Adopting advanced PC+GF composite material to achieve high flame retardant, heat resistant, and UV resistant characteristics, to protect the user's electrical safety and equipment reliability.
SHENZHEN, China, Dec. 13, 2024 -- CALIN, a leading company in the smart smart metering field, today announced its newly developed material solution for smart meter enclosures. The solution is made of composite materials with excellent physical properties and environmental adaptability, which not only significantly improves the safety and durability of the product, but also provides users with a more reliable electricity experience.
High-end material options:
In order to meet the stringent safety and stability requirements of modern power systems, CALIN has adopted two different ratios of polycarbonate (PC) and glass fiber (GF) reinforcement for the terminal block and housing parts of the product upgrade.
Terminal blocks: Made of PC + 20% GF composite material, they can withstand the scorching wire test up to 960 degrees Celsius and meet the highest level of the International Electrotechnical Commission's IEC standard - Flame Retardant Class V0. This means that the terminal blocks maintain their structural integrity even under extreme heat, effectively preventing fire accidents from occurring. Fire incidents. In addition, the material has excellent ultraviolet (UV) resistance, ensuring that it will not deteriorate or discolor when exposed to outdoor conditions for long periods.
Shell: PC was also chosen as the base material, with 10% glass fiber added for reinforcement. After the 750-degree Celsius burning wire test, it still maintains good mechanical strength and also meets the standard of flame retardant V0. At the same time, it also has excellent UV resistance, which ensures that the appearance of the smart meter is beautiful and long-lasting, and at the same time, it provides a solid protective barrier for the internal electronic components.
Safety First: Building a Safe Power Grid
"We have always prioritized the safety of our customers' electricity." JET (Chief R&D Engineer) said, "By introducing these high-performance materials, we aim to provide the safest and most reliable electricity smart meter products in the market. Whether in a busy city center or a remote rural area, every user can rely on our devices with confidence."
The application of this new material not only reflects CALIN's unremitting pursuit of technological innovation but also is a concrete manifestation of the company's continuous commitment to improving product quality and service level. In the future, CALIN will continue to increase investment in R&D, explore more possible technological breakthroughs, and contribute to the healthy development of the whole industry.
Environmental protection and sustainable development: shared responsibility
It is worth mentioning that while pursuing high performance, CALIN also pays great attention to environmental protection and social responsibility. All materials used are in line with international environmental standards, and the production process minimizes energy consumption and waste emissions, striving to achieve a win-win situation in terms of economic and social benefits.
With the increasing global focus on renewable energy and the accelerating pace of smart grid construction, we believe that this new smart meter housing from CALIN will stand out in the future market competition and become a benchmark in the industry.
