Tasked with supplying a new switchboard for a critical application at the SELCHP energy recovery plant owned by Veolia Environmental Services, switchgear expert EMS Limited of Aylesbury decided that a design based on Eaton’s Moeller MODAN modular switchboard system would ideally suit the application.

Four digital and analogue I/O modules and three CANopen modules are the latest additions to the popular range of Easy control products from Eaton’s Moeller Business. The new modules further extend the versatility of the Easy system, which is already well known for combining ease of use with flexibility and value for money.

Precise, stable tripping characteristics, large setting ranges and very low heat dissipation are among the key benefits of motor protection circuit breakers in the new Moeller PKE range from Eaton. Incorporating electronic overload protection, these new devices cover the range 0.09 kW to 34 kW with just three base units and five control units, greatly reducing the number of variants that users need to stock.

The double-T profile bars used in Eaton’s new Moeller SASY 60i modular busbar system not only dissipate heat efficiently, allowing current ratings up to 1600A to be offered by exceptionally compact assemblies, they also minimise the number of busbar supports needed to achieve high peak current ratings, thereby saving even more valuable panel space.
