VAMOCON 1250 is your switchgear system for economical, compact and resource-efficient power distribution up to 1,250 A: free choice of switching devices, verified safety, less copper and lower power loss. VAMOCON 1250 cubicles are supplied pre-assembled and partly equipped. The copper is always factory-installed, which noticeably shortens your final assembly.
Dispensing with cubicle distribution busbars and mounting directly on the centrally located main busbar saves copper. Because the main busbar itself is more generously dimensioned, power loss falls at the same time: less material and less energy loss together.
Design verification by testing to DIN EN IEC 61439-2. Internal separation Form 2 to 4b for high personnel and assembly safety.
VAMOCON cubicles arrive pre-assembled and partly equipped, with copper installed. This gives panel builders a significant time saving during final assembly.
Designed for circuit-breakers and fuse-strips from ABB, Schneider Electric, Siemens, EFEN, JEAN MÜLLER and Wöhner — no tie to a single manufacturer.
SEDOTEC quality combined with an economical standard solution for price-sensitive applications up to 1,250 A.
Sub-distribution illustrates the consistent system logic: VAMOCON 1250 is the choice for sub-distribution, regardless of whether the main distribution is built with VAMOCON 1250 or VAMOCON 5000.
By dispensing with cubicle distribution busbars and mounting the switching devices directly on the centrally located main busbar (phase-to-phase clearance 185 mm), VAMOCON 1250 requires up to 30% less copper than a conventional switchgear assembly.
Less material means lower resource consumption and a smaller CO₂ footprint in manufacturing. This is also reflected in the price: less copper means lower costs for you. What stays the same is our standard of safety and quality.
The more generous dimensioning of the busbar system reduces power loss by up to 20%. The additional cost of copper is amortised by the energy saved within the first year of operation.
Your benefit in practice: over the average service life of the switchgear assembly you save 3,000 euros in energy costs and 3.5 tonnes of CO₂ per metre of switchgear assembly. The detailed example calculation is available in the download area.
The rated values Inc (rated current of an outgoing circuit) and RDF (rated diversity factor) are designed to give the switching devices and the electronics installed in them a long service life. Because the assembly is not operating at its power limit the whole time, heat generation is lower.
The switching devices themselves benefit first and foremost: lower heat extends their service life. But the whole assembly benefits too, because when a faulty switching device is no longer available on the market after many years, the complete switchgear assembly often has to be replaced. The longer the switching devices last, the longer the assembly stays in operation.
VAMOCON 1250 largely dispenses with full-height plastic covers; the assemblies are built from sheet steel and copper, which is recycling-friendly.
Because the cubicles are supplied pre-assembled, there is considerably less packaging waste than with delivery in individual parts. The sustainable packaging can be reused directly for onward transport to the installation site.
VAMOCON 1250 is prepared for the installation of intelligent switching devices: control and bus lines can be routed into a dedicated control compartment, and cable ducts at the top of every cubicle allow cubicle-to-cubicle wiring.
This makes the assembly suitable for retrofitting or converting switching devices as requirements change in future — an investment that can grow with your needs.
The system allows forms of internal separation from Form 1 to 4b (DIN EN IEC 61439-2) and configurations ranging from free-standing single cubicles and cubicles lined up in rows through to corner cubicles (L- and U-shaped). A wide range of variants enables the most diverse solutions in degree of protection IP 30 or IP 54.
