Fewer devices. Less wiring. More space.

Eight devices replaced by one. Commissioning via app in minutes.

Siemens SENTRON ECPD – commissioning via app
Complexity

What makes installation so labor-intensive today.

Space

DIN rail full

16 MW for functions that would fit in 2 MW.

DGUV

Testing every six months

Qualified personnel on site, downtime, recurring costs.

Retrofit

Retrofits become major projects

More functions without space means replacing the cabinet.

With the ECPD

Semiconductor technology. Guaranteed selective.

The SENTRON ECPD switches in under 50 microseconds — faster than any upstream fuse can react.

01 · Selectivity

Guaranteed selectivity by design

Semiconductor-based switching in ~50 µs stays below the response threshold of any electromechanical protective device — the upstream level never trips. Selectivity without tables, without calculations.

Icu = 75 kA · I²t < 30 A²s · 1000× faster than an MCB

02 · Integration

Up to 10 functions in one device

Overcurrent protection (MCB), residual current protection (RCD), SPD tripping, current, voltage, and power metering, remote switching, residual current monitoring (RCM). One device on 2 MW instead of eight on 16 MW.

10 products → 1 product · 16 MW → 2 MW · 18 W → 7 W

03 · Configuration

Configurable instead of pre-ordered

Rated current (2–16 A), tripping sensitivity (18 / 22 / 27 mA), tripping behavior, and undervoltage release are set via the SENTRON Powerconfig app over Bluetooth — directly at the device, without a Powercenter.

In: 2–6 / 6–10 / 10–16 A · IΔn: 30 mA Type F · BLE app

Comparison: 10 conventional protective devices (16 MW, 18 W) versus 1 SENTRON ECPD (2 MW, 7 W)

During installation

Done faster.
Documented more cleanly.

Space

Up to 90% less control cabinet width

  • 16 MW → 2 MWper final circuit

One ECPD replaces eight conventional devices.

Wiring

Cabling cut in half

  • 80 m → 40 min the LED wall reference case

Functions integrated instead of hard-wired.

Commissioning

Via app instead of swapping

  • 2–16 A adjustablevia Bluetooth, without a Powercenter

Wrong rated current or a different tripping threshold? Adjusted in seconds, directly at the device.

For your end customers

Added value for your customers.

01 · Energy

Eliminate standby consumption

Unused loads are switched off selectively via remote switching. At the Siemens electronics plant in Amberg, this saves up to 9,000 kWh per year on a 12 m² LED wall.

~9,000 kWh/year · ~€1,800/year · EWA reference

02 · Maintenance

Longer testing intervals

A cyclic self-test replaces manual test-button checks. With a recognized certificate, DGUV V3 testing intervals can be extended significantly — fewer maintenance visits at existing customer sites.

Self-test with logging · ROI < 3.4 years

03 · Diagnostics

Diagnostics instead of site visits

Faults and trips are visible remotely via the Powerconfig app and Powercenter. You can see whether someone needs to drive out — or whether a remote reset will do.

RCM monitoring · Remote reset · Diagnostics without a site visit
