Metering Solutions!!

Mi – KWH Meter Boxes with a high IP 65 rating!!!

Mi – Meter boxes are made up of Polycarbonate, a high quality thermoplastic which is acid resistant, corrosion resistant, UV resistant and resistant to variation in temperatures. Temperature range of these boxes is – 40 deg. C up to + 100 deg. C. They are self extinguishing and flame retardant.

Basic material is free from halogen and silica so as to offer optimum safety in case of fire. The material is totally non – toxic and can be recycled if the product has outlived its life.

Lid fasteners are provided with tool operated knobs so only a qualified electrician can have the access. Cover lids are transparent so as to enable an electrician with precise measurements without opening them. The boxes are completely insulated and shock proof, light weight, watertight and dustproof. Two sealing points are provided on the lids to prevent unauthorised entry or pilferage.

The sealing locks can be used for inserting wire seals or lead sealing by power supply companies. The boxes are ideal for multi – metering where there is a necessity to have more than one KWH meter enclosed.

The boxes are modular and quick fix which makes them an ideal solution for metering panels for large housing colonies or row houses projects. Also, the possibility of extending the boxes to form complete metering panel from a single meter enclosure is available and is very easy.

All the products are type - tested as per IEC standard which is internationally accepted and widely used.

Since the expensive meters will be fully protected inside the Mi KWH IP 65 enclosure, the life of these meters is enhanced which in turn eliminates the need to recalibrate the meter in future.

Mi – KWH meter boxes are available with installation depths of 146mm and 190mm and comprises with additional DIN rails with hinged flaps for maximum KWH meters, time switches etc.

Degree of protection against ingress of dust and water conforms to IP65 as per IEC EN 60529. And the degree of protection against external mechanical impacts conforms to IK08 (5 Joules) as per IEC EN 50102.

Mi KWH meter boxes come with a special gasket which is internally embedded, a patented design of the company, to ensure IP65 degree retention for an entire project life.

Premoulded knockouts are provided on all the four sides of box walls to eliminate need to drill holes at the building or project sites.

Mi KWH meter boxes are suitable to enclose all kinds of meters that includes electromechanical, electronic, trivector meters in single phase or three phase configurations.

InterSolar 2010

After the success in Solarcon Exhibition at Hyderabad, India in July this year, we decided to participate in InterSolar 2010 in Mumbai.

Intersolar India took place from December 14–16, 2010 in Mumbai's expansive Bombay Exhibition Centre (BEC). It was a premier exhibition and conference for the photovoltaics and solar thermal industries in India. The conference took place one day offset from the exhibition (Dec. 13-15) at Leela Kempinski Mumbai hotel and featured more than 50 speakers presenting in more than 15 sessions.

Hensel was proud to make its presence in Hall VI, Stall no. 6353, the only company in the entire Solar PV segment showcasing innovative solutions for the Balance of Systems ( BoS)  segment. As experienced in earlier Solarcon exhibition, every visitor at the Hensel Stall was impressed with the detailed display and know-how on the specialised PV market of Hensel. 

The stall was a complete focus on the interfacing solutions offered by Hensel for the Photovoltaic Industry and  was designed to offer every explanation to any visitor, be it a technical professional from the PV industry or a curious general on-looker or a visitor with just academic interest.

The special Off-Grid wall displayed in the stall was one of the most viewed exhibits in the entire exhibition, especially keeping in mind the National Solar Mission target of 2000MW only for Off-grid solutions in India. The Off-grid wall made sure for every visitor at the stall, that Hensel is way ahead in offering unique solutions and can be the best partners for PV projects for rural electrifications.

Overall, the three active days of the exhibition were full of activities and interactions with as many as 350 listed PV customers have made Hensel very popular again and a strong brand to lead in the Photovoltaics Industry.

Hensel at Intersolar 2010 was represented by Mr.R.Rajesh, Mr.Rajesh Kulkarni, Mr.K. Balaji, Mr.S. Andrew, Mr. Debashish Ghosh, Mr.Virat Rajeghatge, Mr.Pravin Bhamre, Mr.Sunil Swamy, Mr. Neelkant Rao, Mr. Hitesh Amreliya, Ms. Jeba and Ms. Shyamala Anand.

