety and short-circuit rating	• Individual solution: compliance with standards much more difficult to prove (for example, considerating of derating factors)
Fire load	• Very low	• Very high depending on cable type
Flexibility in the event of changes, expansions or the relocation of load focal points	• Very high flexibility thanks to variable tap-off units, which can be modified, added or replaced as required, even while energized. According to EN 50110-1 (VDE 0105-1); please always observe national regulations/standards. • No downtimes • Adaptable power supply	• High efforts: Replacement of existing devices or expansion with additional tap-offs in the switchboard and the associated modifications in the cable installation • Long downtimes • Rigid power supply
Space requirements	• Very low thanks to compact design, with contours matching the building structure • Smaller installation surface thanks to reduced size of central switchboard	• High due to bending radii, laying method and -accumulation • Larger installation surface of the central switchboard due to integrated protection devices
Trouble shooting and error correction	• Easy, thanks to clearly arranged installation and switching devices close to the consumers	• Time-consuming - due to less clearly arranged installation, and switching devices far away from the loads
Electromagnetic influence	• Low influence due to suitable arrangement of conductors and metal housing	• Relatively high for standard cables • No defined arrangement of conductors
Installation time	• Short installation time	• Long installation time
System configuration and operation (system lifecycle)	• High level of safety and availability thanks to pre-configured and standardized tap-off units • Planning: safety in quality and costs • Installation: plug-and-play, easy configuration changes • Operation: design-verified, standard/modular system for easy configuration changes, maintenance, and spare part management	• High effort for cable installation and centrally arranged protection and switching devices • Planning: Detailed planning and budgeting required in advance • Installation: Changes on site or later during operation are complicated, and larger installation surface is required • Operation: Configuration changes are possible only when the system or complete sections are shut down, according to EN 50110-1 (VDE 0105-1); please always observe national regulations/standards.
Connection to cloud (IoT), automation, and energy management	• Simple and cost-efficient integration thanks to standardized powerline technology	• Complex due to installation of parallel communication cables
