BAUMANN CONTACT ELEMENTS ADVANTAGES

COMPARISON WITH TULIP CONTACT

Tulip contacts are used mainly in high-voltage and medium-voltage applications. BAUMANN Contact Elements have successfully replaced tulip contacts in 3-position switches, busbar-connections, EPUs, disconnector switches, plug-in tech and MV GIS alignment string.


BAUMANN Contact Elements have the following advantages compared with tulip contacts:


  • 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.

  • Constant insertion force
    BAUMANN Contact Elements operate at nearly constant force over a wide deflection range. Typically, the deflection ranges from 5% to 35%.

  • Convenient and efficient assembly
    The diameter of BAUMANN Contact Elements can be slightly compressed or expanded during assembly. Therefore, assembly line managers prefer BAUMANN Contact Elements because a convenient and efficient assembly reduces lead times.
