Distribution boxes – gesis® RAN

From conceptual design to tendering - Our experienced employees also accompany your project on site

• Dimensioning planning
• Design and definition of electrical interfaces
• Installation planning
• Fastening design

Where necessary, we work with our customers to draft the necessary tender texts.

• For public tenders in neutral wording
• In text form (.txt or .docx)
• In GAEB
• By arrangement also in other formats

The necessary documents for the distributors are made available digitally - also in other forms at the customer's request. This saves our customers a lot of detailed work.

• Mechanical assembly diagrams
• Electrical wiring diagrams
• Parts lists

Functional components such as protective switchgear, automation devices and power supplies must be installed in the distribution board.

• Many of our customers, especially from the building automation industry, place their electronics at
• Wieland supplements the distributors with active and passive components to form functional units

To meet construction schedules, we can pick the manifolds along with other components and deliver them to the job site on time.

• For predefined units, e.g. Floors
• Distribution Boxes including external cables, connectors, etc.
• Pre-assembled, external field devices (valve actuators, dew point monitors...)

The distribution boxes are manufactured and unit-tested in accordance with the applicable standards and guidelines.

• Unit testing
• CE marking on customer request
• EMC consideration
• IP protection type consideration

Labeling inputs/outputs and applying labels or identification numbers is essential for the creation and operation of equipment.

• Lettering individual
• Application of e.g. Built-in or preset device IDs
• Application of AKS
• Barcode or QR code creation

• Decentralized installation enables fast commissioning thanks to simple project planning and short installation times.
• Retrofits are flexible thanks to simple and future-proof structures.
• More net usable space, due to smaller equipment rooms. Thanks to decentralization, the automation electronics are not located in the main distribution.
• Three-phase power supply up to just before the consumer, this increases energy efficiency.
• Room automation devices are located in the respective room, fuse elements (MCB/RCB) directly on site.

A distribution board is a switchgear combination according to IEC 61439. The Wieland distribution boxes accommodate all required components of the electrical installation as well as building automation on a project-specific basis. The distributor boxes can be viewed as a black box that provides the appropriate interfaces to the field and management levels.

• Unlike conventional installation, you can lay the lines first and install the distribution box at a later time.
• The robust sheet steel housing protects the sensitive electronic built-in devices even in a harsh construction environment.
• The manifolds can be mounted on walls, ceilings and floors. For easy mounting, the attachment is made by means of keyholes placed in tabs.
• The pluggability of the installation makes it fast, easy and safe.
• Mismating is avoided thanks to the coding of the installation connector systems.

Our distribution boxes are CE certified.

Opening the system manifold does not invalidate the CE marking. However, if you make changes to the distributor, such as to the conductor cross-sections, the certification will expire.

The distribution boxes are subject to a type test, which includes EMC, temperature, IP, the IK test and the corrosion test. In addition, a routine test is carried out, which consists of a visual inspection, a short-circuit and polarity reversal test and a continuity test.

A functional test can be performed at the customer's request.

• If required, the distributors are delivered to the construction site fully parameterized and can be put into operation directly without any further on-site measures.
• The functional test is carried out by means of test plugs.
• The pluggability of our distribution boxes means that individual components can be easily replaced.

Due to our pluggable electrical installation with the gesis® installation connector system, the distribution boxes can be replaced easily and quickly. The existing infrastructure is used for this purpose.

1. IDEA
Innovative solutions are required for future-oriented building planning. A decentralized and possibly pluggable installation offers you a lot of flexibility and should be considered. 
2. CONCEPTION
For presentation to builders or decision makers, we will be happy to prepare a concept for you.

Technical Contact: 
Tel. +49 951 9324-996  / E-Mail: building@wieland-electric.com
Contact your local contact via our head office
Tel. +49 951 9324-0  / E-Mail: info@wieland-electric.com

3. CONCRETIZATION 
You are already in the preliminary/design phase: We support you in the implementation of your concrete planning up to the cost estimate and finally to the tender.

4.TENDERING AND QUOTATION 
As soon as the tender is on the market, the executing companies receive the quotations from us - and can apply for the execution . 

5. ORDER
The executing company confirms the correctness of the planned execution by signing the manifold plans .The production of the manifolds is initiated.

6. DELIVERY 
The piece-checked distributors, possibly with additional commissioning, are delivered to the desired address as agreed.

7. FURTHER SERVICE 
If further aspects should arise, our team on site and in Bamberg is available foryouat any time .  
 

What does a building installation with our products mean for you? 

1. BASIC OVERVIEW 
First of all, a few basic questions should be clarified.

• What functions are to be integrated?
• What electronics will be used?
• Which room units will be controlled?
• What construction space is available or will be needed?
• Will the plant installation be pluggable?

2. CONSULTATION APPOINTMENT 
Contact us and arrange a consultation appointment with us. During this appointment necessary details can be clarified. The goals of the appointment include the specification of the distribution box, the definition of the tender text and a cost estimate.

But we will also talk about the following points:

• Determination of the electronics and internals
• Determination of the connection type
• Planning the distributor size and material
• Optimization of distribution variants and quantity structures
• Determination of accessories such as connectors or assembled cables

3. TENDER 
You tender the manifolds and accessories.

• You receive a cost estimate from us
• We compile the tender texts - with pleasure also neutrally
• We handle the queries from installers

4.EXECUTION 
The executing company orders the required components.

• Appointment of the Wieland project manager
• Preparation of the layout plan and EPLAN
• Final approval of the distributors by signature of the executing company
• Production and routine testing of distribution boxes in accordance with applicable standards and guidelines
• Handover of documents and plans to the contractor

1.EXCELLENCE 
You create the cost calculation.

• Requesting a quotation from Wieland in accordance with the invitation to tender
