Add-on branch cable tray - It is in the nature of things that you cannot only follow straight paths when laying cable trays. Here and there they will always have to overcome floors, avoid obstacles or follow architectural conditions. Sooner or later you will definitely branch off from a main laying line in order to be able to reach individual rooms or other areas of your building in a meaningful way. For this purpose, in addition to numerous other modules for the production of individual cable laying constructions, you can also get the add-on junction pieces offered here in this catalog in your eibabo online shop. These are mounted directly on a straight cable tray and serve as a classic connecting element to attach another cable tray, usually at an angle of 90°. Benefit from our extensive range and put together your needs individually and completely with all the individual parts you need. You will receive your delivery complete, quickly and at reasonable prices.Catalogue content:In this eibabo® catalogue Cable carrying systems > Add-on tee for cable tray you will find items from the following product groups:Item overview:Add-on branch pieceAdd-on branch piece for cable trayAdd-on tee for cable trayAttachmentAttachment T-pieceBranch pieceCable carrier T-branch, can be flanged onCable track attachment branch pieceCable tray attachment branchCable tray branchCable tray branch pieceCable tray extension branchCable tray junction pieceCable tray moldingCable tray tapCableway tapGutter branchJunction piece for cable trayStage tapfrom the following manufacturers:Manufacturer overview catalogue Add-on branch cable tray:NiedaxNiedergesäßOBO

Installation small distributor - Do you need one or more small installation distributors at top conditions for the production of your electrical installation? The eibabo technology store offers the right machine housing for every requirement. Choose from numerous models in different sizes and for every type of installation. TIP:Calculate reserves, at least 25% additional space required. Size the distributor slightly larger. You never know if and when you might want to make more installs. If there is later a need for expansion, additional slots and mounting locations for fuses, sockets or measuring devices are required.What are installation small distributors?A small installation distribution board is also referred to as a machine housing, power box or fuse box. There are power distributors in almost every electrified house these days. Depending on how complex a system is, there can be various sub-distributors or group distributors in addition to a main control cabinet. The safety devices, switching devices or measuring devices for a specific section of the installation are then located in these distribution boxes.What is the function of a small installation distribution board?A complex electrical installation must be divided into individual sections. These are individually insured. This avoids faults and short circuits affecting the entire system. Such a section can be, for example, an apartment. The small installation distribution board contains switches, automatic circuit breakers and other devices with which the electrical current is distributed and secured in the respective section. From here, the lines lead to other sub-distributors (e.g. circuit junction boxes) or directly to consumers such as sockets or lamps. Devices with high power consumption, such as electric stoves, have a separate fuse in the sub-distribution board for safety reasons. The importance of an individual distributor depends on the size of the overall system. In larger houses with multiple entrances and residential units, sub-distributors may be required for each entrance, then for each floor and then for each individual apartment.Already knew?A main distribution is the first distribution after the transformer station. From here, the energy is distributed to commercial buildings, residential buildings and other consumers.Thus everything after the main distribution is a sub-distribution, field distribution or group distribution. Please refer to the product descriptions for the specifications for using the small distributors (for example: maximum rated current, number of modular units).Why do I need a small installation distributor?Electrical systems within a building are based on a primary sub-distribution. How useful a further sub-distribution is depends on the complexity of the system. Each installation small distributor thus serves as a node for a specific section. This results in the following advantages:Overview and control of the subsequent installationFrom this point it is easy to determine individual rooms. Possible errors and defects can be localized quickly. In addition, individual devices such as electric stoves or heating controls can be precisely assigned. Ensuring short cable routes to the end user or to the next fuseShort distances mean less voltage losses and line losses. Installation costs are lower. Maintenance work and repairs do not take that much time. Possibility of individually securing or switching off an areaThe installation after the distributor is secured separately. In the event of a problem or damage, only this area is affected without affecting the entire system. Picture: Hensel Mi 1444 machine housing 48TEIs the structure of a small installation distribution board standardized?A small installation distributor is a component of the electrical installation and is subject to certain regulations and standards. In Germany, these are regulated in the DIN standard 43880. The size of a junction box can be freely selected to a certain extent and is determined by your needs. The internal structure is determined by the DIN rails on which circuit breakers, circuit breakers, sockets and other devices are mounted. The top-hat rails must be at least 150 mm apart in height. This distance may be increased in increments of 25mm if required by the installation. The DIN rail, also known as the mounting rail, is divided into 12 modules. A pitch unit is indicated in the descriptions with 'TE' and is 18 mm wide as standard. This allows the capacity of an installation small distribution board to be clearly described. TIP:The external dimensions of a distributor vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. These say nothing about how many devices you can install. The capacity of a distributor is specified in division