Technical information

For many designers, the engineering of a suitable
lighting control system has become a daunting
task. The designer must balance space constraints,
equipment/installation costs, maintenance and
operational concerns, while ensuring a code-compliant
installation. Fortunately, the Powerlink
®
G3 lighting
control system addresses concerns by:
Using standard lighting
panelboards
All Powerlink G3 components mount in the panel
just like a standard circuit breaker. Documenting
your control system layout is as simple as indicating
which branch circuits are to be controlled.
Saving space
Since the lighting control system is located inside
the lighting panelboard, valuable wall and oor
space is available for more productive uses.
Schneider Electric also offers space-saving, column-
width panelboards and exible modular panelboard
systems.
Complying with codes
With today’s high available fault currents, it’s
extremely important that your system meets code
requirements. The Powerlink G3 system is fully UL
listed and meets NEC
®
110.10 requirements.
Building Integration & Control
Today more than ever, building owners and facility
managers want to get the most out of every dollar
invested in their building infrastructure. Powerlink
lighting control systems integrate easily with other
building systems as part of an energy management
system or building automation system, supporting
common open protocols such as BACnet
and Modbus
®
. Compared to standard lighting
panelboards, Powerlink lighting control systems
typically achieve enough energy savings to pay for
the panelboard many times over.
