The SENTRON ECPD combines multiple features and functions in one device:

• Ultra-fast electronic switching (up to 1,000 times faster than mechanical breakers)
• Reliable impulse resistance
• Full selectivity
• Flexible parameterization of trip values and other settings
• Active monitoring of parameters such as current consumption, voltage, and temperature
• Remote monitoring and switching, even during faults
• Automatic reclosing for overloads or short circuits
• Activation and adaption of additional functions with the SENTRON Powerconfig app
• Integration with digital systems in power distribution and building automation
• Residual current monitoring (RCM) (available soon)

By combining multiple functions into a single device, the SENTRON ECPD saves up to 80% electronics, 90% metal, and 90% plastic. It also reduces space requirements in distribution boards by up to 80% and minimizes installation effort thanks to easier planning, less cabling, less mounting work and much more. The electronic switching is wear-free, reducing maintenance costs and extending product life.

Moreover, the SENTRON ECPD makes a major contribution to smart energy management in increasingly intelligent buildings thanks to ist numerous add-on functions: With the SENTRON ECPD, you can evaluate power consumption, determine consumption profiles, and put an end to inefficient standby consumption by controlling and deactivating circuits in a targeted manner. This lets you save energy costs and increase the sustainability of your building’s operation.

The SENTRON ECPD is ideal for applications requiring fast response times, remote monitoring, and space savings, such as:

• Installations, facilities, and buildings with high degree of automation
• Buildings with many consumers and complex circuits
• All applications where fast fault detection and remote troubleshooting are essential
• Applications with high capacitive loads that are prone to nuisance tripping due to high inrush currents, like LED walls and advertising displays
• Large parking garages, tunnels, etc. (saving on cables and installation costs)

Yes, the SENTRON ECPD is designed for integration into existing distribution systems. Its compact design and remote parameterization capabilities often allow for retrofitting without extensive modifications. It also supports common communication protocols for connection to existing control systems.
