BAUMANN CONTACT ELEMENTS ADVANTAGES

COMPARISON WITH FLEXIBLE CONNECTIONS

Flexible connections are used mainly in high-voltage and medium-voltage applications. BAUMANN Contact Elements have successfully replaced flexible connections in 3-position switches, EPUs and disconnector switches.

BAUMANN Contact Elements have the following advantages compared with flexible connections:

• Good dielectric behavior
  BAUMANN Contact Elements have a symmetric, round-shaped geometry without sharp corners. Their dielectric behavior is superior to many other connection solutions.
  
  
• Low space requirement
  BAUMANN Contact Elements can transmit high currents in small spaces. Engineers choose BAUMANN Contact Elements to reduce the size of the total assembly.
  
  
• Convenient and efficient assembly
  The assembly of BAUMANN Contact Elements does not require any screws, bolts, nuts or tools. Therefore, assembly line managers prefer BAUMANN Contact Elements because the efficient assembly reduces lead times.
