Identifying the cause of tripping – whether an overload, short circuit, or equipment ground fault – is critical to restoring operations quickly and minimising costly delays.
MasterPacT MTZ Active circuit breakers are embedded with advanced electromechanical components such as arc extinguishing mechanisms, current and voltage sensors, and a new electrical control unit with sensors that monitor various breaker functions.
Serving as the brain of the breaker, the Active control unit responds to customer needs for information and ease of use with an intuitive system that displays operational data. This system quickly mitigates outage events, including overloads, short circuits, and equipment ground faults.
Key features of the MasterPacT MTZ Active include:
• Energy reduction maintenance setting (ERMS) – providing enhanced arc flash protection for local operators. A single push button increases the trip unit’s sensitivity to arc faults, rapidly isolating faults to reduce the risk and severity of arc flash incidents during maintenance or inspections
• New Micrologic Active trip unit interface – delivering a more intuitive and user-friendly experience. This enhanced UI streamlines operations and simplifies interaction for contractors and consultants, ensuring smooth integration into electrical infrastructure projects
• Built-in current monitoring – delivering real-time data locally for better decision-making and maintenance planning
• Near-field communication (NFC) for operators to download data on asset health and tripping records when in close proximity to the electrical panel
The MasterPact MTZ Active is engineered to deliver Schneider Electric’s hallmarks of sustainability, innovation, and safety for critical industrial applications including data centres, commercial buildings, and heavy industrial plants.
