Triggers

Triggers - the invisible guardians of your electrical installation

Triggers are invisible guards that watch over the security of your home or business 24/7.   They may not look impressive, but believe me, without them your electrical system would be like a car without brakes!

Triggers - Different types for different needs

Okay, this may sound complicated, but don't worry - I'll explain everything step by step. We offer several types of triggers:

• Undervoltage releases
• Instantaneous undervoltage releases
• Voltage (shock) releases
• Operating current releases
• Terminal block releases
• Triggers with signaling
• Delayed triggers

Wondering what the difference is? It's simple!   Each of them reacts to different conditions in the electrical installation.   For example, an undervoltage release will operate when the voltage drops below a certain level. In contrast, a shunt release will respond when the voltage rises above a safe value.

In my experience, most customers ask about instantaneous undervoltage releases. Do you know why? Because it is a kind of guard that immediately cuts off the power supply as soon as it detects a voltage drop. This is super important in installations where we cannot afford even short-term power outages.

Triggers - how to choose the right model?

Choosing the right trigger can be a challenge. But don't worry, I'm here to help!   When selecting a release, you must consider several factors: the type of installation, the type of device being protected, the required electrical parameters and the operating conditions.

For example, if you have an installation where it is important to quickly cut off the power supply in the event of a fault, I recommend an instantaneous undervoltage release. Or maybe you need something with an indication? Then a release with an indication will be a bull's eye - it will not only work when needed, but also let you know that something is wrong.

And now an interesting fact - did you know that delayed releases are a great solution for installations where short-term voltage fluctuations may occur? Instead of immediately turning off the power, they give the installation a moment to "stabilize". Clever, right?

Triggers - Brands You Can Trust

In our wholesale store we focus on proven brands.   Personally, I have the greatest confidence in products from Eaton, Schneider Electric and Legrand.   Why? Because over the years of work I have found that they offer great quality and reliability.

Eaton is such American solidity - their trip units are easy to install and rarely cause problems. Schneider Electric? It's a French giant that focuses on innovation - their trip units often have additional functions that make life easier for electricians. And Legrand? It's such Italian style combined with reliability - their products not only work great, but also look good (yes, I know it's just a trip unit, but details are important!).

Let's not forget about other brands like Emas, Eti or Hager. Each of them has its strengths and is worth considering, especially if you are looking for something specific or have a limited budget.
