Optimizing operation and maintenance
Keeping the pulse of your system
Intelligent monitoring system
Clear insight into the system
ImpulseCheck is the world's first intelligent assistance system for surge protection in the field of mains protection. The module enables you to measure the remaining life expectancy of every single protective device via a cloud connection and gives you access to new digital services, such as the automated ordering of replacement plugs.
Advantages
Keeping the pulse of your system: measure the status of your system and determine the remaining life expectancy (state of health) of the surge protective devices.
Always on the safe side: standard-compliant status reports, at any time at the push of a button.
Using digital added values and services: cloud-based logging, representation and combination of measured values enable completely new automated processes.
Reliable supply
Powerful performance for individual applications
Power supplies for superior system availability
The powerful QUINT POWER 40 A power supplies ensure maximum system availability, thanks to superior functionality. With a powerful output side, robust input side, and comprehensive signaling, the QUINT POWER power supplies represent cutting edge technology.
Advantages
The innovative PFC (Power Factor Correction) concept enables efficiency to be increased over the entire power range. Benefit from your power supply having an even longer service life.
Without inrush currents, unintended backup fuse tripping is prevented in the event of grid fluctuations. You can therefore install more devices on each conductive path.
Preventive function monitoring signals the loss of a phase in the three-phase grid or a short circuit in good time. Your system will continue to be supplied reliably, whatever the situation.
Transparent energy monitoring
The fastest way to measure energy use
EMpro measuring devices for your energy management
Energy measurement in just three steps
Set up the communication interface, select the power grid type, and configure the measuring input: the EMpro energy measuring devices are configured and integrated into the network within minutes. Save on wiring outlay, thanks to the direct connection of manufacturer-independent current sensors, and benefit from the many practice-oriented web server and device functions.
Advantages
The user-guided installation wizard enables you to configure and start the device up intuitively. You can configure additional devices by simply duplicating the configuration files via the web server.
The Rogowski measuring input will save you a great deal of time during wiring and configuration: you can connect Rogowski coils from any manufacturer on the market directly, which means you can omit the measuring transducer that would normally otherwise be used.
Export the current configuration data along with historical signal and error lists for rapid troubleshooting. Errors and alarm statuses are quickly visible on site, thanks to a color change on the display.
Simple replacement
Modernization made easy
Terminal blocks with Push-in connection
Feed-through and function terminal blocks
In addition to the feed-through versions for two, three, and four conductors, the product range of terminal blocks with vertical conductor connection also includes terminal blocks with function. These include knife disconnect terminal blocks and disconnect terminal blocks with a standardized plug-in zone for component connectors and fuse plugs.
Advantages
PTV terminal blocks bring together the best of two worlds: easy, tool-free conductor connection with Push-in Technology and the straight, clear conductor routing of the screw connection.
Using reducing bridges, potential distribution systems can also be set up as terminal blocks with differing connection technologies and a larger cross section.
The PTV terminal blocks are a part of the COMPLETE line system. They utilize the standardized bridge, testing and marking accessories of this range.
Consistent connections
Compatibility ensures high availability
M17-M40 PRO series connectors
Non manufacturer-specific connections
M17-M40 PRO series circular connectors offer uniform solutions for signal and power transmission. Thanks to the unique ONECLICK fast locking system you can connect your device quickly and safely.
Advantages
Highest availability worldwide: solutions with cross-manufacturer compatibility for standard and fast locking systems.
Secure connection: ONECLICK fast locking system with an optically, haptically, and acoustically clear locking position.

Intelligent charging park management
Integrating future-proof electromobility
The software for your charging park management
EV Charging Suite optimizes charging stations
The scalable software forms the interface between the driver, backend provider, power grid operator, and charging park operator. Integrating real-time data into your energy management system enables, for example, environmentally-sound charging with renewable energy, and ensures that enough power remains in reserve for other consumers. Tailored user roles, intuitive touch operation for charging park customers, and precise billing via the Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP) round off the package.
Advantages
The integrated load management system ensures optimum distribution of the available connected load to all charging points, in accordance with configurable rules. This prevents overloads and safeguards the availability of your charging park.
Configure, control, and monitor your charging park via web browser. Manage users and charging points, release charging processes, and access all data – clearly visualized and ready for export.
You can purchase graded software licenses suited to the number of your charging points. You can easily add new charging points without having to completely reconfigure the system. We provide cost-effective upgrades for larger extensions.
