Schaltbau Holding AG

Electromechanics for transport systems

Our products connect, contact and control electrical systems in rail vehicles. Schaltbau developers often go entirely new routes to solve technical problems. With the CT contactor, they reinvented the extinction of the electric arc: the traction contactor connects DC and alternating currents of all UIC voltages – without a critical current range.
