More energy efficiency for renewables

In a world that is both energy-hungry and needs to manage the energy transition at the same time, the use of direct current from solar plants in energy storage and charging stations has plenty of advantages in terms of efficiency. However, safe switching under the DC load places high requirements on electromechanical components.

As one of the few direct-current experts worldwide with decades of experience, Schaltbau provides contactors that help control the flow of electrical energy by providing high efficiency and reliable current handling in terms of transfer and breaking. Schaltbau has developed special DC devices capable of extinguishing the electric arcs that result from the nature of direct current. We are also solution-oriented experts for decentralized energy systems, which incorporate photovoltaic energy and energy stores at the same time.
