ABB Distribution Solutions LV Switchgear / Motor Control Systems - 1

MNS MNS Rear Access
MNS Front Access
MNS is an industrial low voltage switchgear and motor control centre MNS-Up
platform suitable for all applications such as metal, pulp and paper, food MNS PDU
and beverage, chemical, oil and gas, power plants, offshore and marine
installations, as well as where the requirement is to guarantee maximum
safety standards, together with plant availability, flexibility and maintenance
simplicity.
Footprint optimisation is guaranteed by the possibility of having both front
and rear access configurations, with or without stacked air circuit
breakers. Wall standing and back-to-back installations complete the offer.
The MNS platform is designed to comply with maximum safety standards
to minimise personnel risks, even in case of incorrect operations with
both passive and active protections.

MNS Digital

MNS Digital is a scalable, modular, low voltage smart switchgear with
connected intelligent features that enable remote operation, monitoring
and condition-based maintenance.
MNS Digital can connect to the ABB Ability cloud platform and also to a
local SCADA system. Fully leveraging ABB Ability, MNS Digital offers
customers insights into their operation by making data and information
available to any connected device or plant.
MNS Digital can connect to the ABB Ability platform via the MNS Digital
smart devices in the switchgear. The uploaded signal data can then be
interpreted by applying Big Data methods. This will enable predictive
capabilities, so instead of post-mortem analysis, ABB Ability enables higher
availability and optimised operating cost.

MNS-Up

MNS-Up innovation integrates uninterrupted power supply (UPS) and
switchgear technologies into a single and compact system. The system
comprises ABB’s Conceptpower DPA 500 UPS and ABB’s MNS
switchgear with Emax2 circuit breakers. MNS-Up’s modular design
expands in 100 kW steps so that companies just pay as they grow. Each
frame of the system can support up to five 100 kW UPS modules and up
to six frames can combine to provide 3 MW of backup power supply. For
more power, further systems can be installed in parallel.
ABB can install MNS-Up in whatever configuration works best in the space
available – L-shape, U-shape, straight lines or back-to-back – and all
without external bus ducts or cables. By integrating proven UPS and
switchgear technologies into a single, modular system, MNS-Up saves
space, time and money.
MNS-Up enables users to save up to 10% capital in electrical infrastructure.
It requires up to 30% less space compared to traditional architectures and
can be up and running as much as 20% faster due to reduced installation
and commissioning time.

MNS PDU / MNS Compact

Based on the MNS front access design, key to the success of the ABB
PDU is the flexibility it provides to the Data Centre Operator by allowing
Single Pole Solid Neutral (SPN), Single Pole Switched Neutral (SPSN), 3
or 4 pole modules of different current ratings to be mixed and matched in
the same PDU. Safe working whilst live removes the need to power down
even when adding, removing or extending the number of outgoing ways.
When the process of the Data Centre changes, the PDU can change with
the process; this flexibility provides huge operational cost savings.
ABB PDUs have been in service for over 25 years and during this time
they have been re-configured to meet the ever-changing needs of the Data
Centre Operator.

Commercial Switchgear

ABB is completing its portfolio with sub distribution switchboard solutions
designed to optimise cost and dimensions for all the lower performance
requirements.

Package Substations

ABB places emphasis on packaging the key elements of an installations
power requirement such as MV Switchgear, Transformers and LV
Switchgear. By utilising low energy and compact devices housed in
systems that are tried and tested to the latest national and international
standards, ABB can offer solutions to meet the most stringent of power
requirements including Packaged and Containerised solutions.

of experience, diversity of customer base and application knowledge make throughout the equipment’s working life.
Power Capacitors Ltd the first choice for consultants, contractors, FM These services are offered on all Power Factor Correction and other Power
companies and end users alike. Quality equipment, regardless of manufacturer.

