Cence Power provides an intelligent DC power ecosystem that replaces traditional high‑voltage AC wiring with low‑voltage (Class 2) and fault‑managed high‑voltage (Class 4) DC distribution. By delivering DC directly from the utility to devices such as LED lighting, telecom gear, and HVAC, the system eliminates separate AC‑to‑DC drivers, reduces line losses and conduit costs, and offers cloud‑based monitoring and automated energy‑saving controls for commercial, healthcare, and data‑center buildings.

Problem
Traditional building electrical systems rely on high‑voltage AC distribution and individual AC‑to‑DC drivers for devices such as LED lighting, telecom equipment, and HVAC. These conversions waste up to 40 % of energy, require extensive conduit, increase capital costs, and create maintenance‑intensive points of failure.
Solution
Cence Power offers an intelligent DC power ecosystem that replaces conventional AC wiring with low‑voltage (Class 2) and fault‑managed high‑voltage (Class 4) DC distribution. By delivering DC directly from the utility to end devices, the system eliminates the need for separate AC‑to‑DC drivers, reducing line losses and cutting capital expenditures on conduit and copper. Integrated smart controls, cloud‑based monitoring, and IoT sensors enable automated energy‑saving strategies that can lower operating costs by up to 40 %. The modular architecture is plug‑and‑play with existing AC panels, making it suitable for new construction and retrofit projects across commercial, healthcare, telecom, and data‑center environments.
Target Audience
Primary customers are building owners, facilities engineers, and design teams in commercial office, medical, telecom, and edge‑data‑center projects seeking energy‑efficient, low‑maintenance power distribution solutions.
Features
- Class 2 low‑voltage DC distribution (up to 60 V) that powers LED lighting and other low‑power loads without individual drivers
- Class 4 fault‑managed power (up to 450 V) delivering high‑capacity DC over long distances while monitoring for shorts, over‑current, and ground faults with microsecond shutdown
- Touch‑safe Digital Current™ technology that allows low‑voltage wiring practices for high‑power applications, reducing copper usage and conduit requirements
- Cloud‑based digital twin and Cence App for real‑time sensor data, daylight harvesting, occupancy sensing, and automated energy‑optimization
- Plug‑in installation that connects to a standard AC panel, eliminating complex rewiring and enabling rapid deployment in both new builds and retrofits
- Built‑in safety features compliant with NEC Article 726, providing fire and shock protection while supporting up to 5000 W per branch circuit
