With Prisma P, 100% Schneider Electric safe and optimized switchboards can be produced.
All the components (switchgear, distributors, prefabricated connections, etc.) are perfectly calibrated and coordinated to work together.
All panel configurations, even the most restrictive, have been tested.
At any time, it is possible to prove that the switchboards comply with the standards in force (in accordance with standard IEC 61439-1 and 2).
This is the assurance of achieving an electrical installation that is reliable in terms of operating safety and security for people and the installation with IP30, IP31, IP55.
LV functional systems
Optimized and scalable
Prisma P makes it possible to produce exactly the right switchboard, dimensioned exactly as necessary with an investment just as necessary.
Thanks to a complete, prefabricated and tested system, the installation can be easily upgraded while retaining its original performance.
- Cells can be combined very easily on a board already in use.
- Devices can be replaced or added at any time.
The switchboard is structured into different areas dedicated to the switchgear, the busbar, the cables, etc.
The functional units naturally overlap in the table.
Each configuration is tested for added security.
Laboratory heating test.
Great availability
With a kit concept, which facilitates handling and transport, it is possible to take advantage of Schneider Electric’s international logistics efficiency.
The Prisma P functional system makes it possible to create any type of general, divisional or terminal low voltage distribution panel up to 4000 A, in tertiary or industrial environments.
Simplicity of the concept
> A metallic structure
It consists of one or more frames associated in width and in depth on which are installed a complete choice of trim panels and doors.
> Un système de distribution de courant. Des jeux de barres horizontaux ou verticaux positionnés dans un compartiment latéral, ou en fond de cellule permettent de répartir le courant dans tous les endroits du tableau.
> Complete functional units
- A dedicated board to install the equipment.
- A front faceplate to prevent direct access to live parts.
- Prefabricated connections to connect the switchgear to the busbar.
- Devices for making the connection on site.
Each functional unit contributes to a function in the table.
They are modular and stack naturally.
Everything is planned for their mechanical fixing, their power supply and their connection on site.
The components of the Prisma P and particularly those of the functional unit have been calculated and tested taking into account the performance of the devices. This special attention makes it possible to obtain reliable operation of the electrical installation and optimum safety.
The advantages of Prisma P tables
> Safe electrical installation
Perfect consistency between Schneider Electric and Prisma P switchgear is a major advantage in ensuring a good level of safety for the installation.
> An electrical installation that knows how to evolve
The modular concept of Prisma P switchboards allows the electrical installation to evolve easily and to integrate new functional units on demand.
Maintenance operations, carried out when the switchboard is off, are quick and comfortable thanks to total accessibility to the equipment.
> In complete safety for the operator
Work on an electrical panel must be carried out by authorized persons respecting all the required safety measures.
To further increase worker safety, the equipment is installed behind a protective faceplate revealing only the operating handle.
Additional internal protections (partitions, screens) make it possible to produce forms 2, 3 or 4, which protect the operators against direct contact with the active parts.
Terminal shields are therefore strongly recommended for installing Compact NSX, INS / INV in Prisma P, for even greater protection of workers.
The design of the system has been validated by type tests according to IEC 61439-1 and 2 standards and benefits from the cumulative experience of Schneider Electric customers for many years.

IEC 61439 standard
Both the energy point of arrival and the distribution unit for site applications, the LV switchboard is the intelligence of the device, at the heart of the electrical installation.
It plays a key role in the availability of electrical energy, while meeting the security needs of people and property. Its definition, design and installation are based on precise rules; improvisation is not in order. The purpose of the IEC 61439 standard is to better define “low voltage switchgear assemblies”, ensuring that the specified performance is achieved. It specifies in particular:
- the responsibilities of each person involved, distinguishing those of the original manufacturer, the organization which carried out the original design and the associated verification of an assembly in accordance with the standard, from that of the assembly manufacturer – the organization taking responsibility for the finished assembly;
- the design and verification rules, constituting a reference system for the certification of products.
All the components of the electrical panel are covered by standard IEC 61439. Equipment produced in accordance with the requirements of this panel standard ensures the safety and reliability of the installation.
Only equipment produced in accordance with the requirements of IEC 61439-1 and 2 guarantees the safety and reliability of the installation.
The person in charge of an installation, aware of the professional and legal risks to which he and his company are exposed, demands a high level of safety from his electrical installation.
On the other hand, the serious economic consequences resulting from prolonged production stoppages require the electrical panel to have perfect continuity of service, whatever the operating conditions.
The Schneider Electric solution
- Prescribe a table in accordance with standard IEC 61439-1 and 2.
- Guarantee 100% validated safety from commissioning and throughout the life of the installation.
- Sustain the investments by upgrading the installation in accordance with the standard.
- The certainty of having a table in accordance with the specifications.
