Low voltage systems for new industrial buildings
SKS Elektroanlagenbau designs, manufactures, and installs low-voltage systems for new industrial construction projects throughout Austria and internationally. Each system is designed according to the operator’s requirements and built in compliance with DIN VDE, ÖNORM, and the applicable IEC standards.
Scope of services for new construction
A new construction project covers the entire life cycle of the low-voltage system—from the initial concept discussion through to final acceptance and commissioning.
Planning and project engineering
Load-flow calculation, short-circuit current calculation, protection concept, circuit diagrams, and bills of materials
Main and sub-distribution boards
Custom manufacturing—from small distribution boards to switchgear systems for large industrial sites
Protection and switching technology
Circuit breakers, motor protection, overcurrent protection, and selectivity planning in accordance with IEC 60947
Power distribution and measurement technology
Busbar-Systeme, Trafostationen, Netzubergaben, Energiemessung, Leistungsfaktorkorrektur
Cable and wiring infrastructure
Sizing, installation, and documentation of all cable systems for the industrial site
Installation and commissioning
In-house installation teams in Austria and coordination with EPC contractors on international projects

Quality assurance and testing
Before delivery, every low-voltage system undergoes comprehensive electrical testing in our test facility in Fohnsdorf. The following are tested:
- Insulation resistance measurement
- Dielectric strength in accordance with IEC 61439
- Functional testing of all switching and protection devices
- Documentation and test report for the system records
Our in-house test facility, equipped for high-current testing, enables complex systems to be inspected under operating conditions before leaving the site.
