The arrival of the 2026 El Niño has brought an earlier onset of summer high temperatures, driving industrial and residential electricity consumption to record highs and putting power distribution equipment to a severe high-temperature test.
According to forecasts from China’s National Energy Administration and the China Electricity Council, China’s total social electricity consumption in 2026 will reach 10.9 to 11 trillion kWh, with a year-on-year growth of 5% to 6%. The national maximum power load will exceed 1.575 billion kilowatts, potentially surpassing 1.6 billion kilowatts under extreme high temperatures, an increase of 70 million to 90 million kilowatts compared with last year’s peak. Meanwhile, global electricity demand is also surging. As core power consumption scenarios, factories, data centers and commercial buildings have put forward stringent requirements for the stability, safety and overload capacity of power distribution systems. Once equipment failure or protection malfunction occurs, it will easily lead to production shutdowns, data loss and even potential safety accidents.
Faced with the severe challenges of summer peak electricity demand, PEOPLE Electric relies on decades of industrial technology accumulation and a complete industrial-grade product portfolio to build a solid power security line for various industries. The core matching products are as follows:
⭕️ RDW5 Series Intelligent Air Circuit Breaker (ACB)
Suitable for AC 50Hz power distribution networks below 690V, with a rated current up to 6300A. It features intelligent tripping, long-time delay overload protection, short-time delay/instant short-circuit protection and undervoltage protection.
It can accurately cope with high load fluctuations of the power grid in summer, supports remote monitoring and intelligent operation and maintenance, and acts as the core main switch for factories, substations and other key power distribution systems.
⭕️ RDQH5 Series Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS)
Designed for AC 50/60Hz, 400V power systems with a rated current ranging from 16A to 630A, the RDQH5 Series ATS monitors power supply status in real time. It automatically switches to the standby power supply within ≤3 seconds when the main power suffers phase loss, overvoltage or undervoltage faults. Built-in short-circuit and overload protection ensures power supply reliability. It is ideal for high-temperature, heavy-load summer conditions, guaranteeing uninterrupted power for data centers, hospitals, commercial complexes, airports and other critical facilities.
⭕️ RDR5 Series Thermal Overload Relay
Designed for circuits below AC 50/60Hz and 690V with a rated current of 0.1A to 93A. Specially developed for motor protection, it is equipped with temperature compensation and phase failure protection with operation indication functions. It effectively prevents motors from burning out due to overload and phase loss under high-temperature summer conditions and ensures continuous operation of industrial production lines.
⭕️ SBW Series Intelligent Column AC Voltage Stabilizer
Adopting 32-bit microprocessor intelligent control, with output power from 10kVA to 2000kVA and voltage regulation accuracy of ±1%. It integrates overvoltage, overcurrent, overheating and phase loss protection functions. It effectively solves voltage instability caused by lightning strikes and power grid fluctuations in summer, protecting precision equipment and production lines from damage.
