Bayanat Engineering Qatar: Supplying with extra-low voltage and current systems

Nowadays, we see more and more enterprises invest in extra-low voltage (ELV) and current systems. These systems are energy and cost efficient and implementing them into what is called a “smart building” promotes both sustainability and interconnectivity within the infrastructure. It comes as no surprise that airports around the world are, too, beginning to incorporate the ELV systems into their construction. Hamad International Airport is no exception, having been supplied by the Bayanat Engineering group with Extra-low voltage and current systems. 

“So, where exactly are these systems used?” one might ask. Spoiler: the employment of the ELV stretches across a number of sectors in the airport framework. It covers anything from security and communications to air conditioning to cell phone and wireless distribution - and these are only a few examples! But before exploring some of uses, let us first explain what Extra-low voltage and current systems are.  Explaining ELV and low current systems Extra-low voltage and current systems are put in places where a risk of an electricity-related hazard may occur. This, of course, implies a plethora of different infrastructure within an airport. In engineering, a device using the ELV system is one that operates in the range of 50 Volts alternative current (V a.c.) and 120 Volts direct current (V d.c.). Special isolating transformers deliver power to these devices through their secondary windings (coils that carry energy at the transformed voltage to the appliance).
