ERCO Minirail 48V track. Small cross section, large flexibility

The elegant infrastructure for lighting in the digital age

Special features of ERCO Minirail 48V track
View product description

48V technology

Low voltage technology achieves very good energy efficiency which leads to low operating costs.

Compact profile

The small dimensions of the track profile of only 22mm is highly discreet, thus directing the focus on the light. Compact profiles are particularly advantageous in small rooms.

Recessed

A plaster trim profile is available as an accessory for flush mounting in the ceiling or wall.

Structure

Track can be easily mounted to ceilings, walls and furniture as a surface-mounted variant.

Suspension equipment

Track can be simply suspended from the ceiling. Wire suspensions are ideal for sloping ceilings and pendant tubes are suitable for high loads.

With Minirail, ERCO offers a miniaturised alternative to the classic ERCO track as the basis for flexible space-saving lighting systems. Minirail is operated with 48V. The system requires only two conductors and features a profile with a width of just 22mm: ideal for all situations requiring the smallest possible system dimensions, whether for aesthetic or technical reasons. In combination with correspondingly compact luminaires for Minirail, lighting designers can install high quality lighting in the smallest of spaces. The 48V operating voltage represents an optimum in terms of safety and efficiency. Minirail is suitable for ceiling recessing or surface-mounting and, with appropriate accessories, for suspended mounting. A wide range of configurations can be created with the various connectors, couplers and feeds.

ERCO Minirail 48V track in the application

Individualise ERCO Minirail 48V track for your use case

With our “ERCO individual” service we offer you extensive options for the individualisation of series products as well as support in the development of sophisticated special luminaires. In order to match ERCO Minirail 48V track even more efficiently to your project requirements, further variants are available on request in addition to the series configuration. These include, for example:

Housing: 10,000 further colours

Different mounting methods

The system design of Minirail 48V track enables different types of mounting: recessed, surface-mounted, with mounting surfaces for ceiling panels or for suspension with wires or pendant tubes.

Lineare Anordnung

Power supply unit: Only use power supply units approved by ERCO
Connection cable: The total length of the connection cable should not exceed 10m / 35ft
The live end allows electrical connection from above or from the side
Track: The total length of a system must not exceed 20m/ 70ft
Coupler: the coupler enables track to be extended electrically. For pendant suspension, it is essential to plan the flush coupler together with wire suspension 13956.
Live end: the end plate forms a visual termination and protects against short-circuiting the conductors

Cross arrangement

Power supply unit: Only use power supply units approved by ERCO
Connection cable: The total length of the connection cable should not exceed 10m / 35ft
Track: The total length of a system must not exceed 20m/ 70ft
5. 6. Corner, T and X connectors: the connectors allow feeding from above. Note the internal wiring of the connectors during planning.
Polarity changer: Plan 2 polarity changers here to prevent short circuits

Non-rectangular arrangement

Power supply unit: Only use power supply units approved by ERCO
Connection cable: The total length of the connection cable should not exceed 10m / 35ft
Track: The total length of a system must not exceed 20m/ 70ft
Flexible connector: For non-rectangular forms, plan with the flexible connector or multiflex connector. These connectors, which can be modified without tools, allow the system to be continuously adapted to the conditions on site.
Multiflex connector: Multiflex connectors also allow vertical adjustment to compensate for height differences in the ceiling. These connectors are therefore ideal for connecting track running over walls and ceilings.
Long connector: Only if you plan multiflex connectors here is a long connector required for the power feed. Flexible connectors allow the power feed, a long connector would not be required here. Take the long connector into account when determining the length of the track sections.

Singlet

Power supply unit: Only use power supply units approved by ERCO
Connection cable: For safe operation, the following cable lengths should not be exceeded for each power supply unit with a cable cross section of 2.5mm² /14 AWG:
Power supply unit up to first singlet 10m / 35ft
First to last singlet 20m / 70ft
The specifications are based on an even distribution of electrical loads to the singlets. We recommend calculating the cable cross-sections project-specifically.
First and last singlet: you can plan as many singlets as you like between the first and the last singlet – the number of luminaires installed later depends on the capacity of the power supply unit.
Flush and overlapping mounting: To make the ceiling opening, use a standard 68mm diameter drill bit. Using the plaster ring accessory, the singlet can be easily installed flush with the ceiling via the proven ERCO mounting principle.

Minirail 48V power supply units

The power supply can be mounted in the ceiling. You can alternatively mount the 50W and 250W power supply units on the ceiling or above the track. For mounting on the track, a long connector or a live end is also required. The length of the Minirail track must not exceed 20m / 70ft per power feed.

Features of the available power supply units

Adaptable
Power supply units with various capacities are available for the power supply of the Minirail system. To determine which power supply unit you need, simply add up the wattages of the required luminaires and select the next larger power supply unit.
Example: For 15 luminaires each with 15W, you need at least 225W, which means you choose the ERCO 250W power supply unit.

Planning reliability
ERCO 50W and 250W power supply units offer the advantage that you can double the performance of your system by connecting an identical power supply unit with the same capacity in parallel.

Integration in DALI systems

The DALI to Casambi Gateway ensures that the 48V luminaires with Casambi Bluetooth can also be controlled wirelessly via DALI systems.

The maximum permissible mechanical load results from the maximum permissible deflection of the profiles and the maximum permissible load of the suspensions. The load distribution is composed of the system's own weight and evenly distributed individual loads (point loads).

L	(mm)	Length
f_e	(mm)	Deflection due to the weight of the profile
F_D	(kg)	Max. load of one suspension
F_e	(kg)	Weight of the profile
F₁	(kg)	Max. permissible load with two-point suspension and permissible deflection (L/250) of 4mm per metre length
F₂	(kg)	Max. permissible load with multi-point suspension and permissible deflection (L/250) of 4mm per metre length
