| Electropatent underfloor power distribution system meet the growing requirement for mobility within the modern office environment by offering total flexibility in the distribution of electrical power. |  |
| The Multipoint Powerfloor system contains 6mm sq. hard copper conductor, formed in the configuration necessary to accept the pins of a 13 or 32 Amp plug. The socket assembly, with an integral spring loaded shutter, to BS 1363, simply fits over the configuration and is held in place by the outer cover. The plug is thus inserted directly into the copper conductor, eliminating the requirement for other component parts, significantly reducing potential heat build-up within the system and increasing reliability |  |
Approvals
Multipoint holds ASTA certificate No. 3969/33 LC25: each socket configuration
must withstand 15,000 insertions and withdrawals of the plug. It also
meets the requirements of the 16th I.E.E. Edition of Wiring Regulations.
THE BENEFITS
- Multipoint Powerfloor is suitable for installation in most types of raised access floors.
- Powerfloor modular units are fully factory-assembled. Modules supplied complete - no extra parts to order.
- Fast and cost-effective installation. Reduced installation times afforded by plug-in method.
- Cost-effectiveness can be increased by lengthening pig-tails and floorbox connectors.
- Sockets can be accessed with ease, allowing simple re-sitting of furniture with minimum disturbance.
- Easy to access for routine maintenance, with the minimum number of points requiring regular inspection.
- British made, designed, built and tested in accordance with the relevant British Standards.
- A system which offers maximum flexibility in underfloor installations.
- Simple in design with the minimum number of items in the system.
- Can be used in
ceiling, in factories and aircraft hangars - for lighting as well as
power. Also can be suspended from rods and chains.
FLEXIBILITY
Generally designed on a 3m grid, the underfloor sockets can always be
accessed, irrespective of furniture layout.
VERSATILITY
There is a basic set of components, which are:-
- Mains Connection
Module(MCM)
- Extension Module
(any length lead)
- Floor box connector (any length)
A multitude of options are available for example:
- Ring or radial circuit modules
- Modules with varying numbers of sockets
- Colour-coded modules each meeting specific design requirements
MOBILITY
Moving workstations or offices thus becomes a simplified operation with
minimum cost, time and disturbance.
