Electrical powered street furniture – Charging stations

Anyone owing an electric car, motor or scooter can charge his vehicle at a charging point. Charging stations are located on strategical points, such as parking areas and parking garages, but more and more electric cars are now charged at home as well.

Depending on the charging speed of the charging point, the charging station will need a certain voltage supply and consequently needs to be protected by means of an certain amperage. Our standard connection boxes for charging stations are suitable for 400V, 50Hz and are secured up to 25A maximum.

The possibilities for outdoor advertising in public areas is increasing. Thanks to the versatile application possibilities of billboards, information of the advertising world but also information of (tourist) organisations, towns and municipalities can be displayed along access roads, shipping routes or in the town centre. In order to have the various information scrolled automatically on the board, a power supply is mandatory. On top of this, also bus shelters are used more and more for outdoor advertising purposes. Apart from scrolling information, there is often a power supply needed to light the objects.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Wind is the result of uneven warming of the earth by the sun. Wind turbines thus get a rotational movement; this movement can be converted into electricity by using generators. Wind energy is clean, which we definitely needed in order to have a sustainable energy supply in the future. The generated energy is then transported by a network administrator, which ensures it ends up in the grid.

Depending on the required specifications, we offer a number of standard transformers for protection, measurement and revenue purposes concerning energy gained by wind.

Solar energy is energy that is extracted from the heat and light of the sun. For example, by using solar panels. These consist out of rows of solar cells. A solar cell is made of two layers of silicon. When light shines upon a solar cell, there will be an electric current between these two layers. However, this is direct current, and alternating current is needed for the energy grid. An transducer is able to convert this direct current into alternating current. It is possible to convert about 20% of this sunlight into electricity.

Depending on the required specifications, we offer a number of standard transformers for protection, measurement and revenue purposes concerning energy gained by solar.

This type of energy (also called hydroelectric energy) is generated by the height difference of falling water or by the speed of running water. More than 10% of the electricity in the European Union is won by hydroelectric power. On a global level, it’s more than half. Energy is generated from hydropower by the gravity of the water. The harder the water stream, the more energy can be gained.

Depending on the required specifications, we offer a number of standard transformers for protection, measurement and revenue purposes concerning energy gained by water.
