Low resistance materials are
selected to reduce the contact
resistance
The Upstream power control
panel is the most“ Sensitive”
circuit in the entire electrical
infrastructure. It is considered to
be the backbone of whole
electrical network. A failure here
would have hard impact on entire
power train, and consequently
may result in prolong outage of
complete Data center or
production facility. The selection
of the suitable Low Voltage
Switchgear is therefore of
elementary importance.
Introducing Emerson EPK series
which is originated out of our
deep understanding to
customers application of
distribution system, providing
customized distribution solution
and reliable power systems for
customer’s critical applications.
EPK series fully complied to
Emerson concept of critical
business continuity which
considers the user’s requirement
for the continuous power supply
to critical load to produce the
“Uninterrupted” AC distribution
system.
EPK series low voltage
switchgear is based on the
advanced low voltage distribution
technology of Emerson, and is
suitable for the AC low voltage
distribution system of 6300A and
below, and can be deployed for
power input, power feeding, bus
linking and illumination and
power load control. In addition,
user can flexibly select fixed type,
drawer type and fixed and
isolated solutions according to
actual requirements.
Solution Classification

Draw- out Type Solution

For the power feeding and load control unit of 630A or below, EPK series
low voltage switchgear can provide swappable solution. When a circuit
needs to be repaired or replaced, you only need to pull out the drawer unit
to perform field maintenance, the power supply to the other loads are not
affected in the pulling out process, which ensures the continuous power
supply to critical loads.

There are vertical buses behind the withdraw able functional unit, and
each withdraw able functional unit connects to the vertical bus through
connectors and connects to the horizontal bus through vertical bus to
distribute power.

Each withdraw able functional unit is isolated through steel board or high
flame retardant insulation materials to improve the operation
independence of each unit and power supply reliability.

Structure characteristics
Flexible installation
Horizontal bus Standard modulus E=25mm, can
flexibly adapt to different drawer units
of various dimensions, realizing wide
application
Compact installation
Neutral bus
Compact structure
Single cabinet can accommodate up to
36 drawer units, effectively saving the
Neutral bus
Vertical bus space in cabinet and footprint
Drawer unit

Bracket Safe operation

There is an unlock confirmation
Cable outlet terminals mechanism when pulling out the
drawer, and the drawer unit has 3
positions i.e "Work", "Test" and "Draw
out" to ensure safe operation.

Reliable protection
PE bus The primary side wiring of the drawer
has safe protective baffle plate, so it is
isolated from hazardous voltage when
it is pulled out for maintenance.
Drawer unit assembly
Online maintenance of auxiliary circuit
Hot plugging can be implemented to the secondary circuit of
meters and indicators when the drawer unit supplies power
online, ensuring the continuous power supply of critical loads.

Online replacement of the drawer unit of

different modulus
User only needs to install or remove the partition board to
expand the capacity of the drawer units without interrupting
the power to the entire cabinet to ensure flexible upgrading.

Online bypass of drawer unit (optional part)

Plug type circuit breaker base can be installed at the rear part of
the EPK cabinet as optional accessories . When maintaining the
drawer unit, you only need to insert the circuit breakers of the
same specifications into the base and close the switch.

Online capacity expansion (optional part)

EPK can use optional part for online capacity expansion to
ensure the uninterrupted power supply in capacity expansion
process.

Customized Dimension
EPK series can be configured with different drawer unit assemblies of
1/4 unit to 2 unit. The standard maximum installation height of single
drawer cabinet is 1800mm, and user can select suitable drawer unit
assembly among the single cabinets according to the current
capacity of different power feeding and load control unit.

Superlative HMI

The PUE Dashboard shows the PUE, Reliability, Energy

consumption, and Alarm information. User can also
generate customized reports in PTM in few clicks! which
will help you gain insight into the various statistics
thereby streamlining your data analysis experience.

Energy, Test, and Event Reports help trigger event

logging, respond to spontaneous events, and produce
complete reports.

They help gain insight into a better understanding of the

Power train and shed light on the following:

• Outage reports

• Alarm reports

• Normal, Emergency, & Total Energy consumption

• Communication settings & Equipment set points

and statistics

• Historical Log reports providing time-stamp event

logs for events at a device and severity level

• Diagnostic reports on equipment

The PTM can be tailor-made to your on-site power systems and provides the Power to Know and Power to
Do which is required for even the most complex on-site power systems.
8E, 16E drawer
Mechanical parts
Drawer unit includes the circuit breaker unit, insulation material
side plate, rear board with connectors, installation bracket of
control terminals instrument indicators secondary side circuit
Safe and reliable operation
Drawer unit has 3 positions of "Work", "Test" and "Draw out" in
maintenance process. With the sliding guide rail of drawer unit
and positioning indicator to avoid the falling of drawer unit, user
can easily complete the draw out process.
Mechanical interlock
The cabinet door of the drawer unit is separated from the drawer
assembly, so you need not to open the cabinet door when closing
the circuit breaker unit.
Fixed and Isolated Solution
EPK fixed and isolated power feeding
solution uses partition boards to isolate
the buses, circuit breaker functional unit
and auxiliary circuit in cabinet so as to
improve the independency of each
functional unit and reduce influence of
arcing caused by opening / closing of
each unit so as to improve the
continuousness and reliability of power
distribution system. The fixed and
isolated partition room is classified into
2a, 2b, 3a, 3b, 4a and 4b types according
to IEC61439-1 and GB7251.1 standards.

8E/4, 8E/2 drawer

8E/4 and 8E/2 drawer assembly structure includes the intelligent
monitoring instrument panel, insulation material side plate, rear
board with connectors and installation parts of control terminals.

The on/off of the main switch in the drawer is realized by the

handle mounted on the panel. The handle has double interlocks
of mechanical and electrical interlocks.

The electrical interlock uses a micro switch with one NO and one
NC contacts to realize interlock. Operating the handle can lock 3
positions of opening, testing and isolating for safety protection.