PFC – Power Factor Correction

The use of capacitors to supply reactive power and achieve Power Factor
Correction is a well-proven technology, and one offered by Power
Capacitors Ltd for over 45 years. An acknowledged market leader, the
BlueLine PowerCab and PowerCabPlus are supplied in standard and
bespoke designs for every requirement in every industry.

AHF – Active Harmonic Filters

Active Filters are able to almost instantaneously measure and compensate
for the harmonic currents emitted by today’s high efficiency and energy
saving devices. Keeping the supply voltage ‘clean’ keeps loads running
reliably for longer.
Active Filters can also be used to supply reactive power and to correct the
imbalance in unbalanced loads. The improvements in supply security and
the reduction in energy costs are welcomed in every application.
Every modern Industrial, Commercial or Residential installation would
benefit from the application of a suitably rated, well specified and properly
commissioned Active Filter system.

HPQ – Hybrid Power Quality

The HPQ solution involves the seamless combination of both PFC and AHF
devices into a single system, where both power factor and harmonic
distortion are both controlled by a single piece of equipment. This offers a
two-fold advantage of not only achieving all the Power Quality and Cost
Saving benefits of both technologies, but by only installing a single system,
the initial costs and return on investment are both improved.

UPQ – Uninterrupted Power Quality

Traditionally, extremely sensitive loads such as Data Centres and Medical
Facilities would be protected by Power Factor Correction, Active Harmonic
Filters and an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS). The UPQ system
combines all these functions into a single piece of equipment, with the
expected reduction in size and cost at the time of installation.
Once commissioned, the offline nature of the UPQ solution, when
compared to a typical online UPS system, can result in energy savings
amounting to many tens of thousands of pounds per annum.

ESS – Energy Storage System

The commercial and technical benefits of Energy Storage Systems are
being recognised and adopted at an exponentially increasing rate across
all market sectors.
All sites with embedded generation are able to maximise the commercial
gain from their generating equipment whether solar, wind, hydro or biomass.
Industrial and Domestic loads with clearly defined periods of peak
consumption are able to reduce their energy costs by employing peak-
shaving techniques.
Larger sites with suitable energy storage systems and grid connections are
able to earn revenue by employing Demand Side Response strategies such
as Frequency Regulation, Voltage Control and Demand Reduction.

8 - Uninterruptible Power Supplies

ABB Industrial Solutions

For customers who need full availability and fuss-free operation, ABB offers
a comprehensive portfolio of UPS solutions. ABB’s solutions are based on
strong and stable architectures that make sure your important application
is supported by the very best power protection system, ready to step in
and take over at the first sign of trouble.
Our uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) and ancillary products cover a
wide range of applications and power – from small offices to large data
centres. And for each and every user ABB's mission is to provide power
protection that ensures the highest availability and the lowest cost of
ownership.

Stand-Alone UPS

TLE Series™

From 160 kW to 1,200 kW single module UPS’s, providing up to 7.2 MW
in parallel redundant architecture, with up to 96.5% online efficiency using
the latest 3 level technology, making the ABB TLE SeriesTM UPS one of
the most efficient and reliable three-phase UPS systems, providing
best-in-class efficiency, output performance and critical power protection
for your critical power needs.

PowerWave 33

PowerWave 33, an online double conversion UPS, delivers continuous
power availability to network-critical infrastructures of both data centres
and process control environments. Offering maximum power protection,
the PowerWave 33 has a small footprint and uses less energy than
comparable products – thus delivering significant savings. The PowerWave
33 is available over a model range of 60 kW to 500 kW and can be
configured to operate as a single, standalone UPS or as a multi-cabinet
UPS system with up to ten UPS cabinets connected in parallel, achieving
a total power capacity of up to 5 MW.

