In today's fast-paced industrial environments, electrical planning teams need more than just tools;  they need intelligent systems that streamline design, increase compliance, and reduce time-to-quote. Enter RiPower: Rittal’s purpose-built project planning tool for low-voltage switchgear, engineered specifically for planning experts and switchgear manufacturers.

Whether you’re working from a concept sketch or a detailed specification, RiPower gives you a seamless way to configure Ri4Power systems accurately, efficiently, and in full alignment with IEC 61439 requirements.

From Concept to Compliance in One Workflow

RiPower is a cloud-based configurator that walks users step by step through the switchgear planning process, from initial system definition through to complete technical documentation. The tool handles every stage:

• System design
• Device-specific rules for part selection
• Copper busbar calculation
• Assembly instructions and DWG/DXF/PDF drawings
• Verified design to IEC 61439
• Output documentation ready for EPLAN or ordering via Rittal’s online shop

And with an intuitive interface and locally stored data, planning is secure, straightforward, and always in your control.

Built for Productivity

RiPower isn’t just a drawing or layout tool — it’s a fully integrated engineering platform. Users can:

• Define electrical and mechanical parameters
• Configure main busbar and PE systems
• Compile tested Ri4Power sections
• Select from certified components across leading manufacturers
• Calculate rated currents and diversity factors
• Automatically generate design verification documents and parts lists

This structured approach ensures every system is not only functional but also safe, standards-compliant, and optimised for buildability.

What You Get — Instantly

With each RiPower project, you’ll receive a full documentation pack including:

• Detailed parts list
• Section-specific assembly instructions
• Copper connector kits
• Design verification
• Project-specific tender texts
• Technical parameters
• Drawings in DWG, DXF, and PDF formats

Whether you’re preparing for production, tendering, or technical review — everything is ready to go.

Connect to EPLAN. Quote Faster. Build Smarter.

RiPower integrates directly with EPLAN, enabling a consistent digital workflow across engineering and manufacturing. Users can forward data to EPLAN Pro Panel for 3D layout and routing, further improving efficiency and accuracy across the value chain.

Plus, with access to Rittal’s online shop, you can generate instant parts quotes, reducing turnaround times on customer pricing and procurement.
