Why Is ELV System A Core Construction Requirement
The ELV system or Extra Low Voltage system is a need of today’s construction. It provides voltage to equipment and appliances that consume very less energy such as LAN, CCTV, Fire alarms etc.
All these things consume very less energy that is why it is necessary to have centralised wiring that can interlink all of them and provide them voltage at minimum cost.
These systems are essential building requirement. Therefore, one cannot ignore them. And to ensure they do not put a constraint on your budget, you must consider the ELV system in your building design phase.
To derive valuable benefits from this system, you need to take help from the expert ELV system design consultant.
Here are some of the points that help justify how this system supports your building:
1) It provides a single cabling path
By employing this system, we can get a unified path for voltage supply to all pieces of equipment that are low voltage consuming.
2) It is safe
It is very crucial to separate both low voltage and high voltage equipment. It can be problematic for the low voltage equipment as they can be overloaded with high energy and thus can fuse.
ELV system provides your building with a balanced and uniform low voltage circuit.
Also, those appliances that need high voltage are interconnected through a separate high voltage circuit.
Therefore, your building is safe from major electric shocks and fire.
3) It is a Cost-effective solution
As this system uses a single cabling path for most appliances that operate on low voltage. This integrated ELV system saves us from the extra cost implied on cabling.
This cost saving and safety from significant fire incidents present a cost-effective solution for your building design.
4) It supports
This design solution implemented by qualified ELV design consultant supports the access control systems, the CCTV and security systems. It also gives additional connectivity with the computer and digital appliances.
5) Can be managed remotely
As it is an IP based system, it can be remotely managed. Re-configuring it is also easy. Therefore, if the system encounters any problem, it can be easily scrutinised and solved.
Moreover, this system also has a low maintenance cost and brings many new features to your building in particular and lives in general.
Take a home message!
In contrary to what we used to have many years back, it is very hard that we find a building here in the UAE where ELV system is not a part of the construction.
That time is gone when we used to have separate cables for every single appliance we were using in our home. That was the old conventional way, which was not only messy but also incurs an additional cost.
But in this era, with a lot of technological innovations, our buildings have a best and cost-effective solution in the form of ELV or Extra Low Voltage system.
And thus you need to a team of professional ELV engineers to provide technologically advanced and cost-effective solution to your business design.
