Save Energy and Costs with the Arkel RGN-B06 Elevator Regenerative Unit

Technical Specifications (Highlights):

What is the Arkel RGN-B06?

The Arkel RGN-B06 is a cutting-edge regenerative drive specifically designed for elevators. This reliable 6kW unit easily integrates with your current elevator system. It works by capturing the energy generated during braking and turning it into usable electricity. Instead of wasting this energy as heat, the RGN-B06 lets you recover and reuse it, leading to significant savings on your energy bills.

Key Features and Benefits:

• Significant Energy Savings: Compared to elevators without regeneration, the RGN-B06 can save up to 35% on energy consumption. This translates to major cost reductions over the life of your elevator.

• High Performance: Powerful and reliable with a 6kW rating, suitable for many elevator types.

• Easy Upgrades: Simple on-site updates via USB connectivity ensure you always have the latest features.

• Green Building Ready: Helps achieve green building certifications like LEED or BREEAM, demonstrating your commitment to sustainability.

• Broad Compatibility: Works with both synchronous and asynchronous motors and ARCODE controllers (models 14, 17, 26, 35, 50, and 75 A).

• EU Standards Compliant: Fully meets EU-Norms for feeding power back to the grid, ensuring safety and reliability in EU markets.

• Versatile Braking: Compatible with NON-EU dynamic braking units, making it suitable for various markets.

• Compact Design: Small dimensions (347.50mm x 512mm x 271mm) for easy installation, even in tight machine rooms.

• High Power Quality: THD < 5% ensures minimal harmonic distortion and protects your electrical equipment.

How Does It Work? ♻️

Elevator motors often become generators, especially when:

• Going down with a heavy load: The weight pulls the elevator down, generating energy.

• Going up with a light load: The counterweight is heavier, pulling the cabin down and generating energy as the motor lifts.

Normally, this energy is wasted as heat. The Arkel RGN-B06 captures this energy and sends it back into your building’s electrical system. This recycled energy can then power other systems like lights, HVAC, or even other elevators.
