Innovation through excellence
Our commitment to you Our UK design team works with over 200 engineers at Havells QRG Center for Research and Innovation developing new switchgear products for the UK market. We are committed to understanding the changing needs of our customers, and to continue to bring new ideas and solutions for electrical distribution. Product innovation is at the heart of Havells Switchgear. Getting close to the issues facing the installer today, enables our team to find the solutions for tomorrow. With evolving regulations and standards in the UK, the electrical installer faces a challenging task in achieving cost effective solutions, whilst at the same time, ensuring compliance with local and european regulations. Often, the wider application requirements associated with electrical distribution, create the biggest challenges in a project, so anticipating these requirements and integrating the capability within the base product, can provide the most hassle free approach and confidence in the end solution.
Surge Protection Havells Switchgear core competence is concentrated on circuit protection but understands that there are other important technologies which directly impact electrical distribution. Therefore Havells recognise the benefit of working with key technology partners and none are more in tune with the requirements for over voltage protection than Furse® (Thomas and Betts). As such the Havells complete offer, including distribution boards and MCCB panel boards are enhanced by our alliance with Furse. A guide to surge protection and compliance to both BS EN 62305 and the latest amendment to the IET Wiring Regulations, BS 7671:2008 (+A1:2011) can be found on pages 36-41. In partnership with

Innovation through excellence
Metering Solutions Part L2 of the building regulations has fundamentally changed how electrical systems for buildings are designed and installed. It has introduced a requirement to measure energy consumption in buildings and create an energy performance certificate to demonstrate compliance. Havells offers a comprehensive solution to metering and measuring energy consumption. There is a range of retrofit meter management units and the innovative Quikwire with plug and play technology - reducing installation time and errors due to incorrect wiring. The metering range also consists of integrated metering boards such as the unique Tri-Load – the only standard distribution board that has a flexible three sectioned metered design.

Meter Management Units (MMU)
Quality features • Meters fitted to terminals for ease of installation • CT ratios have been pre-set saving time and reducing risk of errors that could lead to incorrect readings • Enclosures are IP65 and include glandless cable access with transparent cover for easy viewing • MID approved (legal requirement for tenant billing) • Compact Mini Clip CTs feature a safe disconnect feature allowing safe maintenance of the meter
Ordering Meter Management Units Both enclosure and CTs are clearly labelled, to indicate current flow and correct mounting ensuring integrity of installation.
Refurbishment of electrical distribution systems within commercial buildings often requires additional metering which is difficult to install due to existing constraints. Meter Management Units are IP65 metering enclosures fitted with preconfigured multi-function meters and pre-wired split-core current transformers, specifically designed for such retro-fit applications. The range comprises five configurations up to 250A with MID approved metering available for reliable landlord billing applications.
Meter fully configured for current transformer ratio and voltage output.

installers life easy when considering metering.
What is MID? The Measuring Instruments Directive (MID) was introduced by the European Commission to promote free trade of measuring instruments throughout Europe. Any meter used for billing of electricity, must be either MID approved or approved under UK national legislation. Meters already installed, that were approved under UK national legislation prior to October 2006 may remain installed indefinitely, as long as they are measuring accurately. Any new meter manufactured and approved after October 2006 must be approved under the MID regulations. In the UK, the MID is applicable for loads up to 100kW. After October 2016 every new meter installed for billing must be MID approved. It is a criminal offence to use a non approved meter for billing.

Earth electrodes, electrical cables and the circuitry of the electronic equipment (once damaged), are all better conductors than soil. Partial lightning current therefore channels through the structure via separate earths, and as the current attempts to flow, devastating transient overvoltages occur across the sensitive components of the equipment.

The lightning discharge or transient overvoltage is impeded from reaching further into the structure and is instead diverted safely to earth. In doing so, the SPD prevents dangerous sparking through flashover and also protects equipment.

SPD Coordination Coordination of SPDs within the electrical installation is required by both BS 7671 and BS EN 62305. BS EN 62305 establishes that the coordinated SPD approach to transient overvoltages requires the creation of a series of ‘Lightning Protection Zones’ (LPZs). Within the LPZ concept, zones are defined within a building based on the level of risk, with each zone having successively less
The benefits of choosing the Havells/Furse® solution
The Havells/Furse ® solution effectively removes all the product selection and installation variables of BS 7671 for transient overvoltage protection on AC power supplies.
The Furse ® ESP mains power SPD is an enhanced SPD to BS EN 62305, designed to protect both the susceptibility and withstand voltage of electrical equipment.
Havells Type ‘A’ SPN, Type ‘B’ TPN and MCCB distribution
Installation is hassle-free as all components and instructions are provided in the SPD kit, enabling contractors to progress quickly throughout the site without worrying about the effectiveness of the installed protection, saving both time and cost.
Once installed, it will provide reliable, long lasting transient overvoltage protection of the AC power supply, with the ability to withstand repeated transients and give clear pre end-of-life warning, allowing plenty of time for replacement, so as to ensure users are not left unprotected.

For practical installation purposes on AC power lines, the boundaries between LPZs are expected to be at the service entrance/main distribution board, sub-distribution board and terminal equipment levels. Poor coordination could mean that the downstream SPDs or terminal equipment are subject to too high a transient overvoltage. Use of SPDs from a single manufacturer however, as per the Havells/Furse ® solution, will ensure SPD coordination across all LPZs.

transient overvoltage protection, including:
A lightning current/equipotential bonding SPD is installed at the service entrance (LPZ boundary 0/1) to handle the majority of surge energy, sufficiently relieving transient overvoltage SPDs (LPZ boundary 1/2) installed downstream (typically at sub-distribution level or local to critical equipment) to control transient overvoltages to safe levels.
Note: within the illustration, 2 internal zones are shown for simplicity, although more zones may be applicable dependent on the installation/equipment to be protected.
Installation of Furse ESP mains power SPDs only reduces risk of transient overvoltages entering the structure on mains power lines where the protectors are installed. Transient overvoltages may enter the structure via any metallic services connected to it. For full protection, installation of SPDs to protect all incoming and outgoing services (mains/data) needs to be assessed.
Furthermore, it should not be considered that installation of Furse ESP mains power SPDs alone constitutes a Lightning Protection System for a structure. Lightning protection for structures must be risk assessed in accordance with BS EN 62305 in order to ensure all appropriate protection measures are taken
