KEB Powersafe™ Distribution Board - Essential for all power critical installations.

The KEB Powersafe™ Distribution Board allows your licensed electriction to change indivdual circuit breakers without shutting down the switchboard*

K E Brown has employed innovative power monitoring technology to radically expand energy efficiency and systems security for industries with load capacity such as data centres, ”green” technology buildings and process control centres.

The benefit of this monitoring technology is that switchboard controllers can see exactly how much power individual circuits are drawing, enabling them to achieve load-based cost allocation, overload protection, lead management and load balancing. PowerLogic SMS Software helps minimise energy costs, reduce peak demand charges, reduce power factor penalties and ultimately downtime.

Powersafe Distribution Boards use Schneider Electric Logic family H704 series branch circuit monitors to measure the individual current draw of each breaker in a distribution board, rather than the collective draw created by boards that may include dozens of such breakers. The H704 solid-core Modbus RTU branch circuit monitor updates power usage data about once a second , helping to safeguard security of data processing and industrial processing operations by determining precisely the level at which current draws in individual circuits should provide alerts to operators and when they should close down an operation to prevent damage. Such fine control also greatly facilitates trouble-shooting in commercial, retail and industrial data control and intelligent building processes.

One immediate benefit is that the technology enables users to accurately bill clients according to exact power usage in their sub-circuit, which is a radical improvement. Individual sub-circuits can, for example, represent individual clients in data processing applications or individual building or factory functions in an intelligent building. This helps operations managers target problems and prevent energy waste.

In 2008, K E Brown’s innovative power monitoring technology was a finalist in Australia’s premier manufacturing awards, The Endeavour Awards, sponsored by Manufacturers Monthly.
