Rauscher & Stoecklin - Railway Switches for Electrification Systems
Rauscher & Stoecklin specializes in providing an extensive range of railway switches that cater to various electrification needs. Their portfolio includes vital components like disconnectors, load-break switches, and earthing switches designed for both AC and DC applications. The AC switches are available in nominal voltages of 15 kV or 25 kV with a nominal current up to 2,000 A, while the DC switches support up to 3 kV voltage and 4,000 A current. These switches are engineered to operate reliably in extreme climatic conditions ranging from -30°C to +40°C, ensuring functionality under heavy icing, humidity, and polluted or salty environments. The auxiliary contact system enhances operational safety, and the motor drives offer robust fail-safes, including emergency crank handles for power outages. The switches feature minimal maintenance requirements and a lifecycle of up to 10,000 cycles, making them both a cost-effective and durable option for railway electrification projects. Customizable designs ensure that Rauscher & Stoecklin can meet specific project requirements, offering tailored solutions in close collaboration with clients.
With a wide range of railway switches, we are able to provide customers with the right solution.