Modular UPS

True “online-swap” modularity enables the safe removal and insertion of
UPS modules without risk to the critical load and without the need to either
transfer it onto raw mains or remove power from it. Modules can therefore
be replaced or added without any system downtime. It is simple to upgrade
power capability as critical load power requirements grow. Additionally,
modules can easily be removed for service or replaced if faulty, without
compromising the availability of the system. Only a truly redundant
architecture like Decentralized Parallel Architecture (DPA) allows online
modules to be swapped out while the system is running.

DPA UPScale ST

ABB’s DPA UPScale ST is available for high density applications requiring
an all-in-one power protection solution that includes frame, UPS, battery
and communications. The solution delivers power protection from 10 kW
to 200 kW in 10 kW or 20 kW modular steps. For a continuously growing
midsized infrastructure, DPA UPScale ST can be paralleled horizontally to
increase the capacity up to 400 kW. This fully scalable and easily
maintained UPS gives you unparalleled uptime and energy efficiency.

DPA 250 S4

The DPA 250 S4 has a high-efficiency, modular architecture that offers
best reliability for environmentally conscious organisations that also need
zero downtime and low cost of ownership. The DPA 250 S4 is specially
designed for critical, high-density computing environments such as small-
to medium-sized data centres. The DPA 250 S4 sets the standard for the
next decade of UPS progress with advanced features such as its
transformer-free IGBT converters that feature three-level topology with
interleaving controls to enable market-leading efficiency of 97.6 percent
for the UPS module. This high efficiency reduces operational costs and
minimizes environmental impact.

DPA 500

A data centre with full uptime. That target is why ABB’s Conceptpower
DPA 500 is based on Decentralized Parallel Architecture (DPA). Only a
truly redundant architecture like DPA allows online modules to be swapped
out while the system is running. Each high-reliability, standardized module
is self-contained and can be swapped at any time, so nothing has to be
ever switched off – making routine maintenance safe and easy. And if you
want to increase power, the UPS can be scaled vertically in 100 kW
modular steps to provide up to 500 kW power in a single frame. Horizontal
scalability is also given, with up to six frames in parallel, to increase total
power up to 3 MW.

The Edge in the palm of your hand

Edge computing is becoming a regular feature of today’s IOT network
strategies. The explosion of data processing requirements has caused
providers to rethink how to position themselves in this rapidly developing
market.

Edge data centres are generally smaller facilities that exist at the edge
of the internet network. They are designed to deliver seamless, ultra-low
latency computing of large volumes of typically real time data as close to
the source as practically possible.

Typical examples of Edge data centres might include those for localised
traffic management of autonomous vehicles or for faster transfer of
recreational video traffic across the cellular network.

Fifth generation mobile networks with their much faster data transfer rates
are being used to extend the reach of the internet with data transfer
speeds approaching those of hard-wired systems and Edge computing
will be the interface between those networks and Cloud computing.

Edge data centres will be located in all manner of places and often with
extremely rapid deployment.

Simplicity, reliability and resilience will need to be the hallmarks of any
Edge data centre.

For Edge data centres to economically provide more expansive services
on an on-demand real-time basis, they must be unmanned, exhibit
extremely high availability and offer remote access to monitor the
performance of the supporting infrastructure.

The Piller CPM 300 has been designed to address the UPS demand in
an Edge data centre and is matched perfectly for use with a modern
generator or for standalone operation.

It offers a one box solution with built-in dependable energy storage and
state-of-the-art efficiencies in all operating modes. Batteries are not
required, eliminating one of the more intense maintenance elements of
other systems, the operating temperature range is wider, often eliminating
the need for additional cooling and the system can be rapidly deployed
without the need for any additional assembly.

And finally, the user can securely access the operating status of every
Piller CPM through the use of mobile IOS and Android devices, anywhere
in the World, anytime.

