Schneider Electric Experience

This section is a collection of documents intended for engineers and technicians, people in the industry who are looking for more in-depth information in order to complement that given in product catalogs. Furthermore, Schneider Electric’s guides, papers and “Cahiers Techniques” are often considered as very helpful “tools” for training courses.

Schneider Electric Cahiers Techniques – A collection of documents intended for engineers and technicians
Schneider Electric Cahiers Techniques – A collection of documents intended for engineers and technicians

Schneider Electric provides knowledge on new technical and technological developments in the electrotechnical field and electronics. They also provide a better understanding of various phenomena observed in electrical installations, systems, and equipment.

Each “Cahier Technique” provides an in-depth study of a precise subject in the fields of electrical networks, protection devices, monitoring and control, and industrial automation systems.


About Schneider Electric

Schneider Electric SA. The Group’s principal activities are electricity and automation management. The Group operates under three major segments: electrical distribution, automation and control and secured energy.

Under Electricity distribution, the company offers electrical products such as circuit breakers, switches, safety lighting, prefabricated busbar trunking, modular switchgear, power line carrier communication networks, and voice-data-image solutions. Under Automation and Control, Schneider offers products to control and supply power to equipment such as contactors, overload relays, soft starters, speed drives, sensors, and operator terminals.

Schneider Electric operates mainly in Europe, Asia Pacific, and North America. In 2008, Schneider Electric acquired ECP Tech Services, Marisio, Wessen, RAM Industries, Xantrex, DMS and American Power Conversion (APC).

In past 40 years Schneider Electric released over 70 technical publications related to electricity and automation, and these publications are listed in this section.

    I have been associated with the design & manufacture of High Current & High Voltage Busbars for more than 45 years. I am in the process of writing a book titled “An Introduction to Busbar Systems” and expect it to be ready for publication by this year end.

    One of the chapters in the book is devoted to IMPEDANCE. I would like to seek permission from SCHNEIDER to capture information available in “Cashier technique no. 83” to be incorporated in the book. Needless to state that any of the content reproduced in the book will acknowledge the source.

    I would appreciate a positive response at your earliest convenience. Please feel free to contact me for any specific information that you may desire in connection with the above request.

    Best regards

    Sincerely yours

    Balachandran

    As you know the Schneider group make one of the best relay,s “sepam series” and also other kind of protection. so a book or a paper about protection will be very useful

      Yes indeed! SEPAM is good protection relay with bunch of possibilities. However, maybe I will publish some technical article about SEPAM relays with info and catalogue or paper for download.

      Thanks fot the tip Mirjani!
