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.