Release the true potential from your CHP in Gas Engine
Island Operation UBT+2250 UBT+2250 2 x 4.5MW
2 x PB21 2 x PB21 Diesel Engine
Grid Stabilisation Case Study 2 x 2.25MW
Grid Stabilisation System
Requirements Critical Load
• Site import capacity limited <4.5MW which is less than a third of 13MW

maximum site demand UBT+ with Kinetic / Battery Energy Storage

• Attenuation of Fault current contribution to grid due to limited capacity UBT+ with PB60
in the local area
CleanSource XT Range
• Integration of CHP to reduce emissions from plant utilising gas engines CleanSource XT Range

• Connection includes a 1MW export capacity allowance

Considerations
System integration must allow parallel operation with grid while limiting
any potential fault current contributions but still allowing the export of
excess generation.
The CHP utilises gas engines which require stable loads. The system
application is a production facility with potentially large step loads which
could cause instability issues and potential tripping.
System still to be able to function when in island mode to maintain stable
operation of the gas engines without the stability of the grid.
Offer potential ride through to allow alternative embedded diesel
generation to be used in the event of CHP failure.

Solution
2 x 2250kW Piller UBT+ units with 42MJ of ride-through energy operating
within 11kV network as a parallel pair to offer power conditioning of the
incoming supply, isolating harmonics and disturbances on the grid from
the critical site supplies.
The UBT+ module integrates between the mains supply and the site
generation. This offers a form of isolation between the site generation
and grid achieving attenuation of faults between systems.
The stored energy within the UBT+ Kinetic Energy storage can be rapidly
deployed via bi-directional converters to stabilise the frequency of the
11kV site network during loads steps in island operation. The technology
allows for easy export of power while providing ultimate power protection
to site critical loads with embedded gas generation.

Power Factor Correction Solutions - 19

ABB Power Quality

Power quality is a major concern for utilities, industry, commerce and
transport.
Power quality issues can cause hours of downtime, lost productivity, low
energy efficiency and potentially the need to prematurely repair
equipment.
ABB offers a complete power quality service for networks from low (LV)
to high voltage (HV), including site surveys and consultancy to diagnose
power quality issues, as well as the power factor correction (PFC) and
active harmonic filtering equipment to resolve problems.

Why poor power factor (PF) matters to you

A site’s Power Factor (PF) is the ratio between the useful work done by
a site to the total energy consumed.
It is a measure of energy efficiency and ideally should be one (unity),
although is often much lower – sometimes down to 0.5. Low PF also
impacts network reliability and uses up capacity that could otherwise be
used to support new loads.
ABB’s specialist technicians can visit customer sites across the UK to
carry out a free, no-obligation site survey and make recommendations
for Power Factor Correction (PFC) equipment.

Harmonics

Harmonic currents can cause unacceptable disturbances in your supply
network and adversely affect the operation of electrical equipment. ABB’s
power quality specialists can carry out harmonic studies of the network.
If harmonics are present, we offer suitable capacitor and active filter
solutions.

Power Quality Solutions

ABB has a range of well-proven PFC solutions based on capacitor banks
which are ideal to provide a fixed or stepped PFC solution. In addition, it
offers dedicated passive and harmonic filters.
However, some applications are experiencing rapid changes to PF at the
same time as harmonic currents and imbalanced loads.
As a result, ABB has launched the new PQ range of multi-functional power
quality solutions that provide variable, fast, smooth and accurate
compensation for power quality problems.

• Easy to install with options for a wall-mounted, standalone cabinet or a
module to integrate into a panel

• Enhanced wireless communication features

• Compact size makes them ideal for applications where space is scarce

• PQflexC for stepless & variable power factor control

• PQdynaC for ultra-fast reactive power & load balancing

• PQactiF for active harmonic filtering of up to 25 harmonics simultaneously

• PQstorI energy storage inverter

• PQoptiM as well as control & monitoring of power quality parameters

The DSP Series surge arrestors are a robust Class II arrestor (8/20µs)
available in single and three phase configurations. The units feature a
two stage arrestor that gives your system double the protection of normal
“plug in” surge arrestors. This allows identification of the possible lack of
protection to be caught early and preparations made for the replacement
unit to be installed (all while the system is still protected). Suited to all
commercial/industrial projects as well as schools, hospitals, etc.

