To assist industries in addressing contemporary energy challenges and ensuring uninterrupted business operations, Schneider Electric, a global frontrunner in energy management and automation, has announced the introduction of its premier MasterPacT MTZ Active circuit breaker in West Africa.
New Standards in Safety, Efficiency
This digital solution establishes new standards in safety, efficiency, connectivity, and sustainability. The Offer Manager for Power Products at Schneider Electric West Africa, Opeyemi Olaniyan, stated that the MasterPacT MTZ Active is specifically designed for the current electrified and digitized landscape, where operational continuity is critical and energy management has grown increasingly intricate.
Intelligent Circuit Protection Crucial
He pointed out that while the availability and reliability of power continue to be significant concerns across various sectors in West Africa—ranging from small-scale manufacturing to large industrial complexes—the necessity for intelligent circuit protection is crucial.
He remarked, “The MTZ Active’s MicroLogic control unit, for instance, delivers essential, real-time data, empowering facilities to manage load variations and restore power more quickly following outages. ”
What Experts Are Saying
“The MTZ Active includes fully integrated wireless communication, enabling the circuit breaker to connect effortlessly via Bluetooth, Near Field Communication (NFC), Zigbee, and even cloud gateways.
“In contrast to conventional systems that necessitate wired infrastructure, this breaker can communicate wirelessly through the Zigbee communication protocol, making it suitable for decentralized settings or facilities modernizing outdated systems,” he added.
Regarding its safety features, he stated that the MTZ Active emphasizes safety with its Energy Reduction Maintenance Setting (ERMS), an integrated feature designed to safeguard against arc flash risks.
