Energy Technology

From laying cables and assembling distribution boards, to installing switches and sockets, and connecting lights and machinery – we create connections that meet their requirements. Electrical installation is the heart of what we do and forms the link between all of our other services.

Depending on the area, the general frequency of lightning strikes in Germany ranges from 0.2 to 3.9 strikes per square mile per year. The probability of a direct strike is therefore not particularly high, but without protective measures, the damage that occurs can be devastating. We install systems for external lightning protection, such as air-termination systems, lightning arresters, and grounding systems, as well as surge protective devices (SPD) for internal lightning protection. The latter also protects against indirect exposure to high voltages from distant lightning strikes.

Electrical equipment, grounding, and extraneous conductive parts can assume different electrical voltages. This "potential difference" can lead to dangerous contact voltages. Potential equalization acts against this. It ensures that we are safely on the ground and protected from voltages, even indoors.

For many of our customers, a malfunction or failure of the electrical power supply is particularly critical. Production processes are disrupted, security systems stop working, and, in hospitals, human lives are at stake. To prevent such cases, particularly critical areas continue to be supplied by an emergency power system, a central battery system (CBS), or an uninterruptible power supply (UPS). In addition to planning and implementing such solutions in your project, we manufacture individual control cabinets for such systems at our switch cabinet construction facilities.

Electrical installations in hazardous areas require special attention. A number of safety regulations must be observed during installation but also later during the operation of, for example, tank systems, special storage facilities, or airfield refueling systems. We also have many years of experience in this area and ensure safe operation.

The energy revolution can also be seen in the developments for the lighting of offices, production facilities, and warehouses. We make sure that you and your employees are never left in the dark – beginning with the planning of a lighting system, to selecting efficient, long-lasting light sources and, last but not least, developing a smart lighting control system.

In addition to electrically connecting machines and production equipment, we also take care of heating and ventilation system installations. Our departments also work hand in hand on appropriate ICE technology and the construction of customized power and control cabinets.

It is no longer possible to imagine life without data transmissions. Whether it is digital television (DTV) in residential or hotel complexes, or trunked radio systems on company premises – we handle all the work involved in planning and implementing satellite systems and antenna technology. At the same time, we also offer the appropriate downstream technology for complex systems, so that each individual end device receives an optimal signal.

The sun offers us an almost endless supply of energy. We make this energy usable for you with the help of photovoltaic systems and the appropriate storage systems. Use solar energy for your needs – from open spaces, facades, or on roofs. We support you with our know-how, all the way up to the megawatt range.

The European Installation Bus (EIB), nowadays generally referred to as KNX (derived from the temporary name KONNEX), is a bus system for building automation. Controlling lighting, shading, heating/air conditioning/ventilation, locking and alarm systems – including over remote monitoring and control – can be manually set by users or be automated by software. The planning for such systems is completed by our respective specialist departments for the desired area of application. Naturally, we also take care of the installation and cabling of all components. We put the systems into operation, assist you during operation, and carry out new configurations or additions.

Communication between system components is essential for bringing ICE systems to life. This exchange of information is controlled via fieldbus systems. For example, the internationally recognized KNX standard. We have likewise evolved over the years in step with the latest systems and draw on a wealth of experience every day.

Power lines are our bread and butter. Some projects require hundreds of miles of cabling with highly varying diameters. These can also be busbars in the medium and low-voltage range. Other versions of laying systems include cable troughs, mesh cable trays, riser trays, and underfloor and parapet ducts. It is necessary to carefully plan the route in a space-saving way to ensure it is as efficient as possible – including with regard to the routing of other components.
