2. System components: Overview
The PowerPlex
®
system of E-T-A is a comprehensive on-board system combining safety, convenience and
reliability. PowerPlex
®
allows individual and flexible concepts of switching the illumination, acoustic and special
signals and lots more. It automatically switches loads and immediately indicates undesired conditions of the
devices or of the entire electrical installation. Thus it is ensured, that everything works precisely - which is
reassuring, as the loads often are not in plain sight. E-T-A PowerPlex
®
is a decentralised power distribution system
with electronic protection – clearly reflecting trends of the future.
Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 show typically PowerPlex
®
solutions with an application-specific number of PowerPlex
®
components - modules and control units – installed at various positions.
