Circuit breakers set new benchmarks
Schneider Electric has launched its new Compact NSX range of Moulded Case Circuit Breakers to deliver new levels of performance and intelligence in a familiar small package. With options for monitoring and communication functions, the new range of Compact NSX circuit breakers is ready for current and future needs. Setting a new standard in its class, protective functions are enhanced and for the first time both energy consumption and power can be monitored at the device.
The originality lies in how Compact NSX measures, processes and displays data, either locally on an integrated LCD display, remotely on the switchboard front panel using the functional display module, or via a gateway to the monitoring system. It is compatible with Schneider Electric's Power-Logic monitoring software which provides users with parameter sets and tools for comprehensive monitoring. The range of Micrologic electronic control units, typically used for selective and enhanced protection and measurement, now integrates next generation sensors such as an 'iron' sensor for the electronics power supplies and 'air' sensor (Rogowski Coils) for high bandwidth current measurement. Electronic protection modules incorporate three LEDs to give an immediate and clear visual indication of operational status with instant fault identification.
Compact NSX is far more than a circuit breaker. It lets operators optimise the management of their electrical installations and meet customer needs by optimising energy consumption, increasing supply availability and improving electrical installation management.
