Effektaktiveret

Effektaktiveret is a Danish term used in engineering and energy management to describe a function, device, or system that is activated by power. The word is composed of effekt (power, energy) and aktiveret (activated). In practice, effektaktiverede features respond to electrical conditions rather than to time or manual input. For example, a protective device may be described as effektaktiveret if it engages only when the available power exceeds a preset threshold, or if a load-shedding action is triggered by a defined power demand.

The term is most common in Danish technical literature and standards related to electrical installations, building automation, and energy efficiency. It is often contrasted with tidsaktiveret (time-activated) and sensoraktiveret (sensor-activated) modes. While not universally standardized, effektaktiveret operation is used to improve safety, reduce peak demand, or optimize energy use by ensuring that certain functions only run when sufficient electrical power is present or when power demand warrants action.

In practice, discussing effektaktiveret functionality typically involves specifying the triggering condition (for example, a power level in kilowatts or a percentage of rated power), the response (such as enabling a circuit, starting a device, or initiating a control sequence), and any fallback behavior if power is lost (for example, safe shutdown).
