LV Equipment for Industrial Solutions

Our brand history

Today Schneider Electric sells products and services under 120 brands worldwide. The pillars of Schneider Electric are three historic brands: Merlin Gerin, Telemecanique and Square D. In the past 15 years, numerous companies have been acquired by Schneider Electric to win market share by enlarging the offer or penetrating new markets or new channels. A big part of the company’s growth comes from external acquisitions.

Schneider Electric brand migration>

Now is the right time for brand migration

Our new mission is to become the global solution provider in energy management, making energy safer, more reliable, more efficient and more productive. It has to be under one name Schneider Electric.

To better support our global strategy, in 2008 we have begun an ambitious project to shift most of our brands to a single brand: Schneider Electric.

> Our company is moving from a product provider to a solution provider and solutions must be promoted under one brand.> The Schneider Electric name has gained significant respect and awareness over the years.> Recognition of Schneider Electric has surpassed its historical brands in most countries, with only a few exceptions.

A single name and a new image

A new communication platform has been developed and implimented to strengthen our new strategy and to support the brand migration.

The aim is to make the brand visible and to express its vision, mission, spirit and values to our employees, our customers and our partners. The change in look and feel concerns all communication aspects and product packaging and marketing.

> We see a world where we can all achieve more with using less.

> We help people make most of their energy.

> We want all our products, solutions and services to be safe, simple, efficient and innovative.

+Todays Switchboardsare packed with technology...

We are constantly demanding more from our low voltage switchboards.

Todays switchboard is at the crossroad of internal and customer demand for increasingly sophisticated applications on the one side, and external demand related to changes in legislation on the other side.

The switchboard must be capable of adapting to both environmental constraints and difficult operating conditions.

Above all, it must also incorporte the technological advantage to carry it forward into the future.

Field Isolators & Junction Boxes

+All Junction Boxes / Field Isolators are manu-factured to high standards of quality and finish, and are backed up by our excellent reputation and after-sales service.

Junction boxesFeatures

Our junction box range satisfy most requirements in that they are manufactured from a choice of materials which include mild steel, stainless steel or glassfibre-reinforced polyester. A wide range of standard col-ours and specials are available on request. Protection standard of the boxes vary from IP54 to IP65. Dimen-sions vary in accordance with the number and size of terminals, and generous provision is made for cabling spaces and terminations. Trunking is provided for field cabling and the boxes come complete with fixed or removeable gland-plates.

Optional features include drip covers, special door locks and a range of accessories.

Field isolatorsFeatures

Our range of field isolators cover a wide spectrum of applications, with current ratings from 20A to 1250A at 690V. The enclosures are manufactured from a choice of materials which include mild steel, stainless steel or glassfibre-reinforced polyester. A compre-hensive range of accessories are available, including push-buttons, indicating lights, ammeters and termi-nals. Each isolator features a door-interlocked handle and auxiliary contacts to suit requirements. Protection standard of the enclosures vary from IP54 to IP65, depending on application. The equipment used is selected in accordance with IEC60947 specifications and meets local and international standards. Mining type field isolators have removeable glandplates and drip covers.

63A Interlocked Switch Socket Outlets (380 / 525V)

+SPECIFICATIONS IEC 309CEE17BS 4343DIN 49462 SANS 1239

Junction boxesFeatures

Our Socket Feeders are of composite design featur-ing a high-quality steel enclosure to IP 55 degree ofprotection complete with transparent window to check the status of the 30mA earth leakage circuit-breaker which is fully shrouded for protection against accidental contact.

The unit can accommodate cables up to 95mm2. A 10mm diameter brass earthing stud is also provided for termination inside or outside the enclosure. Cable entry is via a removable top or bottom entry gland-plate, with a standard finish of durable epoxycoating in electric orange.

The switch sockets are mechanically interlocked units which are manufactured from cast aluminium and epoxy coated in electric orange, alternately thermo-plastic materials can be used. These sockets are of heavy duty design and are also suitable for outdoor installation, featuring high quality materials through-out.

Special safety feature

An incorporated earth leakage circuit breaker unit will detect a fault and trip to isolate the socket where the actual fault occurs, namely of the plugged-in equip-ment, and not at the distribution board, which may be far distanced. In additon, the tripped feeder will only render one user out of order and not a chain of sockets as in the case where an earth leakage unit protects a chain of socket outlets.

Note

We can manufacture a comprehensive range of feeders to the clients specifications, utilising different makes of circuit-breaker and/or earth leakage unit complete with shunt trip, indication etc.
