PLANSEE switch contacts hold their own at even the highest loads: voltages of up to 1,200 kilo volts, short circuit currents of up to 50 kilo amperes, temperatures of up to 20,000 °C and switching speeds of up to 25 m/s. And that at lifespan of over 40 years.
The PLANSEE top materials for power engineering are tungsten-copper (WCu), copper-chromium (CuCr) and tungsten carbide-silver (WCAg).
| As switch contacts, PLANSEE materials demonstrate their unbeatable wear resistance and optimal burn-off behavior. PLANSEE contact materials are utilized all along the supply chain for the reliable separation and closing of circuits. In PLANSEE's powder-metallurgical manufacturing process, the company manufactures metallic composite materials with optimal property profiles for power engineering. With challenging joining technologies and fully automated manufacturing processes, PLANSEE produces high-precision components and switch contact systems at the PLANSEE Powertech production site in Switzerland. |  |
From the raw material to the finished product, we have everything in hand: thus we guarantee reliable high quality across the supplychain, and can respond to new market needs in record time. Customers value PLANSEE's ready-to-install contact systems.
