Schneider Electric, the leader in the digital transformation of energy management and automation, has announced the launch of the new PrismaSeT LV switchboard for its EcoStruxure Power architecture.
PrismaSeT is the optimised, tested and BS EN IEC compliant solution, based on more than 30 years of experience in low voltage switchboards.
In response to the need for superior operational safety, the new PrismaSeT switchboard is designed to enhance fire prevention with BS EN IEC 61439-1 & 2 type-tested functional units, and optional, innovative PowerLogic HeatTag sensor.
The robustness of the new panel has been significantly improved to gain efficiency at every level and provide peace of mind to panel builders, electrical contractors and facility managers. Reinforced frames and doors make it easier and safer to operate and maintain the LV switchboard and ensure its durability in any environment.
The new design of PrismaSeT is elegantly minimalistic and modern to increase customer satisfaction.
To improve on sustainability at all levels, Schneider Electric has eliminated the use of plastic packaging for the PrismaSeT switchboard. The new green packaging decreases the quantity of waste and its disposal cost by using only recyclable cardboard.
By offering customers new and simple architectures for switchboards, Schneider Electric is striving to provide increased safety, power availability, and sustainability through actionable insights. The goal is to provide customers with modularity in installation, where design and technological upgrades are simple to deploy, to ensure the continuous improvement of their buildings. Thanks to modular design, PrismaSeT switchboards can be modified easily to integrate new functional units as needed.
New generation of ComPacT breakers
Schneider Electric recently unveiled a new generation of its trusted ComPacT moulded-case circuit breakers, featuring a refreshed design tailored for operational excellence and major simplification of maintenance activities.
The ComPacT range is now connectivity-ready, and modular plug-and-play accessories expand the capacity for advanced monitoring capabilities. This design breakthrough comes in a unit that is the same shape and size as its predecessor — making it easy to retrofit breakers already in use and giving customers the option of expanding the capabilities for ComPacT trans-generationally to unleash digital intelligence. An additional improvement to the design is the introduction of a semi-transparent front faceplate. This innovation makes it easy to see at a glance that all components and auxiliaries are correctly installed.
Connectivity also revolutionises and enhances installing, maintaining, or upgrading the all-new ComPacT range. New wireless auxiliaries give users improved insight into their electric distribution system to maximise power availability. By putting data in the hands of users anywhere, anytime, for increased monitoring and decision making, this advancement redefines how we work in the IoT age.
PowerLogic HeatTag
The PowerLogic HeatTag sensor is a revolutionary new product designed to provide fire prevention for switchboards. Its proactive heating detection technology drastically reduces the risk of fire.
Through an artificial intelligence algorithm, this wireless sensor continuously analyses the air inside the panel in real time to detect any cable overheating. When an anomaly is detected, long before a fire starts or smoke even appears, a notification is instantaneously received by the facility manager, on their smartphone or Building Management System.
A simple, but very effective way to drastically improve the safety of buildings and facilities that takes full advantage of being connected to the Schneider Electric cloud.
