  Square D® Powerlink®G3 systems feature the robust, proven Powerlink remotely operated circuit breaker. This proven design provides long lasting rugged performance, rated to handle the rigors of today’s harsh high-efficiency lighting loads. BIG SAVINGS IN A SMALL PACKAGE REDUCE ENERGY COST Square D Powerlink G3 lighting control systems provide an immediate return on your energy savings investment by automatically switching lights Off during unoccupied periods. This means big savings and a quick payback. Compared with other energy savings technologies, a Powerlink control system can provide both a lower initial capital outlay and greater energy savings. NO ADDITIONAL INSTALLATION COST Powerlink G3 lighting control systems are housed in the lighting panelboard. No extra boxes to mount, relays to wire, or complex panel schedules to decipher. Each Powerlink panel comes from the factory fully assembled and tested. Installing a Powerlink panel takes no more time than mounting a standard lighting panelboard. DESIGN SIMPLICITY Powerlink G3 simplifies a designer’s life by eliminating the need to create special lighting schedules or to negotiate with the architect over limited space constraints. Powerlink G3 systems are also fully code compliant. Meeting today’s energy codes, such as ASHRAE 90.1, requires a system that can be easily adapted to meet many different requirements. Powerlink systems have been designed to offer the utmost flexibility in meeting today’s requirements regarding automatic shut-off, space controls, and daylighting. DESIGN INTEGRITY A Powerlink G3 system is the only lighting control offering that is Underwriters Laboratory (UL) Listed for use on today’s high fault current systems. UL short circuit current ratings are available through 200,000 Amps providing the designer with the only choice in meeting the requirements specified in the National Electrical Code® (NEC) 110-10. By specifying Powerlink G3, designers can comfortably rest knowing that the product is fully code compliant.

With series fasteners or modifications. connected ratings up to 200,000 RMS amperes, Powerlink G3 circuit breakers are designed to handle today's and tomorrow's high short circuit current require- ments. They're proven to perform for 200,000 On/Off/On operations, which far surpasses UL requirements. The circuit breakers are rated for HACR, HID, and SWD loads. Single-, two- and three-pole versions are available in ratings up to 30A.

  One size doesnot fit all. Your lighting control needs are not the same as your neighbor’s; your lighting solutions don’t have to be either. Schneider Electric recognizes that requirements vary among our customers. That is why we have created four systems that can be custom-tailored for you. LIGHTING CONTROLS FOR EVERY NEED 500 LEVEL SYSTEM 1000 LEVEL SYSTEM Basic control for low-voltage Time-of-day control for meeting switching applications today’s energy code requirements Ideal for use in facilities where time-of-day control The low cost choice of designers looking is being managed from a time clock or centralized to provide a code compliant installation. building management system. • Same basic features of a 500 level system • Soft mapping for grouping branch circuits into zones that can be operated as a common group. • Seven-day repeating electronic clock, temperature Up to 64 independent zones can be configured compensated to minimize clock drift. Includes for a single controller automatic daylight savings setbacks, leap year correction, 32 special holiday periods, • Eight input terminations for connecting local and automatic computation of sunrise/sunset times control devices to operate individual lighting zones • Sixteen independently configurable time • Input timers to provide a timed override schedules, each having 24 separate on/off periods capability to local control devices • Sixteen input terminations for connecting local • Blink notification to alert occupants control devices to operate individual lighting zones of an impending ‘lights out’ command • On-board event log (viewable through • RS232/485 port for serial communications PCS software) with other systems using industry recognized Modbus protocol • Breaker run-time counters for tracking burn-time on lighting fixtures. Power supply mounts onto interior and occupies only three pole spaces.

  REMOTE MONITORING AND CONTROLAT YOUR FINGERTIPS Connectivity is the key to managing a lighting system. With Square D Powerlink G3 critical information about the lighting system is always available at your finger tips. With the click of a mouse, users can quickly observe breaker status, the operation of the system, or make configuration changes. PCS software provides users with the convenience of configuring a Powerlink system from a personal computer. PCS software further provides an added level of comfort by providing an archive backup of panel and system configurations. With PCS software, users have immediate access to their lighting control system, whether their computer is connected locally within the building, connected directly to the system controllers front panel, remotely via modem, or via an Ethernet connection. For non-technical users, Web-enabled graphics provide information in an easy to understand format. From the convenience of a standard Web browser, users can switch lighting in their area or make schedule changes without any technical knowledge of the lighting control system.
