SIVACON S8 Planning Principles –
System-based power distribution
4
SIMARIS planning tools
The SIMARIS planning tools by Siemens provide efficient
support for dimensioning electric power distribution sys-
tems and determine the devices and distribution boards
required for them.
• SIMARIS design for network calculation and dimensioning
• SIMARIS project for determining the space requirements
of distribution boards and the budget, and for generating
specifications (bills of quantities)
• SIMARIS curves for visualising characteristic tripping
curves, cut-off current and let-through energy curves.

When a power distribution concept is to be developed
which includes dimensioning of systems and devices, its
requirements and feasibility have to be matched by the end
user and the manufacturer. We have prepared this planning
manual for the SIVACON S8 low-voltage switchboard to
support you with this task. Three principles must be ob-
served for optimal power distribution:
• Safety - integrated
• Economic efficiency - right from the start
• Flexibility – through modularity
Comparable to a main artery, electric power supply consti-
tutes the basis for reliable and efficient functioning of all
electrically operated facilities. Electrical power distribution
requires integrated solutions. Totally Integrated Power (TIP)
is a synonym for integrated electrical power distribution
(Fig. 1/1) in industrial applications, infrastructure projects
and buildings.
