ekor.gid
Main components of ekor.gid
3.3. Batteries
3.3.1. Wall-mounted
The batteries available in the ekor.gid unit are sealed
and made of pure lead. The batteries have the following
characteristics:
1. Adjustable / resealable valve technology
2. 8 batteries with an operating life time of 2.5 Ah and 6 V
3. Duration: an average life of 15 years
4. Maintenance-free
3.3.2. Cubicle-mounted
The ekor.gid-s model is designed to accompany the
automation devices, since it has a charger and power
batteries.
Combining the ekor.gid-s unit with a Telemanagement unit
with charger and batteries means the Telemanagement
and communications equipment with multi-range voltage
(Vac and Vdc) can supply direct voltage, bringing the benefit
of uninterrupted power.
3.4. Low Voltage Compartment
3.4.1. Wall-mounted
The Low Voltage cabinet area is designed as a high safety
area as it includes a second enclosure made of plastic
(polycarbonate) that allows the electrical and physical
isolation of all the components that are housed inside. The
main characteristics of the polycarbonate are:
1. Self-extinguishing material.
2. Shock resistant. Withstands impact tests with a 4.11 kg
steel ball (DIN 52290).
3. High degree of light transmission. Up to 88-90% for a
3 mm thick sheet.
4. Very light weight, with a density of 1.2-3.6 kg/m2. Half
of that of glass.
5. Temperature performance limit: 80 ºC without
deformation.
This polycarbonate enclosure guarantees complete isolation
between the components housed inside and the rest of the
cabinet. Also, it includes an interlock system that prevents
its opening if it has not been previously disconnected from
the Low Voltage power going to the assembly.
This way, the protection of the operators is guaranteed if
they need to handle the interior components.
A small-sized removable auxiliary window that allows
access to the protection miniature circuit-breakers that
are housed inside, without interrupting the service. This
window is identified and includes the required instructions
in accordance with all the safety criteria.
The Low Voltage Compartment is the place where all the
components that allow carrying out the Telemanagement
of the Transformer and/or Switching Substation are housed.
These components are referenced to the Low Voltage
neutral potential. Since the enclosure of the ekor.gid unit
is at protective earth potential, all the components are
integrated inside polycarbonate to prevent insulation
problems. This polycarbonate enclosure, in addition to
providing the necessary insulation between the Low
Voltage and Medium Voltage, includes an interlock system
that prevents accessing the Low Voltage Compartment
until the voltage inputs coming from the Low Voltage Board
have been disconnected.
