Schneider Electric has launched a new circuit breaker – the MasterPacT MTZ Active. The product enables customers to respond to complex daily challenges, including 24/7 uptime demands, spiralling energy costs, and urgent calls for sustainable practices.
MasterPacT MTZ Active features an electrical control unit that serves as the brains of the breaker, allowing facility managers to monitor and measure power use in real time. The product comes equipped with features such as Native ERMs (Energy Reduction Maintenance Settings), which sets a new benchmark enhancing the protection of maintenance operators against arc flash hazards, the company stated in a statement.
Nikhil Pathak, Vice President, Power Products and Digital Energy, Schneider Electric, Greater India stated, “MasterPacT MTZ Active will empower operators to visualise and monitor their energy consumption in real time. This real-time insight will equip businesses to optimise energy management, reduce consumption, minimise waste, and ensure business continuity and enhance reliability.”
He further added, “A more electric and digital world is key to addressing the energy and climate crises. In industries such as Healthcare, Food and Beverage, Life Sciences, Data Centre, Buildings, etc., power is becoming more distributed and increasingly complex to manage. We have an existing legacy of 35+ years in designing and making air circuit breakers for safety and security. MasterPacT MTZ Active is our latest offering to accelerate energy efficiency coupled with high reliability, optimising asset life without compromising on functionality or safety.”
In response to circuit breaker trips caused by overloads, short circuits, and equipment ground faults, the control unit of MasterPacT MTZ Active has introduced a QR code solution. “This innovative feature allows operators to swiftly access guidance tailored to the specific root cause of the trip by scanning the QR code. In the event of an overload, the solution provides clear instructions to evenly redistribute loads across circuits, eliminating the need for time-consuming manual searches,” explained Pathak.
