Schneider Electric's compact NSX solution

August 2011 Electrical Power & Protection

Schneider Electric South Africa has announced its MCCB Compact NSX 100-630 A, an optimum measurement and communication solution that meets energy efficiency challenges through optimised consumption, increased energy availability and improved installation management.

The device’s roto-active contact breaking principle provides better limitation and endurance performance, offering very high breaking capacity in a small device and exceptional fault current limitation for extended system life. It also offers a reduction in installation costs and users can expect a substantial saving.

Integrated monitoring is via the micro-logic electronic tripping device with next generation sensors and its originality lies in the way the Compact NSX measures, processes and displays data, either directly on screen, on the switchboard front panel, or via a monitoring system.

Installers can mount and wire Compact NSX in the same way as the Compact NS, which makes engineering for a retrofit or extension simple. Additionally, the integration in help software – for parameter settings and switchboard installation – eases design. The device’s limited torque screw system also ensures proper installation of the tripping device, whilst its transparent sealed flap protects access to tripping device switches and prevents settings from being changed.
