Hello!
Let me show you how the Acti9 safety system works.
Quick remind you. Acti9 Active system gives a comprehensive visibility to protect appliances, circuits,
people, and assets from electrical faults.
For a system to be Active.
We want to be able to anticipate products and notifiers rights
and for that we need 3 components:
an Active device with a gateway and software to display information.
You can see here an Acti9 Active device,
which comes with in-built connectivity and All-in-one protection against overvoltage,
earth leakage, arc faults, overload, and short circuits.
With the help of this Demo-case, we will see how it works in real time.
Let’s start with earth leakage protection.
We have a residual current test-button here to simulate leakage current.
Now I’ll increase earth leakage current level, just like it can happen when extra electronic loads with residual current are added on the same circuit.
Let’s see what happens!
Now I’ve got a pre-alarm that I reached 70% of the allowed earth leakage limit and you can see that the device has not trip yet.
Now you still have time to perform preventive or corrective actions to avoid a power disruption.
If I do not act and if I continue to increase a leakage current, the product is tripping.
Now, I’ve got an alarm.
You know, the way sometimes appliances can suffer from overvoltage coming from unstable network.
Let’s see how this system will help us in this situation.
We have an overvoltage test here, which I will activate.
And again, if I am keeping increasing the voltage, the device will trip.
In buildings like hotels, hospitals rooms, offices, student hostels, people can bring any type of appliance and plug-in to the socket outlet, right?
Just like, I’m cold here today and I want to use this heater.
And you know, in this situation we never know, sometimes the device could be defective,
sometimes it’s a cable damaged overtime or by a rodent and sometimes the problem could be more in the connection behind the socket outlet.
I want to switch it on. Let’s see what happens here.
This is how an arc fault can happen, a little fire.
This type of fault cannot be detective by traditional circuit breakers or deferential protection;
hence we need a special device that called Arc fault detection device.
And of course, you get a notify about the reason for tripping.
Of course, with all the advanced functions we also have pre-alarms of overload and alarms about overload and short circuits.
So, you might take a second to know all these faults from earth leakage, overvoltage, arc fault to overload and short circuits,
all these are being detecting by a single device Acti9 Active.
As it has integrated RCD, AFDD, MCB and MSU along with connectivity that helps send results to you anywhere,
with a building management system up on your tablet, desktop.
With these pre-alarms and alarms your project safety is more in your control and you can actively make sure you have less power disruptions.
Moreover, do not forget that these pre-alarms are customizable, and you can set a limits for each type of fault at which a pre-alarm will get trigger.
