Siemens SENTRON ECPD

The Siemens SENTRON ECPD (electronic circuit protection device) electronically switches off circuit faults if errors occur and, if necessary, trips the mechanical isolating contact downstream. Up to now, this sort of disconnection has been handled purely through electro-mechanical elements.

With SENTRON ECPD, multiple product functions are combined in the one device. New functions can be activated on the ECPD via the SENTRON powerconfig app without having to purchase a new device and functionally adapt it into the circuit.

The ECPD can be adjusted as required and adapts to the requirements of each application, eg, with regard to rated current, tripping limits or behaviour. This means circuits can be designed based on the rated current of loads instead of the significantly higher inrush current peaks that occur briefly with certain load types, such as LED lights.

SENTRON ECPD offers full transparency on energy consumption in the final circuit through radio-based communication with the SENTRON Powercenter 1000 and 3000 gateways. Remote diagnostics and remote switching can be carried out during normal operation as well as in the event of a fault.