units. An example: If the description says 48TE 4x12x18mm IP54, you know that this distributor has 4 DIN rails. Each rail comprises 12 pitch units of 18 mm. The sum of the devices that you can install is 48 TE. The manufacturers follow this grid dimension and offer their modular installation devices in 1 HP, 2 HP, 3 HP and so on. The specification IP54 refers to the degree of protection. This describes how well the distributor is protected against the ingress of water or other foreign bodies from the outside. The first digit stands for foreign bodies and touch, the second digit for water. In the example given, the '5' means protection against dust and larger particles, the '4' means protection against splash water.Which devices may be installed in a small installation distribution board?The lines of the individual circuits come together in the small distributor. Here you can find the following built-in devices:Miniature circuit breakers and RCDs/residual current circuit breakers and other switchesAutomatic circuit breakers and fusesrelays and contactorstransformersStaircase light machinestimersindicator lightsSchuko socketsterminal blockstransducerOvervoltage protectionprogrammable logic controllersautomation componentsIn addition, a combined installation with the electricity meter is possible. Where and how can small distribution boards be installed?A suitable installation location must be selected depending on the function performed by the distributor. The installation can be flush-mounted or surface-mounted. Flush-mounted distributors, for example, are the first choice for masonry. Surface mounting makes sense on concrete walls. A place in the house connection room should be provided for a main sub-distribution. There are usually other media such as gas and water. For additional sub-distributions on the floors or in the apartments, observe the following installation criteria:Choose a suitable place with average room temperature.Avoid high humidity and strong temperature fluctuations.Install the small distribution board at a comfortable height. The distance from the floor to the center of the distributor should be at least 1.10 m and maximum 1.85 m.Ensure there is sufficient light and freedom of movement in and around the small distribution board.Make sure that the distributor is always easily accessible. This facilitates access to the installation if necessary.

Socket - A socket is much more than an inconspicuous power supply on the wall. Find out here which sockets are available and why you can never have enough of them. In addition to buttons and switches, sockets are among the most important products of all manufacturers of switch programs. A socket is installed either permanently on a wall (surface-mounted socket) or recessed (flush-mounted socket). Sockets can also be part of a mobile line coupling, such as table or multiple sockets. There are also sockets on extensions that are intended for mobile use. A socket is mostly used for the power supply. There are also sockets for telephone / telecommunications and for the data transmission sockets. Devices are usually supplied with single-phase alternating current (in Europe 230 volts) or three-phase alternating current (three-phase current with 400 volts) via classic sockets. There are also standardized sockets for 12V direct current. There are separate socket systems for the supply of higher voltages and currents.Basic information about sockets - in a nutshellA distinction is made between the flush-mounting and surface-mounting types. With the flush-mounted variant, sockets are mounted in switch boxes, which in turn are embedded in the wall. In the 'surface-mounted' variant, sockets are attached to existing walls, usually with dowels and screws.Double sockets are usually nothing more than two single sockets. They obtain the energy from the same supply line. Flush-mounted variants can be optically connected to one another via the frames of the switch range. With surface-mounted devices, both sockets are supplied in one housing.A socket insert is a device for installation in the switch box. It is either attached using claws (clamp connection) or by screwing the base plate of the insert to the screw holes of the switch box. The insert must be supplemented by the frame of the switch range.High-quality moisture-proof sockets usually have a self-closing cover and a rubber seal around the base. They are used in bathrooms, kitchens or utility rooms.Outdoor sockets must protect the current-carrying cables from rain and snow. Their housings are often particularly stable in order to prevent damage from mechanical influences.The degree of protection is a determining variable for the place of use. The best known is the two-digit IP protection class (IP = International Protection / Ingress Protection). The first digit stands for protection against contact and foreign bodies, the second digit for protection against water. The higher both digits, the safer. Planning of sockets - there is no such thing as too muchIf I were to build a house again, I would do many things differently.' You hear it very often like this or something similar when you talk to builders. Not infrequently, the planning and implementation of the electrical installation is one of the things that could be better. It is often the insufficient number of sockets that makes everyday life unnecessarily cumbersome. For example, if there is no socket in a dark corner of the room, you must lay an extension cord for the lamp. You probably won't connect very many electronic devices in a bathroom. A living room is usually equipped with many devices and is occasionally rearranged. Many sockets offer flexibility here. TIP:Sockets are very cheap to buy compared to the whole building. Do not plan too tightly, but generously. But positioning also plays an important role. Plan ahead with the layout of your home, the furnishings, and the purpose of the room. Think about the different uses throughout the year. For example, the following are often overlooked:Sockets in the window reveal to supply the Christmas lightsSockets at ceiling height for extractor hoods, infrared heaters and the likeSockets in the attic (for later expansion)the right sockets in hobby rooms, if necessary for devices that require three-phase currentOutside sockets on the balcony or terraceOutdoor sockets near a cistern or water barrel to feed a pumpOutside sockets in the