The table tested Prisma
This is a table with proven compliance.
A Prisma array is:
- Made up of Schneider Electric LV components and switchgear all in accordance with their respective standards.
- Established on the basis of the catalog configurations.
- Made up of mechanical and electrical components of the Prisma and Linergy systems having undergone all the verifications of the original manufacturer.
- Fitted and wired by the panel builder in accordance with the rules of the art.
- Subject to individual serial verification.
The project manager has all the means, made available to him by Schneider Electric, to carry out
Prisma tested switchboards: basic configurations of the low voltage distribution catalog, files
necessary for the design and installation of tables, calculation software, design, etc.
He can prove conformity with standard IEC 61439-1 and 2 by presenting declarations or certificates of conformity to type tests, carried out by independent laboratories (ASEFA, ASTA, KEMA, etc.) and supplied by Schneider Electric.
He engages his own responsibility by carrying out the individual serial verification and by establishing the corresponding declarations of conformity.
The IEC 61439 standard clearly defines the type of checks that must be carried out by each of the 2 manufacturers involved in the conformity to the standard of the final equipment: the original manufacturer, guaranteeing the design of the entire system and the overall manufacturer, responsible of the final conformity of the table.
The 10 main functions of IEC 61439
For each of the 10 functions below, the IEC 61439 standard requires system builders to carry out design verifications – essentially via type tests – and panel builders to carry out routine verifications to ensure 3 main functions: safety, continuity of service and compliance to the requirements of the end customer.
– security
Ability to withstand tensile stresses
Withstand permanent voltages and transient and temporary overvoltages in accordance with the principles and requirements of isolation coordination.
Ability to carry current
Protect against burns and resist overheating:
- When any circuit is loaded on its own, continuously, at the specified current.
- When the assembly is charged at the specified current in accordance with the specified load profile (between circuits and / or as a function of time).
Ability to withstand short circuits
Withstand the stresses resulting from the presumed short-circuit current and associated data (high forces between conductors, heating in a very short time, air ionization, overpressure).
Protection against electric shock
- Dangerous active parts must not be accessible (main protection).
- The accessible conductive parts must not become dangerous (protection in the event of a fault).
Protection against the risk of fire or explosion
- Resistance to incandescent internal elements.
- Note: the protection of people as well as optional protection of the assembly against an arc due to an internal electrical fault can be specified by a “special test” according to IEC 61641.

–
IEC 61439-1 and 2 paragraph 11.10
Wiring, operating performance and function
Verification of compliance with plans, nomenclature, diagram, wiring and markings.
Shapes according to IEC 61439-1 & 2
The form of the separation and the degrees of protection must be agreed between the manufacturer and the user.
In most installations, Prisma P cubicles do not require any particular partitioning.
The electrical panel is then Form 1.
In a constant concern for safety, Schneider Electric offers arrangements that go well beyond the recommendations of the standard.
In fact, the protection of people and property is guaranteed from the outset:
- By the presence of the faceplates which can only be opened using a tool.
- By locking the doors sometimes giving access to live parts.
- By systematically installing terminal shields on Compact NSX circuit breakers, as well as on Compact INS and INV switches.
- By a cover of the upstream and downstream ranges of the inlet device, which allows the operator to be in perfect safety anywhere in the switchboard when the device is open.
Prisma P also offers various partitions that allow partitions to be made inside the cubicles, and thus form electrical panels of Form 2, 3 and 4.
The electrical panel must comply with the degree of protection IP2X according to standard IEC 61439-1 and 2.
Shape 2b
Terminals for external conductors separated from the busbars.
Functional units and terminals are separated from the busbar.
Shape 3b
Terminals for external conductors separated from the busbars.
The functional units are separated from each other and separated from the busbars.
The terminals are separated from the busbars, but are not separated from each other.
Shape 4a
Terminals for external conductors in the same compartment as the functional unit to which they are associated.
Shape 4b
Terminals for external conductors which are not in the same compartment as the functional unit to which they are associated, but in protected spaces or separate and closed individual compartments.
Partition Form 1
Covering of the upstream and downstream ranges of all devices.
The protection of people and property is ensured by:
- Systematic installation of terminal covers on Compact NSX circuit breakers, as well as on Compact INS and INV switches.
- Covering of the upstream and downstream ranges of the incoming device, which allows the operator to be in perfect safety anywhere in the switchboard when the device is open.
Partition Form 2
Separation between busbars and functional units
Form 2b partitioning is essential to ensure excellent protection of the installation and of those working in the switchboard.
- Protection against contact with active parts upstream of feeders.
- Protection against the passage of solid foreign bodies.
Added to the original protections (terminal shield, prefabricated connections, etc.), it prohibits all direct contact with live parts.
