BOSTON, Nov. 14, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Schneider Electric, the leader in digital transformation of energy management and automation, today announced the launch of its Easergy P3 system and arc flash protection relay. This protection relay will trip a circuit breaker when a fault is detected and is designed to save operational time and limit equipment damage with state-of-the-art arc flash system protection. The Easergy P3 is focused on efficiency and total cost of implementation, with time saved in procurement, installation, wiring and configuration.

With the latest protection and modern digital communication capabilities, it is a major step forward in Medium Voltage equipment protection and control devices. The Easergy P3 is simple to integrate and operate for panel builders and system integrators. It makes every stage of the project significantly faster, from off-the-shelf product selection, to installation and configuration.

"We know that in the fast-changing world of energy, our customers and partners need better, easier-to-use products with faster delivery," said Daniel Gheno, Senior Vice President of Energy Products & Equipment at Schneider Electric. "The new, digitized Easergy P3 protection relay delivers exactly that to our Medium Voltage electrical distribution customers, thanks to Schneider Electric's Innovation at Every Level. Today's distribution systems are becoming more and more decarbonized, digitized, and decentralized. Safety, reliability, and efficiency are becoming increasingly critical and complex to realize. The Easergy P3 is designed to meet these needs."
