In India’s dynamic utility sector landscape, digital transformation has become a driving force. This transition is spearheading the operations and enhancing efficiency. The major players like Panasonic have readily adopted innovative technologies to lead the industry. Yogesh Verma delves into the evolving trends to opine about the sector with the EPR Magazine.

Digital transition

The utility sector in India is undergoing a remarkable digital transformation driven by various key factors aiming to optimise power generation and distribution. The combination of technological advancements, innovation, government initiatives, emerging trends like IoT, AI and the need for data-driven decision-making collectively drive the adoption of digital solutions for a sustainable and customer-focused ecosystem.

Digitalisation in the switchgear industry has evolved. Today, smart switchgear is equipped with sensors that can be monitored in real-time. PEWIN now has systems that can quickly detect any problem in equipment and even prevent unexpected breakdowns in real-time. This data monitoring has helped reduce downtime while giving proactive benefits to operational activities.

Switchgears industry boost

Government investments in infrastructure projects have increased demand for switchgear equipment. Encourage projects to use switches that isolate and safeguard electrical equipment, such as MCBs and RCCBs. The core aim of these projects is to reduce the industry’s carbon impact and empower renewable energy sources, such as promoting electric vehicles. In the four-wheeler category, EV charging stations require switchgear protection devices such as MCBs and plug and sockets, increasing demand for DC and AC switchgear devices. Panasonic (PEWIN) is dedicated to meeting these expectations with the help of its innovative products like Uno and Uno+, along with our other products.

Innovations to compete in the evolving market

Panasonic (PEWIN) is a leading player in the switchgear category, manufacturing switchgear with the lowest defects. In recent years, PEWIN introduced a large selection of Uno+ MCBs, RCCBs, and DBs that are of the highest quality and have the most attractive designs. Numerous distributors, dealers, and direct consumers have expressed interest in these products. As a comprehensive system of communication boxes for the ideal home, PEWIN has created Panasonic Communication DB.

This year, Texture DB was introduced with a cutting-edge design that complements walls. PEWIN is developing additional modular switchgear devices to round out its selection. In addition, PEWIN is growing the Panasonic product line to meet the growing market demands in the switchgear sector.

Key features of UNO Plus range

PEWIN has recently launched its new UNO Plus Switchgear series. The new Uno Plus range comprises Miniature Circuit Breaker (MCB), Residual Current Operated Circuit Breaker (RCCB), and Distribution Boards (DB). The range is backed with the highest-ever 7-year warranty, being offered for the first time in India on MCBs (0.5A to 63A). Apart from this, the UNO Plus range has numerous unique features to boast in the 10kA segment.  

The customer’s convenience has taken priority. PEWIN MCB can be connected in any direction, irrespective of connecting LINE to Top/bottom terminals. The size of the terminals is designed to connect 35 sq.mm large cross-section cables for terminals. The user’s safety is ensured by incorporating safety shutters in the design. Environmental safety is maintained by designing RoHS-compliant products.

The new range of Distribution Boards will add a new definition to Electrical devices and be an epitome of beauty in home and office premises. The all-new UNO Plus Switchgear series has been designed to provide customers with superior design products with utmost safety and security. This range is manufactured at the Haridwar facility in India.
