DC Grid

The standout feature of our Digital Building Solutions is using Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology to establish an internal direct current (DC) grid. This single change, eliminating the energy losses associated with converting AC current to DC, can reduce the total energy use of a building by up to 25%, significantly lowering operational costs and contributing to reduced carbon emissions.   

What technologies can help create a digital building?

Internal DC grid The reduction of AC/DC conversions within a building creating an efficient and effective power solution with a big reduction in energy and carbon.

 

SELV (Safe Extra Low Voltage) PoE, Utilising the current infrastructure used within the building, enabling a convergence of solutions, ensure the solution installed has the capability to harness the amount or power you want to distribute to your PD (Powered Devices). SELV is part of Voltage Band 1 standard, ensuring no need for electricians.

 

Fault managed Power (FMP) , is a power source that is integrated DC power, safe to touch, built in managed GUI delivering up to 1200watts over a 1 to 1.5km distance dependant on conductor size. it is voltage band one so electricians are not required to install the cabling between transmitter and receiver. FMP can be installed in standard infrastructure, no need to use separated power ducts
