GE POWER CONTROLS INTRODUCES PRO-TEC 3000
07 April 2003 - GE Industrial Systems

GE Power Controls has announced a new public lighting control management system, the Pro-Tec 3000. The system offers a wide variety of management and protection capabilities as well as a considerably saving on cable cost, meaning a quick return on your safety investment. Traditionally, public lighting cables have lacked a protection relay system-the vital component that protects against short circuits. To compensate for this missing safety feature, cable has to be thicker then necessary with an oversize cross section and shorter lengths between repeaters. GE, inventors of the light bulb, now provides solution to better and more safely manage public lighting needs.

Pro-tec 3000 offers also a wide range of management and monitoring capabilities, enabling measurements such as number and timing of faults detected, current value at time of and even the cause of fault. Additionally, the system incorporates a high degree of flexibility to handle increased demand as it occurs. Repair requirements can be pinpointed rapidly, reducing downtime, expediting repairs, and improving public safety.

These substantial improvements in safety management, allow lighting operators to reduce the diameter of the cable required, as well as increase distances between relays. The Pro-tec 3000 is an innovative system that can offer a quantifiable return on your investment.