carport or near storage areas for wood and the likeOutside sockets on the property line / driveway The Schuko sockets in the eibabo® online shopThere are many types of sockets. The so-called Schuko socket is the standard in Europe. The abbreviation SchuKo stands for 'protective contact' and is a designation for the German-speaking area. Internationally, these devices are referred to as type F sockets. Cables with three cores are connected to sockets of this design, one of which serves as a protective contact. This derives leakage currents. The matching plugs (e.g. on electrical devices) are also constructed according to this principle. In this catalogue, we present you with high-quality sockets from over 30 manufacturers, including Gira, Jung, Merten, Hager, Berker, Legrand BTicino, Busch-Jaeger and Siemens.How much load can a single socket withstand?A classic 230 volt household circuit is usually protected with 16 ampere fuses. This results in a maximum load capacity of the circuit of 3680 watts (16 amps x 230 volts). This means that you could theoretically draw 3,600 watts of power from a standard household socket. NoticeWhen it comes to electrical installation, it is advisable never to push individual devices to their capacity limits. In practice, about 2500 watts should not be exceeded at a socket. Based on Central European standards, 200 watts to 300 watts per individual socket is assumed in everyday use. With double sockets it is up to 500 watts. You should take this guideline into account when planning the maximum number of outlets per circuit for your installation.Does eibabo® also offer sockets of other standards?eibabo® is an international online mail order company and offers sockets that are common outside of Europe. The best-known form is the NEMA standard, which is not used in Europe (with a few exceptions). NEMA stands for National Electrical Manufacturers Association and describes a whole range of different sockets and power plugs. These are commonplace in America, such as the United States, Mexico, and Canada. Type B (NEMA-5-15) single-phase AC power is most commonly used in the United States. The regular operating voltage is 120 V, the mains frequency is 60 Hz. NEMA-6 series connectors are intended for heavy loads such as electric ovens. The NEMA system is also in use in parts of Asia, including Japan and Thailand, China and the Philippines. In addition, at eibabo® you will find sockets according to British Standard, Swiss Standard or Australian Standard.How do I integrate a standard Schuko socket into the smart home?An existing socket can be easily expanded in terms of functionality using a WLAN socket. As a rule, these are adapter plugs that you plug into the existing socket. These represent a link between the end device and the socket. An associated application (software) enables the connection to the home network. But it doesn't have to be WiFi. Other models use Zigbee, Z-Wave and Bluetooth as radio technology. If your electrical installation is just being planned, we recommend reserving a few sockets for your smart home. Then you have the option of using the corresponding flush-mounted sockets. These look visually appealing like classic sockets. You no longer need an additional adapter plug.Already knew?At the beginning of the electricity age, sockets and light switches were considered status symbols. Those who were self-respecting presented the electrical installation of the house 'surface-mounted' and clearly visible to everyone.The advantages of such sockets are, on the one hand, that the devices connected to the sockets can be disconnected from the power supply quickly and easily via the smart home system. In this way, the devices do not run on standby and save electricity. On the other hand, you can operate the sockets when you are not at home. If such a device is compatible with Apple HomeKit, Google Assistant or Amazon's Alexa, you can use it to control it.What is the difference to a socket with increased contact protection?At first glance, a socket with increased contact protection can hardly be distinguished from a classic socket. Some manufacturers mark such a model with a small symbol on the case.Image: Gira 045327 Schuko socket outlet with child protectionSockets with increased contact protection have an additional internal safety device that can vary depending on the manufacturer. In some models, this consists of rotary vanes. These open when both pins of a connector exert pressure on them at the same time. With other systems, the central insert can be rotated. So no object can be inserted into the holes of the socket. The installation of such sockets is recommended, for example, where children may have access to them. In other wordsThe designation 'Schuko' for protective contact has nothing to do with protection against accidental contact. Protection against accidental contact must also be provided. An alternative to the socket with increased protection against accidental contact can be separate socket protection. These plug into a standard socket and often work with a twist or slide motion as well. It is very safe with socket locks or lockable flaps.Why should I lock an outlet?Sockets are everywhere. These cannot always be monitored. In times of constantly rising energy costs, one often hears about electricity being stolen unnoticed via a hidden socket. This is made particularly easy for thieves if the socket is publicly accessible. Even if animals, children or other vulnerable people are constantly in the immediate vicinity of the socket, we recommend a lock. Lockable sockets or socket locks are available in the eibabo® shop at reasonable prices. Use our intelligent search.Are there sockets for other areas of application?In addition to classic sockets for everyday use, there are sockets in special shapes. You may need sockets in a place where neither a flush-mounted socket nor a surface-mounted socket is possible. A classic example is the junction box. Here you need a socket with mounting options on the DIN rail. Such models are often adapted in width to the pitch units in the junction box. Another special form are the so-called CEE sockets. These are available in the strengths 16 A, 32 A, 63 A and 125 A and are equipped with three to seven pins. Different colors represent the appropriate nominal voltage. The eibabo® shop offers CEE sockets and sockets for the junction box in separate catalogues.

