Schneider Electric sets new standards for digitally connected circuit protection with FeederSeT launch
- New FeederSeT range elevates circuit protection offering with improved monitoring to improve reliability
- Set to be manufactured at Schneider Electric’s new £42m facility in Scarborough, North Yorkshire
Schneider Electric, the leader in the digital transformation of energy management and automation, announces the launch of FeederSeT - a new product range bringing advanced digital connectivity to circuit protection solutions.
The FeederSeT range has been designed to support both sustainability and smart system intelligence. It features comprehensive asset health monitoring capabilities, while being adaptable and scalable in line with needs, making it a future-proof choice for any application.
Products delivering digitally connected protection for modern energy systems with FeederSeT Active: FeederSeT CB, the new name for the NS feeder pillar offer, is natively equipped for digital upgrades, with onboard environmental and thermal monitoring that supports futureproofing from the outset as well as optional connection to Schneider Electric’s EcoStruxure™ Asset Advisor for 24/7 cloud-based visibility. This additional digital connectivity is exclusive to the FeederSeT CB offer.
The move reflects a renewed focus on future-ready design, monitoring and control capabilities, and ease of integration into digital environments. The FeederSeT range is underpinned by rigorous product testing and validation including temperature rise testing and advanced sensor integration, ensuring reliability and compliance across a wide range of environments.
The FeederSeT range will be manufactured at Schneider Electric’s new manufacturing facility in Scarborough, North Yorkshire, when it opens later this year following a £42m investment by the firm.
To simplify the product range for customers, Schneider Electric is also grouping its existing low voltage offers under the new FeederSeT brand name including:
- NS Feeder Pillar becomes FeederSeT CB
- Shielded becomes FeederSeT Shielded
- SAIF becomes FeederSeT SAIF
- MODE becomes FeederSeT MODE
- SHiPS becomes FeederSeT SHiPS
“FeederSeT isn’t just a new name, it’s a smarter, digitally connected approach to circuit protection. With integrated monitoring and control, this portfolio helps our customers build more resilient, responsive systems while laying the groundwork for future innovation,” said David Pownall, Schneider Electric’s Vice President of Power Systems UK&I.
“We’ve built FeederSeT with flexibility in mind, from native upgradeability to extended voltage range, because we know that infrastructure needs can change fast. This is about giving organisations tools that grow and change with them.”