SPM Series Type 2 (Class Il)

Featuring a pluggable surge protection module, the SPM Series of
arrestors are ideally suited for most commercial/industrial applications.
The pluggable aspect allows the replacement of the modules without
having to disconnect cabling. The units are rated at Class II protection
levels (8/20µs) and can be configured in various formats to cater for most
earthing systems (TNS/TNC). With a DIN rail mount and each module
being DIN width, placement of arrestors in consumer units and Type B
distribution boards is easily achieved.

T3SP1/1.5/3.0/230S Type 3 (Class IlI)

A Class III surge arrestor that is a flexible solution to protecting individual
pieces of equipment. Perfectly suited to protecting ring mains and
individual sockets, switch fuse spurs, lighting, fire alarm panels, CCTV
cameras, etc. Its small size means that it can be mounted in confined
spaces and the audible alarm will indicate if the arrestor needs to be
replaced. The T3SP1/1.5/3.0/230S will offer 10m of protection either side
of the device it is installed on.

SPLB1/13 Type 3 (Class IlI)

The ‘Spur Protector’ SPLB1/13 provides an economic means of
preventing damage to sensitive electronic equipment on individual ring
mains from the dangers of transients, which can occur as the result of a
nearby lightning strike or surges derived from the switching of inductive
or capacitive loads.

Lighting Styles

Integrating Lighting into Architecture

Historically the where and how of lighting design within a space is left too
late in the design stage and architects often make engineers aware of
their disappointment when the clean lines of their space are interrupted
by light fixtures.

If the design team work together to integrate lighting into the architecture
at planning stage the results can be stunning, with light fixtures that
become part of the building fabric, and once painted, disappear into the
walls or ceiling, whilst still providing the accent lighting or task lighting
required in the space.

Simply put integrated LED lighting allows the designer or architect to play
with light and shadows to enhance the design rather than detract from it.

Worry not though because offering this flexibility does not have an impact
on the engineer’s work because this solution can still provide the lighting
levels the space requires and remove the discomfort glare associated
with direct lighting.

Practicalities

Working with not-quite-square conditions found onsite is easier because
these plaster and aluminium products can be cut onsite, so everything
fits without compromise. The factory-finished profiles, with knife edge
sharp details introduce a quality every designer or architect would like to
achieve without the compromise of what a tradesman can achieve onsite.

For those who want to move away from the normal “grid” layout there are
products that offer the ability to make curves, circles or pretty much any
shape that would work in the space.

All profiles can be used with several different LED tapes with a wide range
of light outputs and colour temperatures and work with your chosen
lighting control system.

And of course, everything else

With 30 years in the specification lighting industry, Lighting Styles can
assist with all aspects of lighting from simple ground lights to elaborate
chandeliers, we will work with you if you need design help, or if you would
like us to achieve a specific project requirement.

30 - Lighting Controls

TheisCraft Lighting Controls

TheisCraft designs, manufactures and supplies lighting control systems,
modular wiring and commercial lighting to the commercial and high-end
residential sectors.
In today’s demanding market, the need for expert lighting control has
never been more important. Building regulations, BREEAM and the
appetite for green credentials requires that consideration is given to
proven energy conscious lighting and lighting control.

Commercial Lighting Controls

Fully addressable and networkable, industry leading RAPID meets the
most demanding lighting control and energy management applications
cost effectively.
Control your lighting environment to ensure the building is as energy
efficient as possible whilst providing a comfortable environment through
use of daylight linking, presence / absence detection, scene setting,
circadian rhythm and addressable DALi/dsi or 1-10v dimming.

Area Controller

The Area Controller allows all LCMs on a floor to communicate with each
other and enable communication between floors and/or a Head End PC.
The Area Controller also allows the system to be sub-divided into different
zones. The built-in Time Scheduler with battery back-up allows for timed
events e.g. emergency test schedules. We offer integration with other
building systems through RS232, Bacnet and KNX.

