Power with Precision: Why NZ Engineers Are Turning to VX25 Ri4Power for Smarter Switchgear

As the pressure grows for faster installation, greater modularity, and smarter energy management, electrical engineers and switchboard builders across New Zealand are upgrading to the VX25 Ri4Power system. Designed to deliver safe, scalable, low-voltage power distribution up to 6300 A, VX25 Ri4Power merges Rittal’s flagship enclosure platform with a fully modular, type-tested switchgear system.

Built for Flexibility – Ready for Any Application

Whether installed in a substation, embedded in an OEM machine, or integrated into a process plant, VX25 Ri4Power adapts to suit your layout. The modular sections (including ACB, outgoing, fuse-switch, and cable chambers) support internal separation from Form 1 to 4b, while the 25 mm pitch ensures consistent mounting across all enclosure levels. Cable entry from above or below? No problem. Custom copper busbar layouts? Covered.

Full System Integration – One Platform, Endless Possibilities

VX25 Ri4Power combines switching and control in a single platform. It supports:

  • ACBs from all major brands (ABB, Siemens, Schneider, Eaton, etc.)
  • Vertical and horizontal busbar options for custom layouts
  • Internal Form 2b–4b separation for safety and serviceability
  • Direct integration with Rittal’s VX25 enclosure platform for system continuity
  • Energy storage system compatibility (VX ESS) for emerging infrastructure needs

Smarter Planning with RiPower

Project planning is simplified using the RiPower configurator. From generating drawings for copper bar machining to automated accessory selection, RiPower cuts design time and ensures everything fits the first time.


Faster Assembly – Up to 50% Time Savings

Thanks to its pre-punched panels, clip-in partitioning, and pre-engineered copper bar kits, VX25 Ri4Power significantly reduces installation time. Mounting plates, busbars, and compartments slide into place with fewer tools and fewer components. Even safety covers for Form 2b are installed without drilling.


Safety & Compliance – Type-Tested and Certified

VX25 Ri4Power is tested to IEC 61439-1, with options for IP 54 protection and verified accidental arcing resistance. ASTA-certified components and integrated PE/N bar continuity across compartments ensure system safety and compliance from factory to field.

NZ-Ready Support & Customisation

Rittal’s VX25 Ri4Power is locally available in New Zealand through our expert team, with support for layout planning, configurator use, and application-specific design advice.

Upgrade your switchgear systems with a fully modular platform designed for safety, flexibility, and digital precision.