Insert communication cover - Which connectors do I need for my data cables? Are there special junction boxes for loudspeakers? Do I receive media inserts and covers to match my switch range? Data sockets, central plates, blind covers and other connection sockets for multimedia applications are available at particularly low prices in this eibabo® catalogue. It's the inconspicuous things that define our lives more than we think. Without them, our house or apartment would not be complete. This includes inserts and covers for telecommunications and media technology connections. Shopping, chatting with friends, online banking, a movie night, working or reading the news - everything is closely related to today's communication technology. Did you know?In Europe, people use the internet for an average of 4.5 hours a day. In Asia it is more than 3 hours and in the US people spend an average of 6 hours on the internet every day. This is not surprising considering the many possibilities offered by the World Wide Web. Which connections make all these things possible? We give you a brief overview.Which connections do the inserts and covers offered here offer?In this catalog you will find inserts and covers for the following connections: RJ45 CAT, KOAX, UAE/IAE, TAE, SAT, HDMI, USB, XLR, Cinch as well as for speaker cables and others. The range also includes dummy covers, cable outlets, cable ducts and cover plates for built-in loudspeakers. Many manufacturers make inserts and covers in a standardized size. This enables you to choose, combine or vary an individual frame. Refer to the product description to find out whether the inside dimensions of the cover frame you have chosen fit the insert or the cover. This allows you to customize the media connections in your living space.What do you need an RJ45 CAT connection for?The RJ45 CAT connector is a connector for Ethernet cables typically used for computer networking. The cables are available in STP (Shielded Twisted Pair) and UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) versions. STP cables have a shield around each core. This protects against electromagnetic interference. STP cables are commonly used in offices with many computers or in industry. UTP cables have no shielding. These are cheaper and are mainly used in private households. The RJ45 CAT connector is suitable for networks in which large amounts of data are transmitted, for example when streaming video or downloading large files. The RJ45 CAT connector is compatible with the newer 802.11ac and 10GBASE-T standards. Choose such a deployment and appropriate coverage for your network if you have already migrated to these standards or will migrate in the future.The RJ45 CAT connector can be used for the following purposes:Functioning of Ethernet networks with high data rates over long distancesConnection of computers, switches, hubs, DSL modems, routers and other network devicesSupport for Voice over IP (VoIP), Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) and other bandwidth intensive applications Image: Gira 569703 Modular Jack RJ45 Cat6A insertWhat is the difference between IAE, UAE and TAE connections?Whether IAE, UAE or TAE - connections are an elementary part of the functionality of devices that accompany us every day. Everyone knows them, but very few know what lies behind them. IAE stands for 'Integrated Services Digital Network Access' and is a digital connection for telephony and Internet access. UAE stands for 'Universal ADSL Access' and is a special type of ADSL connection that enables high-speed Internet via the conventional telephone network. TAE stands for 'telecommunications system connection' and is an analogue telephone connection, which is still widespread in Germany.Interesting in a nutshellWhat is HDMI?HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is one of the most common interfaces for the digital transmission of audio and video data. The HDMI insert is a special type of connection that makes it possible to use HDMI cables and thus transmit audio and video data. HDMI inserts and the matching covers are available for installation in a switch box. Why do I need a blind cover?A blank cover is a cover for a port that is not used. This allows you to prevent dust or debris from getting into the port and contaminating the can. What is a cable outlet?Within a building it can happen that power lines or data lines are required at a certain point. A socket outlet or a data cable connection on the wall is not always desirable. Instead, the line or cable is routed cleanly out of the wall using a cable outlet and can be routed further within the room. What is a cord derivation?A cord derivation or cable outlet box is used to connect an external mostly flexible cable to the flush-mounted installation. In the private sector, for example, for leading out concealed multimedia cables or in the hotel industry for connecting the TV directly to the power supply as protection against theft. Are there combined telecommunications operations and media operations?Most inserts offer one or more connection points of the same type. There are a few inserts that combine different connections, for example RJ45 CAT and SAT. Mark connectionsIf there are numerous workplaces within a room and you need a large number of connections, we recommend covers with a labeling field. With small notes on the type, purpose or affiliation, you always have an overview of your installation.The eibabo® range includes a wide variety of variants and technical designs. These include models in various shades such as aluminum grey, polar white and anthracite or with glossy and matt surfaces. All inserts and covers are available in the current standards and regulations. Depending on the installation location and the desired type of assembly, you can benefit from our large range. Optimally design the connection between your living room or work area and the digital and multimedia world.

