The name Schaltbau means switch construction. Since its foundation in the year XNUMX, Schaltbau has oriented its development around the switching of DC voltages. The enormous know-how acquired over almost a century has turned to the development of four product lines with unique characteristics:
• High voltage DC contactors. Bidirectional and air-switched DC contactors to achieve the highest level of safety in installations.
• Microswitches. Microswitches with sudden break and forced guide, unique in the market. The highest level of security as well as the greatest possibilities in speed of action.
• Connectors. Unique solutions for train braking systems.
• Railway material. Numerous solutions for roof, cockpit and switchgear applications.
Today, Schaltbau is a company with a global presence that is the technology leader in DC switching. The use of direct current is the key to future energy generation and storage, electromobility and transportation systems. Photovoltaic generation systems, chargers for electric cars and electric cars cannot be understood without DC voltage.
The factories of the future will be capable of self-supply through solar panels and will have a minimal impact on the public internet thanks to energy storage systems using the second life of electric car batteries. This term is being incorporated today by SCHALTBAU in its new factory in Germany #NextFactory. This plant, which covers an area of 20.000m2 and is currently under construction, will have zero impact on electricity consumption from the public network.
Schaltbau is building the future of industrial plants today using the technologies that it develops itself. From KOLBI Electronics we join this future with our cooperation as distributors offering the most cutting-edge technology in DC switching in the fields of:
• Energy
• Electromobility
• Transportation
