We sell switchgear spares and auxiliary equipment on a ‘supply only’ basis, or with optional installation by our own Contracting division.
Battery Tripping Units
Battery tripping units are used when a DC supply is required for the protection and tripping of circuit breakers. If a fault is detected in the supply, the battery tripping unit is energised and trips the system to cut the supply to before failure occurs.
Our robust range of high performance and maintenance free nickel cadmium BTUs come complete with a 12-month warranty. We hold standard units in stock for immediate dispatch and also offer custom made units to your specification.
Standard BTU Stock:
- 30V / 30A / 2.2Ah
- 30V / 30A / 2.2Ah / 2A continuous load
- 110V / 65A / 8Ah / 2A continuous load
Custom BTU Options:
- 24V, 30V, 50V, 110V or other tripping voltages as required
- Fully customisable:
- Tripping current
- Continuous standing load
- Battery capacity
- Alarms & monitoring systems
Cost effective refurbished battery tripping units are also available – please enquire for details of our current refurbished BTU stock