Housing - on-wall-ceiling - Do you want to bring together several electrical cables for your electrical installations? In this catalog you will find housings that have been developed for mounting on a wall or ceiling. These are mainly referred to as junction boxes, junction boxes, connection boxes, distributor boxes or, according to German standards, as installation boxes. Find out here what the differences are between the individual installation boxes and which criteria are relevant when purchasing.With eibabo®, you can choose exactly the installation boxes that are best suited to your project from a comprehensive range. These are also referred to as passive components of an electrical installation and, in contrast to switch boxes, are mostly installed on plaster. Due to their design, these are designed for stationary installation and for accommodating cables, lines, clamps and other connections. We carry housings with strain relief lugs for pendant lights and external mounting lugs. You will also receive housings with high resistance to the effects of weather. These are impact-resistant, protect against rainwater and are also resistant to changing temperatures and seawater. Housings with these special properties are approved for installation on ships and for offshore applications.Notice:Always leave electrical installations to an experienced electrician. When working on an installation box, safety always comes first. Disconnect the relevant circuit from the power supply.A high percentage of the junction boxes at eibabo® are kept in classic white and grey. However, you can also find cases in colors like black, green, brown, and red for a more customized use.What do I need installation boxes for?Junction boxes are an essential part of the electrical wiring systems for houses and other buildings. These are made of metal or plastic and protect cable connections, connections and distributions in an electrical installation. For example, if you want to distribute the individual supply line for a room to several lines, the wiring is done in the installation box.How are installation boxes installed?The assembly of the installation boxes is very simple. As a rule, the housings have markings or screw channels on the inside, which you should use to attach them to stable and secure surfaces. Some variants offer external attachment tabs. Make sure that the housing corresponds to the conditions at the place of use, is freely accessible for maintenance work and cannot be manipulated by unauthorized persons. TIP:You can close and seal some installation boxes tightly. External influences can be quickly identified through the viewing window in the cover. TIP:Based on experience, we recommend that you make the entries for each cable before installing the socket and insert cables as a test. In tight installation environments, it can be difficult to cut out post-inserts or expand existing diameters.How do installation boxes differ?Installation boxes differ mainly in size, material and properties for specific locations. Installation boxes can be made of either metal or plastic. The choice between plastic and metal depends on which cable material is used and which mechanical loads an installation box should be able to withstand. Metal-sheathed cable and metal conduit typically require a metal junction box for grounding. Even if the installation box is exposed to heavy knocks or similar influences in everyday life, a stable metal model is recommended. Plastic housings are the standard choice for non-metallic cables.Special featuresSome models are fire resistant or shielded for use in severe conditions. Installation under the ground, under water or in potentially explosive areas is also possible in some cases.Check the local regulations for your electrical installation. This will tell you if you need to use wall outlets with a specific IP rating. In most cases, your electrician can tell you what IP rating is required.Correct dimensioning of the installation boxThe dimensioning of an installation box is crucial to ensure the function of the internal connections. If you have enough space available, we always recommend using a slightly larger can. Cables and wires are rigid and difficult to bend into shape. Clamps require space. If you choose the socket too small, the space for working on the connections will also be very small and cramped. When determining the size, consider:the number of lines to be installedthe length of the lines for comfortable workthe cross-section of the lines and the associated flexibilitythe number of clamps to be installedany other components in the can TIP:Do not leave any exposed wires in the installation box. Even if you do not need a wire, please always provide it with a clamp. Always allow for some reserve for changes in the future. On average, installation boxes for commercial use are larger than housings for private households, as these often have to accommodate more connections.Image: Spelsberg Abox 250-L junction boxHow do I find the right installation box?There is a large selection of installation boxes. This ranges from universal installation boxes to special products. You will find the right product if you ask yourself the following questions:Do I need an installation box for commercial or private use?What are the site conditions like? (surface, temperature, humidity, electromagnetism, risk of impact)How much space do I have for installation?What is installed in the can and how much?What space should I reserve as a reserve?Do I want to secure the installation box? (vandalism, unauthorized access, sealing) The answers result in a catalog of properties. You can easily set these as a filter here in the shop.

