The first electrical connector that makes you green

With the rising price of energy, and the global cost of carbon emissions, the trend is increasingly moving to explore the ways in which our total consumption can be reduced to result in less energy-intensive industrial operations.

Industry accounts for more than 30% of global energy consumption which is likely to increase by 50% in the next 30 years. The way we produce, consume and manage energy today is by no means sustainable with electric power being the leading CO² emissions culprit.

Marechal Electric recently undertook laboratory testing in France to benchmark traditional industrial socket-outlets against Marechal’s patented butt contact technology in terms of energy efficiency.

The tests were performed on brand new 32A socket-outlets (1st year of life) as well as 32A socket-outlets (1 year +) showing signs of contact oxidation.

Test results were catagorised according to:

  • Contact Resistance
  • Thermal Dissipation
  • Thermal Loss

Measurements taken at maximum consumption of 32A constant.

The results show that Marechal Electric offers up to 5.7 times less resistance on oxidized contacts than a standard pin and sleeve product.

►     Annual savings for a new device:
        4,5Wh * 365d * 24h = 39 KWh

►     Annual savings after 1 year of use (oxidation):
        15,4Wh * 365d * 24h = 134 KWh

Meaning 80 Kg CO2 per socket / year

(1Kwh = 0,6Kg CO² for electricity production)

Meaning almost 4 trees / year

(21,8Kg CO²/tree/year – OECD source)

Thanks to Marechal’s Dual Voltage design, we can offer two voltages supplied by the same socket-outlet which significantly reduces the socket-outlet installation base and therein constituting a real-time cost saving for the user.

As an experienced partner in the sector, MARECHAL ELECTRIC offers you products and solutions that guarantee your operations energy efficiency and a measurable return at all stages of product life.
