In the low voltage distribution network Stedin provides switching services, for example switching public lighting, switching boiler relays at customer and switching tariffs at the customer’s kWh meter. The switching facilities are generally installed in the low voltage systems in the electrical distribution stations. In a typical distribution station, there are three electromagnetic relays which switch on or off the power to the load. Two electromagnetic relays are used for switching public lighting and one electromagnetic relay is used for switching tariffs or boilers.

In a typical distribution station, there are three electromagnetic relays which switch on or off the power to the load. Two electromagnetic relays are used for switching public lighting and one electromagnetic relay is used for switching tariffs or boilers.

Stedin requires a switching solution to energise these three electromagnetic relays using a pre-programmed switching schedule, including astronomical time switch.

There are approximately 8 000 locations where this solution needs to be installed.
