Connection technology in energy applications

Connection technology in energy applications

With the COMPLETE line system products, you can establish reliable and efficient connections for every application in your energy installation.

The different functions within a switch cabinet for medium-voltage switchgear systems pose specific challenges for the connection technology. Depending on the complexity, test-disconnect terminal blocks or plug-in test systems are used for testing purposes. Potential distribution via different terminal blocks is a key element in the power supply. Pre-assembled cable harnesses with plug-in terminals significantly accelerate wiring. Various terminal blocks are suitable for marshalling signals, depending on the application. Plug-in connections and heavy-duty connectors are used to connect the switching device to the field.
