Eddicy
Direct current (DC) technology, long overshadowed by alternating current (AC), is making a remarkable comeback in the world of energy supply. Whether it’s electrically powered industrial trucks, solar panels in photovoltaic systems, or modern battery systems, DC technology is finding its way into various applications. The growing acceptance of DC brings new challenges, especially in the field of switching technology.
Schaltbau, a global market leader in direct current (DC) technology, launched its new sub-brand Eddicy in March 2024, targeting the rapidly growing energy and e-mobility markets. With Eddicy products, the company can reach various market segments with a differentiated product portfolio. All these products are tailored to meet the demands brought about by the energy transition. The Eddicy product line can be divided into 3 product groups:
- Contactors
- Switchgears
- Connectors
The Eddicy product range is specifically designed to maximize the benefits of electrification and contribute to a more sustainable future with reduced CO2 emissions. The entire Eddicy offering ensures reliable performance in DC applications related to energy and e-mobility. All products are essential for switching, connecting, monitoring, and protecting electrical infrastructures such as electric vehicle charging stations, energy storage systems, and various types of electric transport.
