Imagine a world where powering your electrical devices, lighting environments, charging your electric vehicle, or even supplying energy to an entire office building is achievable through nothing more than using just an ordinary electrical wire or a simple "computer cable". This concept, once considered far-fetched, is swiftly becoming feasible thanks to the introduction of the Fault Managed Power Systems (FMPS) standards, as established in the 2023 National Electrical Code (NEC) under Article 726, also referred to as Class 4.
This innovative leap in electrical distribution systems is poised to revolutionize the way we think about and utilize power in a myriad of applications, bringing practical benefits and advantages to virtually every scenario where electricity is a necessity.
Leading the charge in this technological revolution is Equinox Power, whose innovative Modulated Current™ technology is designed to not only comply with but also surpass the standards set by the FMPS guidelines. This technology is not merely about facilitating the delivery of electricity to your premises; it represents a fundamental reimagining of how electricity and data traverse through power lines. Equinox Power's approach harmonizes power distribution with high-fidelity telematics, breaking through traditional barriers to establish a new standard for efficiency, safety, and connectivity.
The cornerstone of this advancement is Equinox Power's Ingenious Power Line Communication (iPLC™) technology. iPLC™ embodies the synergy of robust, shock-safe power delivery and seamless data communication, utilizing the same conductor pairs that power devices. Unlike typical Power Line Communication (PLC) systems, iPLC™ does not use or rely on any third-party PLC controllers, which can increase costs and complexity while potentially lowering system reliability. Instead, it features inherent PLC capabilities, underpinned by its proprietary Modulated Current™ algorithm. This integration ensures a cost-effective, efficient, and safe transmission of both power and data, marking a significant leap forward in electrical power distribution and highlighting iPLC™ as more than just a run-of-the-mill PLC solution.
As FMPS technology begins to gain traction, Equinox Power's Modulated Current™ solution stands out for its exceptional performance in outdoor environments. Its noise-immune characteristics, built-in high fidelity remote telematics, and cable-agnostic nature make it a valuable asset in the telecommunications sector, particularly for powering 5G small cells networks. This technology enables reliable power delivery over several miles, showcasing its significant potential to transform the landscape of outdoor distributed power systems.
Although the FMPS standard defined by the 2023 NEC is not currently applicable for deployment in dwelling places, its application in non-dwelling locations such as hallways, parking stalls, stadiums, office buildings, outside plants (OSPs), industrial work areas and more, is vast and wide-reaching. It's important to recognize that, as with any innovative idea, mainstream acceptance and implementation often take time. However, as adoption of FMPS technology grows among stakeholders for these non-residential applications, its benefits in terms of cost savings, practicality, and safety are expected to drive its expansion. The journey towards broader FMPS adoption underscores our commitment to innovation, aiming for a future where the technology's use in dwelling places becomes a possibility as well.
