Magnetic Contactor For Taipei 101 New Year's Eve Fireworks

In 2010, Shihlin Electric was choosen to take responsible for the power distribution system in Taipei 101 due to their effective and reliable design of magnetic contactors. Shihlin Electric is Taiwanese multinational conglomerate corporation that has been designing and manufacturing magnetic contactor for more than 50 years. Their magnetic contactor is well-known for its effectiveness.

101 is a building ranked officially as the world's tallest from 2004 until the opening of the Burj Khalifa in Dubai in 2010. In 2010, Taipei 101 cooperated with Shihlin Electric for Taipei 101's power distribution system in order to perform great fireworks. Over the past six years, Taipei 101 has been dazzling people with spectacular fireworks. When the audience starts to count down, every timer to set off the fireworks is precisely controlled by a magnetic contactor at each floor. A low quality magnetic contactor can trigger the timer to set off the fireworks too early or too late and result in disaster. The reason that Shihlin Electric was selected to be the partner for such an important job is because of their switchgear reliability and over 50 years of experience. As a result, magnetic contactor for fireworks launched successfully from Taipei 101 skyscraper on New Year's Eve broadcasts, and Shihlin Electric's relentlessness in designing good power distribution systems paid off.

Taiwan Hsuehshan Tunnel's Usage of Shihlin Electric's Magnetic Contactor

Hsuehshan Tunnel is the longest underground road tunnel in Asia, and it is also the 5th longest tunnel in the world, at nearly 13km (8 miles) long. The selection of Shihlin Electric's magnetic contactor was due to their superior products preventing the humidity in the tunnel. As we know, high temperatures and humidity are the major factors affecting lights' stability and life cycle. Shihlin Electric's magnetic contactors have international certification including UL, CSA, TUV, which means they are suitable for JIS, JEM, IEC, EN and VDE, and their magnetic contactors' high flexibility for various types of uses is also one of their great advantages.

Magnetic Contactor (MC) / Thermal Overload Relay

Self-designed, Self-Developed Automatic MS, MCCB Production Line - Shihlin

Shihlin Electric is a Taiwanese multinational conglomerate corporation that has been providing power distribution system and products globally. Shihlin Electric began to work with Mitsubishi Group 30 years ago for circuit breakers (CB) and magnetic switch (MS)'s development, based on rules to meet Taiwan market.
In Taiwan, their manufacturing technology originally involved technology transfer from Mitsubishi and France’s Transfo, a Schneider Electric Company. To achieve global awareness of being environmentally friendly, the plant is ISO 9000, 14000 certified. About Shihlin - the power distribution system supplier

Magnetic Contactor is used for controlling overloaded appliances and also makes connections - when supplying the coil with the appropriate voltage and the contactor or relay is closed (Turned On). If a magnetic contactor gets jammed and overloads the circuit, the overload coil will automatically cut off the current, thereby de-energizing the coil and thus opening the contacts. Most Emergency or Limit Switches are N.C., and would be wired in a series, usually on the overload side of the control circuit. Magnetic contactors allow high frequency power to go on and off up to more than one thousand times an hour and still wouldn't be a concern. Because of magnetic contactors' great ampere capacity, they are often utilized in factories for things like air conditioners, injection machines, automatic doors, motors, computers, remote controls etc. Heavy industries rely on magnetic contactor to start and keep their machines running smoothly. Therefore, a well-designed power distribution system should assist machines to start and shut down automatically and safely.

Thermal overload relay is a device that protects a motor from overheating due to an overload condition in the machinery. It is essential to choose an appropriate protective device for the safety of the motor during operation and for its durability. A good relay should be responsive, low in coil consumption and is smaller in size. At Shihlin Electric, there are various types of power distribution systems, including magnetic contactors, definite purpose contactors, capacitor contactors, magnetic control relays, thermal overload Relays, star-delta starters, push buttons and auxiliary contactors.

There are international certifications for power distribution systems such as JIS, JEM, IEC, EN and VDE. Wherever you find electricity and electronics, you find the IEC supporting safety and performance, the environment, electrical energy efficiency and renewable energy. IEC's global visions show the strategic importance of standards in business, and as a result, IEC has become the international electric equipment standard. Even today, JIS has modified their standards to adopt the IEC’s rules.

Magnetic Switch (S-P11) has passed safety certification, and they are U.S. (UL), Canadian (CSA), TUV (German), CE (EU), RoHs, ISO14001, ISO 9001, which shows its high standards for the international market.

Magnetic Contactor (S-P11) is a non-reversing/reversing product containing open type, enclosure type and enclosure with a push button. It's rated capacity is 220~240V→kw/HP/A:3/4/12 and 380~440V→kw/HP/A:4/5.5/9, with non-reversing (1a) and reversing (2*1b). MS(S-P11)'s additional accessories are mechanical Interlocks, surge absorbers, and auxiliaries.
