Next-Generation Power and Lighting Board Range
Hager has launched its next generation Power and Lighting Electrical Distribution Boards, designed to offer greater configuration flexibility and increased energy consumption data transparency within commercial buildings.
Enhanced Power & Lighting Board | Hager
The recent increases in energy costs have seen an uplift in the application of solutions installed throughout commercial settings which can reduce a building’s power consumption. In addition, building regulation changes and long-term government decarbonisation pathways are seeking to further improve the energy efficiency of buildings, and drive the specification of sustainable solutions that underpin the UK’s 2050 net-zero carbon emission target.
Hager’s new Power and Lighting Distribution Boards deliver an innovative, reliable, high-quality, and flexible electrical distribution solution for easy installation and the delivery of energy data insight within commercial premises.
Energy data Transparency
The new Hager Power and Lighting Boards - available in 125A and 200A ratings - are based around a new energy meter, and enable building owners, managers, landlords, and tenants to better understand where energy is being consumed, and potentially wasted. The boards provide access to improved and simplified energy monitoring and the integration of the associated data into a commercial building’s environmental monitoring or building management system.
The new board uniquely provides load-type labelling on the meter to easily identify small power (SP) and lighting (LL) circuit electrical parameters. This helps electrical contractors and system integrators to select the correct registers and associated values when integrating the energy data into the EMS/BMS systems and, ultimately, provides improved transparency around energy consumption. Alongside energy data transparency, board aesthetics are also optimised with the attractive Hager glazed door design ensuring the board can be on view within commercial premises.
Flexibility
Available as a standard 125A two-section Power and Lighting board, or an innovative three-section 200A rated board, providing set-up options that enable the board to be used in different operating mode configurations, whilst retaining the correct labelling of load type on the meter. The 200A board can be organised in a pure Power and Lighting or Lighting and Power orientation. However, it can also be configured to monitor 4TP ways for Mechanical services, where required, creating a market-leading and flexible solution that can be adapted if some Mechanical Service circuits need to be added in the future. In this arrangement, all three net energy group values are available to view or communicate to a monitoring system. Total board energy parameters are also available, making this a very versatile standard Power and Lighting board range.
The new Hager Power and Lighting Distribution Boards also offer:
-
- A fully verified DBO to product standard BS EN 61439-3 for assured performance.
-
- The ability to directly label energy values makes it easy to correctly identify the values of a specific load type.
-
- Factory fitted switch disconnector incomers fitted on both the 200A and 125A board options to speed up installation and simplify ordering.
-
- The opportunity to add standard surge protection kits as an accessory, with solid copper earth links for - improved Up performance of the SPD function, improving the protection of downstream sensitive electrical products.
Mike Lawrence, Commercial Building Solutions Consultant for Hager, comments: “With a need to ensure energy is consumed as efficiently as possible, it is vital building operators can access accurate and timely information for building-related energy monitoring and use. Doing so allows them to make informed decisions around how to make efficiencies and cut increasingly expensive energy bills. Our next-generation power and lighting electrical distribution boards for commercial buildings meet this need with options for 200A and 125A installations.
“We have also ensured the new Power and Lighting Boards are visually attractive and provide market-leading flexibility in terms of configuration options.
“With future-proofing an important consideration for commercial building operation, the new 200A boards can be seamlessly adapted to cater for and monitor a number of Mechanical service loads, if required, by simply changing the meter mode setting.”
