Surge Protection Device for Public LED Lighting

A Surge Protection Device (SPD) truncates voltage spikes, resulting in a current flowing through the SPD. Because the spike is very short (in the μs range), the energy level of the often considerable peak current is limited.
Surge protection can be achieved with various components which each have their own typical properties and possible applications.

Overvoltage in public LED lighting

LED technology has been strongly on the rise in the lighting industry in recent years. LED lighting’s continually improving quality, low energy costs, and long lifespan play an important role in its popularity. Also the assumption that LED lighting requires less frequent maintenance checks than traditional lighting is considered as a great advantage. Also in the Public lighting market. The question is, however, whether LED lighting’s reputation is justifiable at the moment, considering its young age.

Historically speaking, LED technology is still in its infancy. The vulnerability of the electronics present in LED lighting and related equipment is a point of concern.

Burden of a Current Transformer

A current transformer converts a high primary current with a secondary winding around a magnetizable core to a lower secondary current. A current transformer is passive, therefore no external power supply is connected, and what is secondary connected forms a load for the current transformer. In short, the connecting wires and the connected meter form the load of the current transformer. In technical terms this is called load in VA. This load is of influence on the accuracy of the current transformer.

In the design of the current transformer, internal losses and the external load of the current transformer are taken into account. The current transformer acts as a power source.

A new generation of transformers has arrived

ELEQ presents the new generation of transformers. The Energy Revenue Line is dedicated to revenue metering (billing). With qualities to make not only you smile, but also your engineers and your CFO.

The energy revenue line has several advantages.

The first advantage is the sufficient load at all times. Digitisation and electronic measuring no longer influence the accuracy of the measurement. With those transformers the length and diameter of the secondary cabling have become less relevant and load resistors are redundant. Nevertheless, the load is in compliance with the regulations for kWh meters. As a result, less information is required when ordering the transformer. In short, the transformer range requires lower engineering costs.

Another advantage is the availability of test reports online. Every individually tested transformer is provided with an unique 2D serial number with which the test reports can be found online, which eliminates test reports.

Additionally the transformer range connects easily because of the clear rating plate with complete information. The rating plate includes full technical details according to CE standard, an arrow indicating the power flow direction and a 2D bar code with serial number.

Lastly the transformers are available from stock and guarantee good value for money.

It’s so user friendly it makes you smile!

Shops

Energy savings in retail

Retail shops often use more energy than necessary due to other priorities. When meters will be installed in shops, continuously measurement of the usage is easily possible. Also to pass this information on to the building management system. To install those meters we developed split-core current transformers, smallest IEC transformers to mount on a three phase circuit breaker and our easy voltage taps. 

Depending on market requests, we offer various standard hardware possibilities for energy management purposes in the market. Please feel free to contact us and ask for the possibilities in case you are looking for a custom-made solution for energy management purposes.

Offices

Large energy savings can be achieved in offices.

Office buildings are the users that account for approximately half of the global energy consumption and its associated CO2 emission. Real estate owners of offices with a high-energy consumption must strive to make their properties more sustainable and therefore more economical. The investment in energy management systems ultimately pays off by saving on energy costs. Meters can be installed in a building; these could continuously measure the usage and pass this information on to the building management system. To mount those meters we developed split-core current transformers, small IEC transformers to mount on a three phase circuit breaker and our easy voltage taps. 

Depending on market requests, we offer various standard hardware possibilities for energy management purposes on the market. Please feel free to contact us and ask for the possibilities in case you are looking for a custom-made solution for energy management purposes.

Waste bins

Smart waste bins need a power supply. ELEQ connection boxes.

The world is becoming smarter. Even the waste bins are, equipped now with detectors. These detectors can guarantee a signal, for instance as soon as the waste bin is full, or allowing to compress the waste in it, in order to add more waste into the bin. These smart applications require a power supply.

Depending on the waste bin and the requests, we offer a number of standard possibilities for connecting and if requested also for metering the waste bin. Our standard connection boxes for waste bins are suitable for 400V, 50Hz and are secured up to 25A maximum.

Please feel free to contact us and ask for the possibilities in case you are looking for another solution for connecting your waste bin.

DRIP & DRIS

Route and passenger information systems need a power supply. ELEQ connection boxes.

In order to improve passenger comfort, more and more Dynamic Route Information Panels (DRIP) are installed along ring roads and motorways, and Dynamic Passenger Information Systems (DRIS) for passengers are integrated in public transport. In case of DRIP and DRIS, it is of utmost importance that they can be updated with actual information at any time. This requires a power supply.

Depending on the DRIP or DRIS, and depending on the requests, we offer a number of standard possibilities for connecting and if requested also for metering the DRIP or DRIS. Our standard connection boxes for the DRIP or DRIS are suitable for 400V, 50Hz and are secured up to 25A maximum.

Please feel free to contact us and ask for the possibilities in case you are looking for another solution for connecting your DRIP or DRIS.

Parking meters

Parking meters need a power supply. ELEQ connection boxes.

Parking meters are evolving into smart objects. At first, you could only pay inserting coins, but nowadays a cash machine is often integrated in the parking meter and they are usually equipped with a digital screen. Moreover, linking the car license plate to the parking right is becoming more and more a common practice. Al these functions require a power supply of the parking meter.

Depending on the specifications of the parking meter and the requests, we offer a number of standard possibilities for connecting and if requested also for metering the parking meters.

Our standard connection boxes for parking meters are suitable for 400V, 50Hz and are secured up to 25A maximum. Please feel free to contact us and ask for the possibilities in case you are looking for another solution for connecting parking meters.

Camera systems

Cameras need a power supply to record and display images. ELEQ connection boxes.

As society has an increasing influence on how to fill in public areas and hence also as for the security topics, a growing number of camera systems are installed in outdoor areas. This implies that one or more cameras are mounted on a pole or onto an outdoor wall. These camera systems need a power supply to record visual images and store them. Besides, it is often possible to view these images live or to reproduce them later on.

Depending on the number of cameras and the requests, we offer a number of standard possibilities for connecting and if requested also for metering the camera systems.

Our standard connection boxes for camera systems are suitable for 400V, 50Hz and are secured up to 25A maximum. Please feel free to contact us and ask for the possibilities in case you are looking for another solution for connecting camera systems.
