At the recent Data Centre World London event, Schneider Electric unveiled a game-changing innovation in the realm of power distribution – the MasterPacT MTZ Active low voltage air circuit breaker.

Designed to meet the critical demands of industries such as data centres, the MasterPacT MTZ Active is set to redefine the standards for efficiency and sustainability.

Bridging the Gap to Enhanced Efficiency and Safety

The digital age demands relentless uptime from data centres, a challenge compounded by rising energy costs and an increasing emphasis on sustainable operations. Schneider Electric's latest offering addresses these needs head-on. Ionut Farcas, Senior Vice President of the Europe & International Hub, Power Products Division at Schneider Electric, emphasised the transformative nature of the MasterPacT MTZ Active, particularly its capacity to make energy usage data accessible in real-time. "The new MasterPacT MTZ Active makes the invisible visible," Farcas explained, underlining the significance of real-time data in driving informed energy management decisions.

This level of visibility is crucial for data centre operators. It empowers them to optimise their energy consumption, reduce waste, and enhance overall efficiency. The MasterPacT MTZ Active's design prioritises not only operational efficiency but also safety and sustainability.

A Closer Look at Innovative Features

One of the MasterPacT MTZ Active's most innovative features is its control unit, equipped with a pioneering QR code solution. This QR code provides immediate access to critical information, allowing for quick identification of issues and facilitating the decision-making process for corrective actions. This feature significantly reduces downtime in high-stakes environments by offering a practical alternative to sifting through extensive documentation during overload events.

Moreover, the MasterPacT MTZ Active introduces new safety benchmarks in the data centre sector. The circuit breaker comes with an Energy Reduction Maintenance Setting (ERMS), which notably enhances safety for maintenance personnel by mitigating arc flash hazards. Additionally, its control unit design streamlines the adjustment of protection functions such as current, time delays, and alarms, thereby ensuring robust safety and reliability.

Global Rollout and Industry Impact

The MasterPacT MTZ Active represents a significant leap forward in the pursuit of more efficient, safe, and sustainable power distribution solutions for critical industries. Its global rollout signifies Schneider Electric's commitment to innovation and its dedication to addressing the evolving challenges faced by the data centre industry. By offering unparalleled efficiency, enhanced safety features, and the ability to manage energy use effectively, the MasterPacT MTZ Active is poised to set a new standard in power distribution technology.
