MDC. Predictive or level-based maximum demand control Managing demand 365 days a year Avoid excess power penalties Use 100% of the capacity of your installation, avoiding penalties for exceeding maximum demand. Adjust the necessary demand power in your installation. In economic terms, this may result in savings of between 10% and 30%. Maximum demand Maximum demand is the power integrated in 15 minute intervals. The electricity tariff basically consists of two concepts: demand power and unit electricity cost. The demand power (maximum demand) is linked to the contracted power and is the...

MDC. Predictive or level-based maximum demand control Managing demand 365 days a year Basic option Analyzer for level-based maximum demand control MDC-4 MDC-4 is designed for level-based control of the maximum demand of an installation. The unit performs analyzer functions and therefore also calculates the energy consumed. Contracted power is exceeded when the loads of an installation connect simultaneously. MDC-4 is designed for level-based control of the maximum demand of an installation. Level-based control makes it possible to optimise the installation as it enables simultaneous use of...

MDC. Predictive or level-based maximum demand control Managing demand 365 days a year MDC-4 includes a 2-line display in which it is possible to view the electrical variables measured and calculated by the unit. Display To display the specific information of the control being performed, the unit has specific Maximum Demand screens that display the maximum demand versus the contracted power as well as the status of the outputs of the unit. Load management The unit controls the disconnection of up to 4 relays per level. For example, if the unit has the following configuration for each one of...

MDC. Maximum demand control with integrated web server Managing demand 365 days a year MDC-20 is CIRCUTOR's new maximum demand control with integrated web server. The analyzer stores the maximum value reading, recording the 15 minute demand of the billing period. This instantaneous consumption, also known as peak demand, can be controlled by avoiding the simultaneous start-up and operation of different electric loads, such as lighting, air conditioning or motors. Priority predetermined loads are configured and activate a signal to disconnect non-priority loads and keep demand below the...

MDC. Predictive or level-based maximum demand control Managing demand 365 days a year The MDC-20 ensures that the maximum power contracted will not be exceeded, allowing the simultaneous use of a higher number of loads.

MDC. Predictive or level-based maximum demand control Managing demand 365 days a year Other examples of loads Modular system MDC-20 adjusts to the number of loads in any installation, acquiring only the necessary elements. Communication with remote centralisers enables remote load connection and disconnection in order to simplify and reduce cable distances, thus also improving the response time. xx Possibility of creating load groups with the same priority and FIFO or LIFO connection/disconnection sequence. xx Makes it possible to disable the disconnection of the loads according to the...