8-12 Channel Pluggable RAPID Lighting Control Module

The RAPID Lighting Control Module (LCM) comes as either an 8-12
channel unit or DIN rail mounted module. The standard RAPID LCM has
eight or twelve individually addressable outputs to allow for independent
control of DALI/DSI/1-10v or switching only fittings.

Presence / Absence Detectors

Having lights on in an empty room costs money so we use sensors to
detect presence / absence and automatically turn lights on or off as
required:

• PIR (Passive Infra-Red) Detectors detect change in the infra-red
spectrum from body heat and movement within a defined field.

• Microwave Detectors transmit energy and measure the energy
reflected from objects in the room. They are very sensitive to
movement, operate over long ranges and through glass. They are
ideal for large spaces and awkward shaped areas where fine motion
detection is required.

Modular Wiring

Cabling is a fundamental part of a building providing the connectivity
which is important for reliable performance.
Our structured modular wiring arrives on site pre-wired and pre-tested
where its plug and play format makes it quick and easy to fit, reducing
installation time, minimising disruption at ground level thereby maximising
productivity on site.

iMDB DALI64

Taking the proven nine port MDB product, we offer the option to use the
modular wiring system with a pluggable DALi 64 unit, which simply plugs
into a port on the MDB.
TheisCraft uses a bespoke aluminium extrusion which is cut to size to
accommodate the required number of ports, limited only by the number
of 4mm cables that can be drawn through a 32mm or 40mm copex in
accordance with regulations, and all ports are wired with a home run of
bespoke length.
So, you can install your modular wiring and connect your luminaires at
any time, the lights will turn on without configuration. The DALi64 module
is plugged in and programmed at commissioning stage.

Armoured Leads

Supplied in a zinc coated steel enclosure. We typically provide 3 and 5
Pole Extenders, Male to Free End and Female to Free End.

Leak Detection for Data Centres

Find Leaks Before They Find You!

With the exponential growth of digital data use, cloud connectivity and
evermore digitally-fulfilled transactions, thanks to the rise of the IoT
(Internet of Things), the need for more server rooms with expanded data
storage capacity is rapidly increasing.

Expanded data storage means a greater number of higher performing
servers that generate significantly more heat during operation. This has
led to the vast majority of data centres installing liquid cooling systems
that are able to cool the increased number of server rooms more efficiently.

An inherent risk associated with liquid cooling, however, is fluid leaks –
and this is where TraceTek leak detection systems can have a significant
impact. TraceTek leak detection systems have been implemented
throughout data centres across Europe to protect critical data storage
and prevent application downtime for market-leading, digitally-based
companies.

The TraceTek leak detection technology provides systems that are
simple, reliable and flexible, incorporating digital control panels that
deliver pinpoint accuracy for locating leaks. This means fast and effective
action can be taken to fix leaks and prevent the shutdown of critical
installations.

42 - Fire Performance & Power Cables
nVent PYROTENAX

Setting the Standard in Fire Safety! 1 Fifty Cheapside, London (Photo courtesy of Virtual Artworks)

When designing high-rise residential and complex buildings, engineers
need to ensure that all critical equipment and processes maintain
operational during an emergency situation like a fire.

Life safety systems need to be in place to minimise damages to the
building and emergency processes to be operational, allowing emergency
systems and services to protect human lives.

nVent PYROTENAX mineral-insulated (MI) cables provide circuit integrity
for power and control circuits of equipment such as:

• Motor operated valves

• Fire pumps

• Fire Alarms

• Communication systems

• Emergency lighting

• Emergency power

nVent PYROTENAX cables meet all performance requirements according
to current codes and standards for life safety and firefighting systems and
for fire alarm systems.