Partition Form 3
Separation of functional units from one another + Separation between connection terminals and devices
Form 3b partitioning is essential to ensure excellent protection of the installation and of those working in the switchboard.
- Protection against contact with live parts.
- Limitation of the risk of faults between each of the functional units (propagation of electric arcs, etc.).
Partition Form 4
Separation of busbars from functional units + separation of all functional units from one another + terminals for external conductors
Form 4 partitioning is essential to ensure excellent protection of the installation and of those working in the switchboard.
- Protection against contact with live parts and limitation of the risk of faults between each of the functional units (propagation of electric arcs).
In addition to the partitioning of the main busbar (Form 2) and the horizontal screens separating the
functional units (Form 3), the cubicle must be equipped: - Form 4 cable gland plates to make Form 4a.
- Hoods for deferred connection Form 4 to achieve Form 4b.
- Form 4b: the terminals are installed in protected spaces or compartments.
IP30 / 31/55 cells
Thought out down to the smallest detail, Prisma P cubicles allow all common switchgear configurations up to 4000 A.
A reduced number of references facilitates the choice while offering essential functionalities such as:
- Multiple associations.
- Variety and interchangeability of casings, IP30 or IP55 without adding a seal.
- Full accessibility to all switchboard connection points.
- Sufficiently wide cable compartment.
- Height capacity: 36 modules of 50 mm.
With a discreet aesthetic, where the purity of the lines is combined with the softness of the RAL 9001 color curves in the shape of an ogive, Prisma P cells are naturally integrated in all tertiary and industrial sites.
They comply with the IEC 62208 standard.
Around the same frame, all the casing panels (IP30 or IP55) are fixed by 1/4 turn devices.
Electrical continuity is achieved naturally, without the addition of staples or ground braid.
The framework
With closed profiled uprights, the framework combines lightness and rigidity. Its compactness allows a gain in useful volume of about 15%. Very ergonomic, it has no sharp edges.
The assembly, carried out with only 12 directly accessible screws, is particularly fast.
The uprights are provided with wing holes at 25 mm intervals. A starting mark (zero point) allows a meter to be hooked to measure the useful height necessary for installing a device.
Markings installed every 50 mm with a double marking every 100 mm facilitate the counting of modules. A ground fixing device also allows the adjustment of the flatness.
The faceplates are fitted with clip-on grippers with integrated 1/4 turn closure for quick handling and installation.
The sealing function is directly integrated into the gripper fixing mechanism.
Swivel frame support
It allows direct and instant access to the equipment.
Reversible, it is articulated around two pre-assembled hinges.
2 screws are enough to fix it on the frame.
The doors
Solid or transparent, reversible right-left, door assembly is particularly quick and easily carried out by a single person.
The pre-assembled hinges lock on 1/4 turn studs. The handle installed as a block in its location is locked by clipping.
All the attachment points are located at the front of the uprights and leave the useful space free for the equipment.
In width 800 mm, the doors are delivered with a screen L = 150 mm preventing access to the busbar.
The push-pull handle offers a wide choice of locking.
Bottom panels
IP30 panels consist of 2 1/2 identical and interchangeable panels, very easy to handle.
They are extra flat to save floor space.
Openings ensure natural ventilation of the painting.
The IP55 panels are reinforced (IK10), and have centering pins which facilitate their installation.
Side panels
Thanks to their ergonomics and rounded edges, they are very easy to handle.
Their installation is guided from below using the hooking pins.
Like all trim panels, they are very quick to attach using 1/4 turn devices.
The roof
Extra flat panel to allow passage of the switchboard under all the doors, it has 4 openings allowing the lifting rings to pass.
These can be installed and removed without removing the roof.
Cover panels
Front cladding:
- For 650 and 800 mm wide frames.
In front of the swivel faceplate support frame is installed:
– Or a solid door (IP30 or IP55).
– Or a transparent door (IP30 or IP55).
– Or a covering frame (IP30).
- For 300 and 400 mm wide frames.
It is achieved by a solid door (IP30 or IP55).
Rear cladding:
It is made with a bottom panel:
– In 2 parts for IP30 panels.
– In 1 single part, reinforced, for IP55 panels.
It can also be made using a solid door, especially for switchboards with rear connection (depth 800/1000).
Side cladding:
It consists of a set of 2 panels (IP30 or IP55).
In case of a back to back combination (double depth), 2 sets of 2 panels must be used.
Roof
There is a solid roof (IP30 or IP55) for each frame dimension.
Cable gland plates:
They are essential, whatever the degree of protection of the table to be respected.
For each dimension of the frame, there are solid (IP55) or two-part (IP30) cable entry plates.
Degrees of protection
IP30 table:
Use :
- IP30 covering panels with door or covering frame.
- IP30 solid roofs.
- The cable gland plates (solid or in two parts).
