Environment Friendly Panel Technology at Elsteel

Elsteel is very much aware of the implications CO2 release has on the environment and we should all be trying to reduce energy where possible to limit global warming . This is an area where Elsteel have invested a lot of time into designing sustainable solutions for the present and the future.

Why keep waiting when you can reduce CO2 by 31% today?

In order to be continuously competitive, the industry designs electrical panels using the smallest possible circuit breakers, busbars, cables etc. This consequently generates enormous watt loss. It’s a simple solution really, Elsteel suggests you increase circuit breakers by one frame size, including compartments – and thereby actually reducing the watt loss!

Designing panels in accordance with IEC 61439-1 is not enough, as the standard allows a final temperature of up to 120 centigrade. The problem is further increased if you have to remove the temperature rise by air conditioning, like in offices, hotels, hospitals or shopping malls etc.

In order to truly reduce carbon emission and consequently global warming, the key is to make larger panels – that way the use of ventilation and cooling is seriously diminished and a noticeable amount of energy is saved.

We strive for making “green panels” rather than cheap panels.

The green panel will also save the end user money in the long run. The initial investment is more expensive as the panel is larger, but this can be recouped in as little as only 2 years!
