ABB Emax 2 Ekip power controller

ABB is helping commercial and industrial buildings optimise power consumption with the Emax 2 Ekip power controller, load management software. It is an exclusive option of the Emax 2, a smart low-voltage air circuit breaker that has been recognised by LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) - a rating system for green buildings.

To manage energy consumption, the power controller switches electricity supply off to non-essential equipment and back on again as soon as acceptable power levels are reached. Intelligent decision-making is achieved with software that uses complex algorithms to decide when it is appropriate to switch the power, while maintaining the overall functionality or productivity of the connected equipment.

Replacing existing traditional breakers with the Emax 2 has the potential to achieve annual savings of 5.8 million MWh. Savings with the power controller can be estimated using the online Power Controller Calculator and more in-depth technical information can be found in the Emax 2 portal.
