Safe, economical planning of electrical systems

Wherever systems need to be supplied with energy over long distances, energy bus systems offer a solution. When projects are being designed, whether they are warehouses, distribution centres or airports, the planning and – more importantly – the acceptability of the electrical systems can be a major challenge for project planners and designers. If the components used have the necessary approvals, the effort involved can be considerably reduced.

Wieland Electric now has a fully and coherently documented installation system. UL 2875 certification of the podis® 5G6 power bus systems makes it easier to approve electrical installations on site, both in Europe and North America. The inspector gets internet access to all of the approval papers, not only cutting down on inspection time and labour, but eliminating the danger of rework or new installations.

In addition, project-specific calculations may be readily completed in the simulation software podis plan, then added to documents as wire diagrams and calculation tables.

The project duration can be better planned and the risks associated with the project budget can be reduced. The UL1277 TC-ER approval also allows flat cable to be installed without the use of expensive cable protection equipment, such as tubes or sheaths, saving both material and time during installation.

Wieland Electric's podis® energy bus system provides an intelligent installation solution that benefits from the coordinated interplay of connection modules with penetration contacts and the associated flat cable. Because taps can be set at any time and in any position, the electrical installation can be easily, flexibly, and quickly adapted to changing requirements.

The podis® system has a wide range of applications, from intralogistics and conveyor technology to mechanical and plant engineering and production lines in the food and automotive industries.
