Reliable Power Switching and Motor Starting Solutions for the Wind Energy Industry

Vacuum contactors are crucial in renewable energy applications such as wind. These contactors control the power flow from the wind energy source to the grid. As renewable energy sources continue to gain popularity, the need for efficient and reliable electrical equipment has become more important than ever. 

Contactors are responsible for switching on and off the power supply to various parts of the turbine, including:

  • Generators: Contactors act as the on/off switch for the power supply to the generator, which converts the rotational energy of the blades into electrical energy.
  • Pitch Control System: Contactors help to switch on and off the power supply to the pitch control system, ensuring the blades are positioned correctly.
  • Brakes: contactors switch on the power supply to the braking system, bringing the turbine to a safe stop.