As expected, Intersolar India brought together industry professionals from the entire Solar eco-system, including: materials, equipment, PV cell and module manufacturers and distributors; inverter and balance of systems suppliers; mounting and tracking systems suppliers; solar thermal manufacturers and distributors; project developers, service companies; the finance and banking community and policy makers.

Passion to Perform!!

At Hensel, there is no stone left unturned when it comes to promoting its products and nothing can stop its dedicated army of salesmen who will ensure the presence of the company is felt everywhere. Apart from being active on the technical magazines, exhibitions, retail campaigns or the social networks, the company believes in doing things differently rather than doing different things.

Last week, it was a special activity planned by our super salesmen of a different kind. The activity can be aptly named as " Operation Rajarhat".

Rajarhat,  also called as Jyoti Basu Nagar, a neighbourhood of Calcutta, located in North 24 Parganas district of West Bengal, is a fast-growing planned new city. It is situated near the Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport. Many high-profile industrialists of national and international standing are investing in the township.

The Eastern team comprising of Mr.Arindam Dutta, Mr.Somenath Sadhukan and Udalok Tarafdar organised a mobile Road show to cover and explore every  construction site which they come across in the combing operations.

The event was very successful as the team had a great interaction and information sharing with various site engineers and got an overwhelming response from almost every project site. The team highlighted on the benefits and safety features of the innovative Hensel range of products. Almost every customer appreciated the novel idea of this road show and the various enquiries generated from this road show was a proof of their success.

More than 35 engineers were able to have a feel of the products and probably the most profound impact of the Road show was to change the way in which people think about construction site Distribution Boards.Almost every engineer appreciated our ACS units and showed interest to use in their ongoing and upcoming projects.

IP 65 Thermoplastic Polycarbonate Combinable System 

Hensel India, offers Mi Distribution Boards, a unique and novel combinable enclosure system for the assembly of Type Tested ( TTA ) low voltage switchgears up to 1000A in accordance with IEC 60 439 – 1.

The Mi distribution Boards are now ASTA certified and CPRI tested to guarantee utmost safety to users and foolproof designs.

                              

The system comprises with five standard box sizes within a grid of 150mm that can be used as individual enclosures and can be combined as well in any directions. Individual enclosures as well as the assemblies are having a degree of protection IP65 which corresponds to Jet water proof and dust proof as per IEC standards.

The most important advantages for Hensel Mi – Boards are that they are  Full Type tested as per IEC 60439 – 1 and are totally insulated and shock proof since individual enclosures are made out of Polycarbonate.

As a result, they are completely safe and are meant for the safety of  even an unskilled person working carelessly on a project or maintenance site.

The Hensel Mi Board uses a unique wall Gasket, made of Engineering plastic, for the assembly and connection of two box walls due to which the complete board becomes IP65 and hence it makes the complete system ready to be used outdoor for any applications.

                                                                                                                                        

Due to the modular nature of the system, future expansion becomes very simple and easy. Specially, when there is a necessity to add extra lighting or control or power circuits in an already installed Hensel Board, this feature comes very handy. Also, the basic enclosures are standard and are readily available due to which a complete assembled panel can be made in no time in comparison with the conventional sheet steel panel. The fabrication for the conventional panel itself takes a real long time when the minimum degree of protection is IP55. In comparison, a Hensel Mi Board can save 3/4^th of your time spent in assembly and installation.

Nothing can beat the uniqueness of the Bus Bar system in the Hensel Mi Board. A specially designed clamping terminal with a spring tension is used to clamp the solid copper bus bar and the flexible wiring band ( made of tinned copper) due to which no holes or openings are required for connections. This eliminates any or all the weak points from where a flash over or sparks can occur due to loose connections thereby making the Hensel Mi Board a Fool proof system.

Large wall openings enable the wiring within the distribution boards and cable entry is provided via metric knock outs which are available on all the sides of box walls and also via flanges and cable inserts upto 74mm cable diameter.

Wall fixing is right away in the Boxes and also can be through external brackets for individual enclosures. For the Hensel Mi Board, fixing can be direct wall mounting or pedestal mounting or as per the choice given by a customer.
