In the run-up to Hannover Messe 2023, the editors of KEM Konstruktion spoke to our CEO Philipp Steinberger. With regard to our busbar systems, the focus was on the consistent further development of the system idea.

KEM Konstruktion: Wöhner is a specialist for busbar systems for industry, but also for infrastructure or building projects. What is the advantage of such systems? What contribution can they make to simplifying control cabinet production?

Philipp Steinberger: Already in the 1980s, Wöhner standardised the busbar with the 60 mm system and developed devices that could be screwed or snapped onto it. Even these first busbars from the company helped to bring order and system into the control cabinet. Today, busbars are a highly efficient medium that distribute energy efficiently, with high performance and still save space. The use of these systems reduces the amount of wiring required and results in compact control cabinets with low thermal loads. Over time, Wöhner has specified a grid dimension for its basic systems and introduced the CrossLink modules. The advantages today are the protection against contact, which has led to greater safety and good insulation properties in accordance with IEC and UL regulations. In this way, the safety of the electricians during operation and maintenance could be optimised.

KEM Konstruktion: You are talking about cascading different power levels?

Philipp Steinberger: Our busbar systems are universally designed, just as suitable for the IEC as for the UL market, for AC and DC applications and for different power levels. The basic systems, such as the 185Power system or the CrossBoard, support these different power levels. In this way, the power supply can be structured in main and sub-distributions up to the control cabinets directly at the machines. To achieve this decentralisation, ...
