The ALPHA 3200 power distributor

Safe investment. Productivity enhancing. efficient.

Optimized for building infrastructure

The ALPHA 3200 power distributor combines many years of development expertise in the field of low-voltage switchgear with innovative technology for optimal power distribution for applications of up to 3,200 A. Our consistent overall portfolio thus includes installation and power distributors from 160 A to 3,200 A.

Making energy available intelligently

The trend towards "smart buildings" requires flexible and communication-capable energy distribution in buildings. The demands on power distribution - from planning to operation - are becoming ever greater, standard specifications more and more complex. Project cycles and business processes in switchgear construction are accelerating.


With our intelligent products and systems for low-voltage power distribution, we support panel builders in meeting every requirement. Technological competence paired with many years of experience in switchgear construction as well as high-quality, standard-compliant products make the ALPHA 3200 power distributor a safe investment.

 

Investment security through experience

Consistent, coordinated overall system according to IEC 61439

With the ALPHA 3200 power distribution board, we are supplementing our range of ALPHA installation distribution boards and are therefore offering a consistent system up to 3,200 A whose housing and components are optimally matched to one another. The SIMARIS configuration software supports the panel builder throughout the entire course of the project – from planning to operation. The design verification of the switchgear assembly is carried out by testing in accordance with IEC 61439.

Powerful – the ALPHA 3200 power distributor
The main busbar of the ALPHA 3200 power distributor has been optimized for applications in the building infrastructure. In addition, the built-in systems ALPHA and thus the full flexibility of ALPHA were integrated into the system. Furthermore, the larger surface of the sub-conductor system increases the current-carrying capacity.

Innovative and communication-capable components
The innovative protection, switching, measuring and monitoring devices from the SENTRON portfolio meet all the requirements of modern power distribution - whether small design, flexible installation technology or communication capability for more transparency of system states and energy flows.

Simplified processes in switchgear construction
The SIMARIS configuration software supports the quick configuration of the ALPHA 3200 - from the frame to the components, from the power distribution board to the distribution boards and from simple planning to ordering and plant views to documentation in accordance with IEC 61439.

 

Highlights
  • Investment security thanks to technological competence and many years of experience in switchgear construction
  • Increased productivity through economical overall system
  • Efficient with innovative components from a single source
  • Safety for people and system by means of design verification according to IEC 61439-1/-2

Our portfolio offers integrated power distribution for applications in the building infrastructure with the ALPHA power and installation distributors and innovative SENTRON protection, switching, measuring and monitoring devices.

Productivity enhancing up to operation

Simplified processes in switchgear construction
The SIMARIS configuration software supports the switchgear manufacturer's entire process – from project planning to calculation and quotation preparation to system documentation in accordance with IEC 61439. The configuration software includes both the ALPHA power distribution board and the ALPHA installation distribution board.

Time saving through menu-driven configuration
The SIMARIS configuration software can be operated intuitively. Structured menus and the graphic display of the selection options simplify and accelerate configuration.

Planning security through error checking
Errors are automatically displayed during configuration and can be corrected immediately. The intelligent pre-selection of the devices after the function has been determined and automatic placement provide planning security and help to avoid errors. The integrated power loss calculation optimizes the correct planning of the energy distributor.

Convenient preparation of offers through parts list and price calculation
The order number-specific configuration of the devices from the SENTRON portfolio and the integrated price calculation accelerate the preparation of the offer. The copper calculation is also carried out using the software. In addition, the creation of a parts list with a mouse click simplifies the ordering process.

Ready to start quickly with comprehensive system documentation
View drawings such as front or cut-out views in DXF format or DWG format can be further processed in CAD programs, the single-line circuit diagram ensures simple system documentation. Appropriate certificates and test reports are provided in accordance with IEC 61439.

Security through additional tests
The ALPHA 3200 power distributor is a switching device combination with design verification EN / IEC 61439-1/-2 and thus offers safety for people and the system. The mechanical and electrical test cover, e.g. Arc fault tests, goes beyond the standard specifications. All certificates and common verifications are available with the SIMARIS configuration software.

Added value as needed
The ALPHA 3200 power distributor is available pre-assembled with or without copper. Copper drawings can be output project-specifically. This means that production can begin even before the energy distributor is delivered. Depending on the system, the switchgear manufacturer can freely choose his own added value.

Comprehensive support
We support switchgear manufacturers with tailor-made training courses. If you have any questions, our ALPHA 3200 hotline is available.