Due to its mechanical construction from non-combustible materials and
inorganic and inherently fire resistant insulation, nVent PYROTENAX MI
cables are completely inert and will not contribute to a fire.

The construction consists of non-combustible materials and their
inorganic insulation is inherently fire resistant.

During a fire, some polymeric alternatives – despite being approved by
today’s fire regulatory framework (BS, IEC) – can still burn, causing smoke
and flames to reduce the onsite visibility. Remember that standards
always stipulate minimum performance requirements where in some
emergency situations only maximum performance counts.

Make no compromises on life safety! nVent PYROTENAX is the safest
solution for all types of application, providing complete peace of mind.

nVent PYROTENAX MI fire-rated cables have been installed in thousands
of buildings in the United Kingdom, including:

• Buckingham Palace

• Houses of Parliament, London

• 1 Fifty Cheapside, London (overlooking St Paul’s Cathedral)

• St Paul’s Cathedral, London

• One Finsbury Circus, London

• Heathrow Airport, Terminal 5, London

• The Channel Tunnel & Channel Tunnel rail link - St Pancras, London

And in International Projects:

• Dubai International Airport

• Bahrain International Airport

• Sheraton Hotel, Doha

Ambience

Ambience can be achieved through a combination of external finish and

internal lighting. As standard, two colours are available (RAL 7032 and

RAL 7042) however, you can order any RAL colour. You can also provide
your own design.

Graphics

Revolutionary to the street lighting industry is the ability to add graphics

to the lighting column. The graphic pattern is “locked in” between the gel

coat and the composite material, thus being protected from damage.

Design your own graphics or logo to add to the Composite Lighting Column.

Internal Lighting

Internal LED lighting is a unique function of the Kingsmill Lighting Column.

Enhance the column colour/design and provide stunning featured lighting.

The column itself can be illuminated from inside, providing a pleasing

ambient lighting effect (as well as it being a safety feature, should the

main luminaire fail).

Customisation

Innovative features set the Kingsmill Lighting Column apart. The hollow

composite structure of the Lighting Column can house a wide range of

useful functionality.

Electric Vehicle Charging

Electric Vehicle Charging (EVC) points can be incorporated inside a
composite pole. The composite material is non-conducting and therefore

electrically safe. Many future electric car owners do not have off-street

parking and the presence of trailing cables across pavements are a health

and safety trip hazard. Combining street lighting with vehicle charging

points is a relatively simple and low-cost way of solving this issue.

Enhancing Road Safety

Electrical Safety

Columns are mounted directly in the ground. Glass-polyester composite

is an insulating material. A composite column installed directly in the

ground does not have any metal parts that require earthing. There is no

galvanic connection between the column (directly buried) and active

installation wires or control gear. Even in the case of a damaged cable
insulation, a wet column surface or vandalisation, the buried column does

not create a dangerous touch voltage.

Passive Safety

Passive safety to EN 12767 / 70 NE 2 for motorists and intelligent options Glass fibre
for pedestrians, including lighting, call points and CCTV ensures appeal with polyester resin
to all. The Kingsmill Composite Column slightly absorbs energy during a
collision – after the collision, the colliding vehicle continues but with Glass fibre
with polyester resin
reduced speed. Columns are certified to EN 40-7:2002. Glass mat
with polyester resin
Luminous Coating
Gel coat
The addition of coated glass microbeads on the surfaces of lighting
columns outside schools, hospitals, park entrances and retirement homes
or leading up to pedestrian crossings, will reflect the lights of oncoming
vehicles, thus warning drivers of their approach to areas where children

or the elderly may be crossing.

Luminophore Coating

The column can be manufactured incorporating luminophore. During the
day, the luminophore contained in the column stores light energy from

the sun. At night it releases that energy as light over its surface. This

produces a “delicate light mist” – another attractive landscaping feature.

Luminophore is also stimulated by the lights from passing vehicles thus,

in the case of power outages, the lighting columns and street edges are

still visible to drivers.
