Distribution of electric current for industrial and domestic consumers takes place in the medium voltage range.

SF6 switchgear units are used today for the widest range of requirements – from the switching of transformers and overhead lines and cables through to capacitors, chokes and motors up to filter circuits and electric arc furnaces.

The materials WCu, CuCr and WCAg are used to a great extent in energy distribution. PLANSEE Powertech AG manufactures these materials on an industrial scale with a very high degree of automation.