Current monitoring device - If you would like to be in control of your electrical installation, then monitor your cables and wires for correct function and proper current flow. Especially if you want to minimize downtime or failures within production processes, you can counteract any problems early and effectively with a current monitoring relay. Learn more about the types and uses of power monitoring devices here. Use our help when making a purchase decision and choose from numerous quality products at top conditions here in your eibabo® shop.Analysis and EvidenceHigh-quality current monitoring devices are able to store errors that occur for later evaluation, to communicate with other components and, if necessary, to send out alarm signals.Devices of this type are typically installed in the control cabinet and use suitable relays to protect your system against undervoltage or overvoltage or against undercurrent or overcurrent.What types of surveillance devices are there?A monitoring device is a protective relay that is used to monitor various states of an electrical system. It is therefore an electrical switch which is triggered when certain specified parameters are exceeded. The device provides protection by shutting down the system in the event of an abnormal condition. A monitoring device (also called a control relay) typically consists of two main components: a sensing circuit for detecting condition and a trigger element. The detection element is used to determine the monitored parameters. The triggering element serves to trigger the switching process.Individual settings can often be made by the user with these devices. The protection parameters can thus be adapted to the requirements of the respective system. This is done using adjustment wheels and screws or, in the case of digital relays, using buttons and a display. Among other things, the following can be set:Delay ? to avoid false alarms due to sudden power surgesReset (manual or automatic) - used to reset the electrical system after a shiftRemote Reset - to remotely reset the electrical system after a shiftAlarm ? to trigger an alarm in the event of a trip Surveillance devices fall into different categories. These are based on the parameter being monitored. This can be voltage and current, but also filling levels or temperatures. The most common monitoring devices are:Voltage monitors - trip when the voltage in an electrical system exceeds and/or falls below a specified level.Phase monitors ? are used to monitor and protect against polarity reversal, phase failure and phase asymmetry. These constantly check the phase difference between two or more phases.Current monitors - protect equipment in an electrical system from overcurrent or undercurrent. Current monitoring relays trigger when the current exceeds or falls below a predetermined value.Frequency Monitors - Used primarily in Alternating Current (AC) systems where line frequency control is required. These relays are therefore used to protect against frequency anomalies.Temperature monitors ? primarily protect against overheating by constantly monitoring the temperature of the system and the devices that are being protected. Areas of application are predominantly industrial plants where extreme temperatures are a problem.Level monitors - are switches for level control in cisterns, tanks and other storage containers. These devices are used wherever liquid levels need to be monitored. Image: Pilz S1IM #828050 current monitoring relayThe different types of current monitorsCurrent monitors are important devices when it comes to protecting electrical systems. These help prevent damage to equipment and components by shutting off a circuit in the event of a fault. There are different types of electricity monitors. Each has its own advantages and areas of application. Depending on this, please select the right type to ensure proper protection.Primary and secondary power monitorsPrimary devices are mostly part of a circuit breaker and are mainly used in electrical networks with voltages up to 1000 volts. Secondary current monitors are connected to the circuit through a current transformer, which in turn is connected to the power supply. The current transformer reduces the current to a value suitable for the function of the monitoring device. Secondary current monitors are in turn divided into the following subspecies:Electromagnetic DevicesThe devices based on the principle of electromagnetism are the most common. These consist of a core with a copper winding and an armature with attached switch contacts. When the current is off, a spring keeps the armature away from the core. When a voltage is applied, a magnetic field builds up around the core. This attracts the armature and thus switches the connected contacts. The majority of electromagnetic devices are so-called polarized relays. These contain two cores with windings, a permanent magnet and a contact rod. Operation is dependent on the polarity of the input signal. There are electromagnetic relays for alternating and direct current. Their advantages lie in high-quality galvanic isolation, low price, low contact voltage drop and low heat development. No refrigeration is required. Devices of this type are resistant to impulse loads and interference from lightning strikes. The main disadvantages are the limited mechanical and electrical service life and the low operating speed.induction relayThe principle of operation of induction relays is based on the interaction between the current induced in a conductor and a variable magnetic flux. Therefore, with alternating current, these are used as indirect protection relays. The integrated components of the device are arranged in such a way that they are aligned with each other at the set frequency of the current and are not deflected. When the frequency changes, a moving element moves, causing the contacts to close or open. We distinguish between induction devices with a frame, with a pane and with glass.differential relaySuch devices compare the current strength before the consumer and after it. This consumer is usually a power transformer. In the normal state, both values are approximately the same. However, if a short circuit occurs, this balance is disturbed. As a result, the relay closes the contacts and turns off the faulty section of the circuit. Often found in household appliances and lamps, these relays protect people from electric shock.Relays on microcircuits in the integrated electronicsThe devices work with semiconductors such as triacs or thyristors. In the basic principle, such a device compares the incoming signal with the parameters stored in the device for trouble-free operation. If there is a deviation, the relay breaks the circuit.thermal relayThermal relays work with an integrated bimetal. This heats up when an electric current is passed through it. If the current flow deviates from the specified value, the bimetallic strip deforms, causing the contacts to open and close.What should you look for in a current monitoring device?In order for the current monitor to work, its parameters must meet the requirements of the assigned tasks. When selecting a device, pay attention to the following features:Voltage in volts - this is the voltage range in which the device normally operatesCurrent in amperes - each device is rated for a specific currentTripping power in watts - this is the minimum power of the electrical current supplied for normal operationControl power in watts - this is the maximum power of electric current at which the relay will perform its functions correctly TIPWhen making your selection, pay attention to the prevailing operating conditions. Is the device used in critical environments with high humidity, dirt, heat, cold or vibrations? Furthermore, the error detection depends on the accuracy of the measurement of the current strength in amperes. The response time of the device is another important parameter. How long does the device take from the moment of the event to triggering? Under certain circumstances, it can be advantageous to be able to individually set a delay before switching the device on or off for critical loads.As a specialist for smart home technology, we at the eibabo® online shop are your competent partner for all questions relating to intelligent electrical installation.

