Schneider Electric adds 60 Amp Square D Control Relay
Schneider Electric expanded its relay portfolio this week with the 60 Amp Square D Control Relay. Smart circuits and electric panels are all the rage right now to gain more control of home loads, often installed in conjunction with an energy storage system or EV charger. This new 60 Amp Square D Control Relay adds app-based control and energy monitoring for larger loads, including induction cooktops, electric ranges, and EV chargers.
The 60 Amp Square D Control Relay is integrated into Schneider Electric’s QO Smart Panel Solution, which includes the full line of Square D Control Relays and the Schneider Energy Monitor.
“The home’s electrical system needs to evolve to meet the changing needs of today’s homeowners and the growing challenges of our aging electrical grid,” said Marta Asack, Senior Vice President, Home & Distribution North America, Schneider Electric. “As the shift to more efficient electrical home appliances continues, electrical systems need to not only accommodate, but easily manage the functionality, safety, and energy use of these new, larger loads. Now, our easy-to-install QO Smart Panel solution empowers homeowners when adding heat pumps, EV chargers, and other larger loads, by meeting those changing needs.”
Schneider Home
Installing the QO Smart Panel Solution allows any homeowner to tap into the power of Schneider Home, providing millions with smart panel benefits, like system-wide energy monitoring and circuit-level-control, to save energy and enhance safety. Whether updating their existing Square D™ QO™ Plug-on Neutral electrical panel or installing a new panel, homeowners can inexpensively add smart functionality only where it’s needed to better manage their energy use and reduce their utility bills.
Schneider Electric residential products are installed and trusted in four out of 10 U.S. homes. Available at electrical distributors nationwide, these solutions can be quickly and easily installed by a licensed electrician. The Square D Control Relays are designed to snap directly onto the Square D QO Plug-on Neutral breakers, while the Schneider Energy Monitor can be added directly into the panel at the same time. Commissioning for both devices can be done quickly through the app, allowing the homeowner to monitor and control their energy use conveniently from their mobile device.
