Guaranteed lifetime
In addition to a safe connection, the Sicuro also enables switching the generator. The generator junction box delivered by Alfen requires no maintenance at all and has a guaranteed lifecycle of at least 50,000 switches; over ten times as more as traditional switches. Using a Sicuro therefore doesn’t only add to reliable generator switching, it also contributes to a significant saving on operational costs.
Unique solution
The product range of Sicuro junction boxes provides for maximum safety and continuity in connecting the generator. Furthermore, the Sicuro is a unique solution in the industry, as it combines various innovative elements:
- A vibration-resistant cable connection
- Maximum personal safety
- Integrated surge protector to protect generator windings
- Integrated voltage and electricity transformers
- Circuit-breaker equipped for 50,000 switches without maintenance
- Suitable for virtually all medium voltage generators