Line backbone coupler - Would you like to expand your smart home system and are you looking for a way to integrate additional devices into the existing infrastructure? No problem. The strength of modern building automation lies precisely in this flexibility. In this catalogue, we present line area couplers with which you can expand the topologies of your network.Living, working, security and climate protection - building automation offers many advantages for modern households. In particular, the areas of 'living comfort' and 'energy management' are strongly influenced by the possibilities offered by modern communication media and control technology. Numerous functions in a building can be automated, from switching on the light and setting up needs-based heating cycles to organizing access control systems. It can be controlled from anywhere in the world using a computer or smartphone. When setting up simple and complex networks for the KNX building automation, line area couplers are used, among other things.How is a KNX network structured?Within a KNX network, we distinguish between segments that are networked with each other and have a hierarchical structure. The segments are called lines, main lines and areas. You can think of this as a tree whose trunk splits into branches and further into twigs. The branches represent the smallest unit and are called 'lines' in the KNX network. Each line consists of a KNX bus line, a power supply and the participants. A 'main line' would be the branch that connects several lines into an 'area'. The area line represents the trunk that connects multiple areas. A well-organized structure makes sense, especially for larger networks. Due to the structure in segments with different tasks and priorities, the system remains clear and can be expanded at any time.What is the main task of a line area coupler?To control data traffic, a line area coupler connects two KNX lines with each other. The device ensures galvanic isolation between the lines. This means that each KNX line can be operated electrically independently of the other lines. TIP:A separate KNX power supply is required for each line, main line or area line. Theoretically, 255 KNX participants can be integrated into one line. Due to the average power requirement of KNX devices, cable lengths and other limit value definitions, a maximum of 64 KNX participants (devices with bus coupler) are defined per line. For a standard single-family house, this is usually sufficient with optimal planning.What possible uses does a line area coupler offer?Line couplers or area couplers are also required to create larger KNX topologies with a large number of KNX devices. The smallest topology is a line, which is powered by a KNX power supply. A single line does not yet require a line coupler.At line levelWhen using a 640mA power supply, the number of participants can be significantly increased using line amplifiers. Line area couplers can take over this function. The newly created sub-line has its own KNX power supply and is connected to the existing line via a line amplifier for galvanic isolation. Since the ETS (Engineering Tool Software) allows more than 64 participants per line, the participants of the sub-line can be viewed as if they were in the actual line above.At the main line levelIn the case of extensions, an additional line is usually set up. This receives a 640mA power supply and is coupled to the first line using a line coupler. This line is called the main line. Of course, 64 participants can also be connected to the main line. Up to 15 lines can be connected to this main line. This represents the maximum value of an area. Additional extensions are now also implemented using line couplers (area couplers, depending on the assignment of the physical address and parameterization).At the area levelThe line that connects areas together is the backbone line. This means that up to 15 areas with several tens of thousands of KNX participants are possible. KNX IP routers can connect two KNX installations by means of communication via the routing protocol. This requires an existing network connection between the installations (buildings or parts of buildings). A KNX IP router can use the routing and tunneling protocols in parallel, while a KNX IP interface can only use tunneling.Image: ABB LK/S 4.2 line couplerClassic application examplesWith the use of line area couplers, you create well-functioning and optimally organized communication between the individual segments (lines, main lines, areas) of a system. Depending on the structure of a system, the individual segments can take on specific automatisms in the same room or perform special tasks via a network connection at different locations around the world. Examples for this are:the central control of the heating, ventilation and air conditioning for different workplaces in an office complexthe controlled compliance with necessary hygiene protocols in different parts of a hospital buildingthe implementation and monitoring of security concepts in a residential complex (locking systems, elevators, emergency exits, night lighting)the control of shading systems of global company branches based on the position of the sun, time zone and weather data The full rangeIn the eibabo® shop you can get all the items you need to set up simple or complex topologies.

