The 20-Outlet Power Bar from Fujitsu/NTT Will Prevent Arc Discharges

These two companies pooled their scientific and manufacturing efforts in order to finally break the curse of the open/closed circuit arc discharge and the unfortunate effects it has on our frail bodies. It would seem that a solution has indeed been found and the result is a new power bar and power plug custom-made for a 400V system with high-voltage direct current distribution.

Safety appears to have been the main concern of Fujitsu Component and NTT Facilities as they developed this product. Consequently, by simply throwing a switch, users will supposedly be able to make sure there’s no voltage generation between the terminals of the power plug unless an ICT device or other loading system is in use.

According to Coolest Gadgets, when someone uses such an apparatus, the power plug must go into the outlet, and then the mechanical switch is to be activated so that the internal contact doesn’t remain open. So, this switch is really important, as it allows users to perform the plugging and unplugging in complete safety (there’s no active voltage at the time), especially compared to the commonly used 100V and 200V AC systems.
The two companies took the safety issue a step further, preventing accidental unplugging or faulty insertion incidents. The plug comes with a special module for blocking arcs; by using magnetic force of a high density, it smothers the evilness of an arc occurring when somebody forgets to activate the mechanical switch before plugging something in. With twenty outlets on the same bar, users would indeed appreciate this. Also, because this system doesn’t have any complex mechanical innards or semiconductors, its power consumption needs are very frugal, close to zero, in fact. Still, the device is not yet ready for commercialization – that will happen sometime next year.
