Static Inverters

Overview The PowerPro EL Ranges are Static Inverter Systems designed specifically for emergency lighting applications according to European BS EN50171 specification. A highly versatile range, not only providing capacity up to 160kVA Allowing Channel to provide an all-inclusive selection of reliable and cost effective products to meet the most challenging of lighting applications.

Features

• Remote Alarm Panel - External panel for monitoring the static inverter • Output Distribution - Internal distribution of the lighting circuits, standard in EL100XA & EL100, multiple outputs are optional • Maintenance Bypass Panel - to provide flexibility during maintenance, service and/or repairs to the equipment. The bypass can ensure that the system is isolated from the critical load whilst work can be carried out • Phase Failure Monitoring - Factory fitted relats to ensure that the system monitors all three phases. Failure of any phase activates the emergency lights. • Sub-Circuit Monitoring - Factory Fitted relays monitor external lighting circuits, if any of the external circuits fail the emergency lights are activiated • Lighting Control Interface - Allows communication via a node/ module to the testing and monitoring systems. • Fire Alarm monitoring - An alarm condition from the fire alarm panel will activate the emergency lights • Night-Watchmen Switch - Enables switching of the emergency lightsfrom a remote location, fail safe in an emergency condition • Timer Control - Solar dials or 24hour timers can be used to activate the non-maintained contractor. • Earth Fault Alarm - Monitoring of battery positive and negative for earth leakage

Our Static Inverter Systems are able to provide the following input and output configurations:

• Single Phase Input : Single Phase Output • Three Phase Input : Single Phase Output • Three Phase Input : Three Phase Output On Mains failure, the system converts DC power from the central battery to AC output. Our systems allow the use of our modern energy efficient luminaires, while our on-line ‘NO BREAK’ inverter systems enable the use of high-pressure discharge lighting.

No-break

We manufacture a “No-Break” Emergency Lighting Static Inverter System that guarantees there will be no changeover switching of the supply to the load on mains failure. The load is totally unaffected by supply variation and is constantly fed with stabilised, smoothed and conditioned power.

Static inverter systems for emergency lighting

A totally integrated, energy efficient cost-effective and unobtrusive solution for all Emergency Lighting situations: • Passive Standby • Active Standby • No-Break for ALL lighting loads including high pressure discharge • All systems can be configured 1:1, 3:1 or 3:3 • Integration with our complementary products for

Emergency Lighting • Optional output current limiters

Passive standby

Our low cost flexible Passive Standby Static Inverter System is ideal for use with fluorescent and incandescent lighting sources. Traditional technology provides proven reliability with one of the lowest component counts in the industry. Low heat output, high efficiency (typically greater than 95% AC-AC).

Conforms with all current relevant harmonised European standards.

Active standby

“Active Standby” is our constantly running, off load, Static Inverter which can be monitored for function at all times – reassuring to know that the system will work when an emergency load is applied.
