Munich, 10 March 2021: In most modern applications, contactors and other electromechanical switchgear are used for emergency stop situations only. In normal operation, switching is implemented by the power electronics. The contactors are only responsible for galvanic isolation and only … Continued
The sun moves from east to west over the solar array, reaching its highest point at noon in the south. For the photovoltaic system to generate the optimum yield, the solar panels have to follow the path of the sun, … Continued
Schaltbau GmbH set up a cross-plant task force team at the end of February to implement a series of preventive measures to avoid the spread of the new COVID-19 virus. Efforts taken at an early stage to protect the employees and our production facilities … Continued
An automobile manufacturer needed a precharging contactor for their electric motor test benches that could withstand arcing during switch-on. They previously used a high-voltage relay, but its contacts frequently welded. Schaltbau investigated the clearances and creepage distances in the high-voltage … Continued
Smart Power is currently implementing a medium-sized battery storage system with a capacity of 1.2 MW in Trostberg. In this project, it is not the primary balancing power that plays the main role (as is so often the case). Instead, … Continued
The expansion of renewable energy generation and the spread of electromobility are leading to more and more DC applications in all industries. Schaltbau, as a specialist for switching high DC currents, presents its latest developments at DC contactors at the Hanover … Continued
Schaltbau’s trade show at the InnoTrans in Berlin is all about innovative solutions for rail vehicles. One of our highlights is the IntelliDesk: an innovative communication and wiring concept which enables easy system integration within the driver’s desk. The different … Continued
With the CP series Schaltbau is introducing once more an innovative concept to the switchgear market. The arc-handling is done exclusively by permanent-magnetic blowout. This patented technology ensures fully bi-directional breaking capability and a more compact design. By reducing dimensions … Continued
The switching of high-voltage direct currents in the field of e-mobility, energy storage and photovoltaic systems should be done safely and reliably, in order to avoid hazards and damage to humans and goods. At our booth you can learn how … Continued
