With the successful type tests completed, NOJA Power has commenced manufacture of the EcoLink against advance orders, and has opened the order books for further demand. Deliveries will commence from November 2024.
The EcoLink is a 15 kV rated, 100 A continuous current fuse link mounted circuit breaker designed to replace fuses on rural lines and fused lateral feeders.
The EcoLink product mounts in existing medium voltage fuse holders, and is configured to interrupt faults in the same time as a conventional fuse, except it has the ability to reclose.
Given that 80% of faults on the overhead line are transient, a single successful reclose of an EcoLink will restore power and often save network operators more than the cost of the install in maintenance and replacements.
NOJA Power’s EcoLink product was successfully type tested for duty at the KEMA facility in Arnhem Netherlands.
“The EcoLink is the most innovative product NOJA Power has
ever developed, we are very proud of it we are excited to have launched production,” says NOJA Power Group Managing Director Neil O’Sullivan.
“I am sure this product will make a significant global impact to electricity distribution networks.”
