Versatile applications for low voltage switchgear

Our Critical Power Solutions’ expertise extends across a range of critical power applications:
 

Standby Power Systems

Our low voltage switchgear is designed to activate during primary power failures, standby systems ensure uninterrupted power for essential loads.

Applications: Hospitals, data centers, fire safety systems, telecommunication facilities, and industrial processes where outages can cause significant disruptions 

Prime Power Systems

Configured as the primary electricity source, nVent’s low voltage switchgear uses prime power systems to handle sustained, variable loads for extended operations.

Applications: Hospitals (life-support systems), data centers (servers), industrial plants (process controls), and security systems (cameras and alarms) 

Paralleling Systems

nVent’s low voltage switchgear paralleling systems synchronize multiple power sources to share loads, improve efficiency, and ensure redundancy.

Applications: Hospitals, data centers, manufacturing facilities, renewable energy integration (solar and wind), and commercial buildings

Load Shedding Systems

Designed to prioritize and reduce electricity usage, our low voltage switchgear provides load shedding systems to optimize power distribution during peak demand.

Applications: Cloud computing platforms, industrial controls, and traffic management systems
