Rittal Corporation announces its latest innovation in power management—Ri4Power. Rittal's Ri4Power concept utilizes the flexibility of the Rittal TS8 modular enclosure platform to create compartment-based load isolation for low-voltage switchgear components. Because of this TS8-based design, assembly is fast and easy (1 man assembly is possible), and the compartments can be configured to almost any size to accommodate motor starters, drives and other controls while, at the same time, incorporating an optional integrated busbar system (up to 1600A) that is isolated and has high short circuit current resistance (SCCR).

Ri4Power boasts a global design that has IEC type testing in-place and UL 508, 845 and 891 approvals pending. Because the components are physically separated within different compartments, the risk of personal injury from touching active terminals is greatly reduced which is a major concern when the entire switchgear installation cannot be shut down for routine maintenance or repairs. The Rittal Ri4Power concept provides greater efficiency and safety through improved design compared to conventional power management strategies.
