REFERENCE PROJECT: FAIR DÜSSELDORF
RELIABLE WIRING FOR LED LIGHTING IN THE ROOF
Wieland Electric ensures reliable wiring for the LED lighting in the new roof construction at the Düsseldorf Trade Fair grounds.
FAIR DÜSSELDORF
The fair Düsseldorf is a globally recognised exhibition centre and venue for a variety of international trade fairs and exhibitions. It attracts thousands of exhibitors and visitors from various industries annually. Wieland Electric is also proud to be represented at Messe Düsseldorf. As an innovative provider of electrical engineering solutions, we regularly participate in significant events like Euroshop. Messe Düsseldorf offers an ideal platform to showcase our products and solutions to a wide audience and connect with customers and industry experts.
Stretching futuristically over the forecourt of Hall 1, a "floating" roof structure spans the Düsseldorf Trade Fair grounds. Covering an area of 7,800 sqm, the canopy protects fair visitors from the elements and creates a bright, friendly atmosphere thanks to its translucent design. Impressively, the canopy also shines at night with innovative LED lighting. The underlying electrical installation, for which the Bamberg-based technology company Wieland Electric is responsible, plays a crucial role in the longevity of the lighting.
The canopy covers an area of 7,800 square meters and also protects parts of the infrastructure.
For the lighting installation of the massive canopy, over 1,500 DALI lights had to be wired. Wieland Electric relied on its proven RST® connector system for this. The high IP protection allows the components to be safely used outdoors, even in harsh environments. To further protect the complex wiring from external influences, Wieland Electric also used robust industrial enclosures from Spelsberg, certified to IP66 and custom-made to optimise the available space. The pre-wired and colour-coded connectors of the RST® system, based on the Plug & Play principle, enabled the entire electrical installation to be completed in just three weeks.
OUR EXPERT SAYS
The advent of LED technology has opened up new lighting possibilities both indoors and outdoors. To meet the associated demands for flexibility, longevity, and aesthetics, electrical installations require thoughtful components that blend seamlessly into the architecture while withstanding harsh environments and allowing for easy installation.
Each project has its specific requirements. In this case, the challenge was to combine all functionalities in a compact design. The solution demonstrates the perfect interplay of two RST® product families. RST® CLASSIC ensures the 5-pole power supply between the distribution points. In parallel, the dimming signal runs via the 2-pole RST® MINI. The star-shaped distribution is handled by a 5-pole RST® MINI connector, which supplies the symmetrically distributed phases in the distributor in combination with the dimming signal to the light. All coded! Misconnection is impossible. Lastly, Wieland Electric terminal blocks within the distributor round off the perfect interplay of our products.
