Low Voltage Distribution

Get reliable and efficient power supply with Himel Low Voltage Distribution System

Electricity is one of the most important resources for modern societies. As the demand for electricity increases, it becomes necessary to build additional infrastructure to meet growing needs. This includes building new power plants, installing new transmission lines, and upgrading existing infrastructure.

This is where the distribution system comes into play. Power distribution systems play a vital role in delivering electricity safely and efficiently to customers. They are responsible for providing electricity to millions of people around the globe.

A low-voltage distribution system is used to transmit electricity over long distances. In addition to being economical, low-voltage distribution systems provide several advantages. For example, they allow for smaller wires, thus reducing the risk of damage caused by lightning strikes or falling trees. Additionally, they require less maintenance and offer lower operating costs.

Himel offers a comprehensive product portfolio of reliable and safe low voltage distribution electrical products. This article breaks down the different devices, how they work and why you should buy Himel low voltage distribution products.

Air Circuit Breakers

Circuit breakers break up the current to safeguard your electrical systems from harm due to overload. This circuit breaker uses air instead of oil. They have two types of contacts. The significant contacts, made of copper, carry the expected load.

In contrast, the second pair, made of carbon, is the arcing contact. Air circuit breakers work with low voltage distribution, below 15KV and 500MVA.

Since they use air, they are a safer option. You prevent the risk of fire that may occur with oil circuit breakers. You are also assured of convenience, as they need less maintenance.

Himel offers you a wide range of air circuit breakers, depending on your needs. We have over 300 air circuit breakers with different specifications.

Molded case Circuit Breakers

Molded Case Circuit Breakers (MCCB) are installed in the low voltage distribution system to protect against current overload. They work by ensuring that the standard operating current does not exceed 50%.

MCCB has two major components, the surge arrester, and the shunt trip mechanism. The two components work together to protect your system. With MCCBs, you get several years of service, as they can handle many operation cycles.

Automatic Transfer Switch Controllers

After sensing failure, Automatic Transfer Switch Controllers function by transferring the power supply from the primary source to the backup source. The device activates a backup power source till power returns.

The Himel ATS provides a reliable intermediary between the power supply and equipment. It is a programmable controller with competitive functions such as;

Automatic measuring Digital communication LCD menu display

Himel’s ATS controller has minimal human error as it allows for automatic settings. When purchasing, consider the nature and size of your operation. For example, low voltage system in commercial use can stand a few seconds of interruption. But, a hospital cannot handle any interruption. ATS alleviates such issues for seamless operations.

Isolating Switch

A low voltage distribution system uses an isolation switch to disconnect particular sections of a high-voltage network. An isolating switch has a similar working principle to a circuit breaker. The main difference is that it breaks the circuit in the off-load situation.

This device facilitates flexible switching points. An isolating switch can be manual, semi-automatic, or fully automatic. Himel offers you high-quality isolating switches with a customization option at affordable prices.

Fuse for Low Voltage Distribution

A fuse disconnects a circuit when the current exceeds a pre-set value. You should select one with the proper voltage, interrupting rate, and ampere rating.

The fuse speed is also an important component. You may consider a fast-blow fuse that opens fast before the other devices get too hot. Time-delay fuses can carry a specific overcurrent over a particular time without opening.
