Electrical switching –
on the safe side

Control and automatic functions always employ
electrical switching.

Remote control switches for pulse controls,
switching relays, or Insta contactors switch
electrical loads.

Our low-voltage circuit protection technology
offers a wide variety of contact versions and rated
currents for the different requirements of these
devices.

Safety, convenience and energy savings – these
characterize automatic switching.