Power supply - Find out here how to supply your KNX bus system with power. What power requirements do the individual KNX participants have? Which items do we recommend? This eibabo catalog contains power supplies and system devices for various automation systems, such as LCN, radio bus, KNX and many other systems.How do I determine the right KNX power supply for my installation?The most common power supplies in this catalog are for the KNX bus system. To determine the required power supply, you should first look at the structure of a KNX network. A distinction is made here between segments that are divided into a specific hierarchy. Imagine a tree whose trunk splits into branches. Twigs come off the branches. The branches represent the smallest 'unit' and are referred to as lines in the KNX network. Each line consists of the power supply, a KNX bus line and the participants. A main line would be the branch that connects multiple lines into an area. The area line represents the trunk that connects multiple areas. This structure makes sense for larger networks or if a division into several segments is recommended due to the structural conditions of a building.In addition to the power supply for the participants, the bus itself also requires a power supply of 24V nominal voltage. This is transmitted along with the data signals on the bus line. Depending on the manufacturer, the corresponding power supplies deliver 28V to 31V slightly more than the nominal voltage. This creates a buffer, for example for possible line losses. KNX bus participants still work stably up to 21V. The voltage difference is used to compensate for voltage drops in the bus line or at the contact resistances. A line can theoretically include up to 64 devices and provides a maximum current of 640mA at a voltage of 28V to 31V. This statement is based on the assumption that each KNX participant is allowed a maximum of 10mA from the bus voltage. The load capacity of the strongest power supply of 640mA continuous current must not be exceeded.Please plan in reserveWhen dimensioning your lines, allow at least 15% buffer for later extensions. A 640mA power supply therefore corresponds to around 54 devices.Smaller KNX power supplies are also available for fewer participants per line. If you know in advance that a line will never have more than a maximum of 32 subscribers (27 with buffer), you can choose a 320mA power supply. The same applies to a line with a maximum of 16 devices (14 with buffer). A 160mA power supply is sufficient here. In addition, there are larger 29V-30V power supplies with current limiters 640mA and KNX chokes separately. A KNX power supply always contains a KNX choke.The power requirement of a KNX participant is usually standardized. This should not normally exceed 200mW. 150mW for power supply of the microprocessor and 50mW for the bus terminal. There are many KNX devices that do not require this power reference. There are also KNX participants with higher requirements, for example KNX actuators, KNX room controllers or KNX displays. Please take this into account when sizing your lines. Pay attention to possible voltage drops, because the devices do not draw a certain current from the bus, but a certain power. If the maximum current is expected to be exceeded, you should integrate fewer than 64 participants in this line.How does the KNX power supply work?In the KNX power supply, the power supply always provides direct current (DC) at the output. The difference between the designation transformer and power supply is essentially that a classic transformer always outputs alternating current (AC) and also only works with alternating current at the input. Depending on the manufacturer, the power supplies generate a supply voltage of 28V to 31V. When the bus is idle, the supply voltage of the power pack is present. This state corresponds to a logical '1'. The logical '0' is generated by an alternating voltage. In order to send the '0', the sending KNX device reduces the voltage by around 5V for a short time. This results in an immediate compensating impulse, which comes from a choke integrated in the power pack. The KNX line is thus decoupled from the associated KNX power supply by the choke. This prevents short circuits in the data telegrams caused by the power pack. The voltage change is necessary so that the recipient can use the informationAre there KNX power supplies for more than 64 participants per line?In the eibabo® technology store you will find KNX power supplies up to 1280mA. However, it is not possible to set up a line with 128 participants. The power is distributed at two different outputs. There is thus the classic choked output with 640mA for the KNX bus as well as another unchoked output. Participants can be supplied with an auxiliary voltage via this output, for example a heatable rain sensor. Alternatively, you can use it to set up a second line. An additional choke is required for this.Image: Siemens 5WG11525-1AB22 KNX power supplyCan I monitor the utilization of a power supply?If you want to check whether a power supply is reaching its limits in use, we recommend a device with an integrated diagnostic function. This allows device temperature, output current, output voltage, bus traffic and other current measured values to be sent via KNX. This enables troubleshooting or general monitoring.What do I need a KNX emergency power supply for?Whether you need a KNX emergency power supply depends on how high you assess the risk of a power failure and its consequences for your system. The emergency power supply is used to buffer the bus voltage. An external battery is connected to the device. This provides a voltage of 12V DC and ensures the bus voltage for some time. The integrated charging electronics of the KNX emergency power supply recharges the battery or maintains the state of charge. You can record the operating states (mains voltage, error warning, battery operation) using a binary input, for example. As a rule, KNX emergency power supplies are mounted on the DIN rail. Both the KNX emergency power supplies and the required batteries are available here in the eibabo® shop at reasonable prices.What does PoE power supply mean?The abbreviation PoE stands for 'Power over Ethernet'. This allows you to transmit the electrical power required for the operation of the individual participants via the data lines of the network cable. You do not need a separate power cable. TIP:With a PoE power supply, the effort involved in cabling wired Ethernet networks is reduced. With this technology, the electrical voltage from the power supply is fed into the data cable. On the participant's side, this is diverted out again. To avoid interference, the participant should be PoE compatible. In this way, it can cleanly separate the incoming supply voltage from the data signal. If the end device is not PoE-compatible, the additional installation of a passive PoE splitter is necessary. The splitter takes the supply voltage from the data cable and feeds it via a separate line to the power input of the end device.Can I get classic 12V and 24V power supplies for conventional applications from eibabo®?Our classic power packs for the top-hat rail can be regulated depending on the model and are suitable for the power supply of external equipment. In addition, it is possible to use these for other equipment. Using a choke and a component for current limitation each, specific power supply units can also be used to supply one or more KNX lines. In addition to the installation technology, we offer you classic power supplies for universal use.What power supplies and manufacturers would you recommend?Basically, we recommend that you choose a device that suits your needs. Voltage supplies / power packs are standardized and are subject to legal requirements and regulations. If the technical parameters are completely identical, a price comparison between different manufacturers is of course worthwhile. In this catalog you will find KNX power supplies, KNX power supplies, KNX commissioning power supplies, KNX emergency power supplies, PoE power supplies, bus power supplies, IP power supplies PoE, battery modules for KNX power supplies, 12V power supplies and 24V power supplies for conventional applications.
