C&A Stavros Kassidiaris S.A. certified for the construction of 4,000A power panels.
Since 1978, C&A Stavros Kassidiaris S.A. has been a leading force in the field of automation and power systems, serving both as the exclusive representative of international firms and as a manufacturing company offering a wide range of high-performance products.”
All products designed and manufactured by C&A comply with current quality, safety, and performance standards, and the company ensures continuous monitoring to maintain compliance
As part of its regular efforts to update and validate the quality and durability of its constructions, C&A Stavros Kassidiaris S.A. carried out a series of inspections and tests through accredited laboratories—KDEP (Center for Testing, Research, and Standards) and LABOR S.A.—in accordance with the international standard ISO/IEC 17025:2017
The inspections were carried out on a 4,000A power and automation panel, which was studied, designed, and manufactured by our experienced technicians. Following the initial internal quality control, the panel was thoroughly examined in accordance with the updated EN 61439-1 and EN 61439-2 standards, which define the requirements for low-voltage electrical distribution systems and switchgear assemblies.
The tests required by these standards include:
- • Temperature rise tests
- • Dielectric tests at industrial frequency voltage
- Long-term durability tests of insulating materials
- • Protective circuit effectiveness tests
- • Protection tests against external influences (IP Code)
- • Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) tests
- • Mechanical strength tests
- • Material strength tests
- • Verification of clearance and creepage distances
- • Short-circuit withstand tests
Short-circuit current tests were carried out with a current of 52 kA and a peak current of 124.6 kA. During these tests as well, the panel performed exceptionally and continued to operate without interruption. It is important to note that a particularly high level of structural resilience is required to successfully endure the duration of such a test.
Following all inspections, the panel received full approval and certification.
C&A Stavros Kassidiaris S.A. is the only company in the maritime sector that offers panel constructions with such high test resistance.
For over 45 years, the company has remained competitive and reliable in the market, offering modern products that fully comply with regulations—strengthening customer trust and ensuring the successful completion of high-specification projects.
