Low Voltage Distribution and Protection

Ensto’s low voltage (LV) distribution and protection solutions are meticulously engineered to safeguard electrical circuits and transformers from potential damage due to load imbalances. These solutions ensure the reliable distribution of power to various users, facilitated by the installation of LV panelboards within medium voltage to low voltage (MV/LV) substations. 

In order to guarantee continuous electricity distribution, Ensto  has been providing protection solutions for MV/LV overhead transformers in rural environments for over 40 years. This protection is made possible by the use of pole-mounted circuit breakers or fused protection units. These specific products, adapted to significant load unbalances, guarantee total use of the installed capacity, even in unbalanced states. 

Ensto’s commitment to quality in their LV distribution and protection solutions underscores their dedication to creating safer, more efficient electrical networks. By adhering to stringent safety standards, Ensto helps to ensure that electrical systems operate smoothly and securely, meeting the diverse needs of various applications and industries.

Solutions dedicated to protection and distribution

Pole-mounted circuit breakers

Ensto’s pole-mounted circuit breakers are designed with air-breaking technology, ensuring reliable interruption of current flow upon detection of faults by protective relays. These circuit breakers are essential components in low to medium voltage transformers, particularly in rural areas.

They play a crucial role in maintaining the continuity of electricity distribution, even under unbalanced conditions, thereby enhancing the stability and reliability of power supply networks.

Ensto’s pole-mounted circuit breakers are designed to withstand the most severe conditions and are tested in accordance with international standards. These devices are installed outside and fixed to the middle or top of the pole. Its location makes it more difficult to access and less susceptible to vandalism and fraud.

Pole-mounted fuse protection

The protection and management of MV/LV transformers in rural areas requires the use of specific devices like pole-mounted fuse protection adapted to significant load imbalances, and thus guarantees complete power usage even in unbalanced conditions. 

The pole-mounted fuse protection for the LV overhead lines is an essential component to ensure the safety and reliability of the electrical network. The choice of the device directly depends on the power of the upstream transformer. Depending on customer connection needs, several options are available:

  • Single-output box with one protection: This model is designed for power ranges from 50 kVA to 100 kVA, offering an efficient solution for small to medium-sized installations.
  • Dual-output box with two protections: Suitable for power ranges from 100 kVA to 160 kVA, this box allows for the management of larger installations with enhanced protection.

The installation of the pole-mounted fuse protection is simplified thanks to a support that is systematically provided, making it easier to set up in the field. Additionally, even with the protective cover removed, the box maintains an IP2X protection rating, ensuring optimal safety against direct contact.

The products help to optimise continuity of service, reduce maintenance costs, and, most importantly contribute to customer satisfaction.

Distribution Panelboards

LV distribution panelboard Ensto's distribution panelboards are designed to be used in conventional 
MV/LV substations, to provide protection for LV outgoing feeders with 400, 630 
and 1000 kVA transformers and distribute power to various users.
