First, the need to install more 690V transformers due to the derating of switching devices in fault duty when operating at 690V. Second, it''s necessary to use a 400/230V system to power small
If you''re an energy project manager, installation technician, or sustainability-focused engineer, you''ve probably faced the "Transformer Dilemma" – how to efficiently assemble bulky energy

Using 690V for industrial low-voltage distribution networks to lower investment costs and improve network efficiency. The most commonly used voltage in industrial facilities to power the low-voltage electrical distribution system is 400V, and in rare cases, 220V three-phase.
With regard to the "ampacity" of cables, the use of 690V motors involving lower load currents than 400V, allows for a reduction in the cross-section of the cable conductors (keeping the same voltage drop in both cases) and cable power losses.
The upper size of the motor to be powered at 690V can be individualized by setting, at the motor start-up, the same maximum voltage drop accepted for 400V motors (max 200 kW), also taking into account the equivalent impedance of the power transformers.
The ABB MNS® low voltage distribution board and power cabinet are a new set of modular and multipurpose low-voltage products. As a member of the ABB MNS family, this particular product is widely used in the lower-level power distribution facilities with MNS® low-voltage switchgear in the following industries:
