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.

Replacement of Air Circuit Breakers on Hellenic Navy vessels

Replacement of Air Circuit Breakers on Hellenic Navy vessels

Overview

Several Hellenic Navy vessels, built prior to the year 2000, were experiencing issues with their electrical panels.

Specifically, the generator air circuit breakers (ACBs) manufactured by SIEMENS, with which the vessels were originally equipped, are now out of production and no longer supported with spare parts.

The situation was being managed through frequent improvised and unreliable repairs.

The Hellenic Navy launched a series of tenders for their replacement, but these efforts yielded no results.

Air Circuit Breakers σε πλοία 1

Approach

C&A STAVROS KASSIDIARIS S.A., certified by the Hellenic Ministry of National Defence and NATO for Defence Industry Projects, provided a solution to the impasse by undertaking the supply, installation, wiring, and full commissioning of new air circuit breakers of equivalent capacity to the original ones. The new breakers were manufactured by HYUNDAI ELECTRIC, which the company exclusively represents in Greece.

The work was completed within the scheduled timeframe and without affecting the operational readiness of the vessels.

Similar replacement projects, involving the substitution of outdated circuit breakers with breakers from HYUNDAI ELECTRIC, have also been carried out for other brands of electrical equipment whose products are no longer supported or have excessively long delivery times. In addition to the Hellenic Navy, such installations have also been successfully implemented on vessels in the deep-sea shipping sector.

The C&A Group holds the largest inventory of HYUNDAI ELECTRIC air circuit breakers in Europe and offers full technical support 24/7.

New milestone for Suedlink project: cable production started at French plant

New milestone for Suedlink project: cable
production started at French plant

Prysmian Powerlink CCO D. Waimann: “With 1,200 km of hvdc underground cable, we are advancing the energy transition in Germany and Europe”

MILAN, ITALY – 10/14/2022 – 10:52 AM

With the start of cable production at Prysmian Group, SuedLink, the largest infrastructure project of the energy transition in Germany with a length of around 700 kilometres and 4 GW of transmission capacity, has reached another milestone. Prysmian started the production of a ±525 kV HVDC underground cable system at its French plant in Montereau, which allows a transmittable power of 2 gigawatts on a single system.

The transmission system operators TransnetBW GmbH and TenneT TSO GmbH have commissioned the globally operating cable manufacturer based in Milan to plan, manufacture, deliver and install a 580 km section of SuedLink. It connects Wilster in Schleswig-Holstein via the north-west of Hamburg to the southern connection point in Bergrheinfeld near Schweinfurt in Bavaria. The two transmission system operators have awarded the cable supplies for SuedLink in two lots for their respective areas of responsibility. For the connection from Brunsbüttel in Schleswig-Holstein to Leingarten in Baden-Württemberg the company NKT is in charge.

Space-saving installation with high transmittable power

The ±525 kV underground cables for SuedLink are designed with large conductor cross-sections for high transmittable power over long distances. A particular advantage is minimized space consumption – the ±525 kV technology allows a reduced amount of cable to transmit the same power compared to 320 kV systems, for example. This means less construction effort is required when installing the system, including trench widths.

“We are pleased to now produce a first significant part of the large cable volumes that will drive the energy transition in Germany and Europe over the next few years,” explains Detlev Waimann, CCO Prysmian Powerlink. “Through parallel, early production in several European plants, we can – in coordination with the transmission system operators – optimize the future project processes.”
