PFISTERER - the power connection

In overhead lines and substations, for home power connections, in trains or wind turbines - our products play an essential role in our everyday lives. Join us in discovering new things about future and past demands on power grids worldwide – and our responses to them.

In the case of a blackout, the power supply needs to be restored quickly. This is possible using emergency mobile transformers with specially developed equipment by PFISTERER. The units equipped with CONNEX are easy to transport and quickly ready for use.

Flexible, space-saving and even in-house: CONNEX opens up new opportunities in the field of connection technology. Take the compact Oerlikon substation in Switzerland, for example, which takes up just 30 percent of the space required in the past.

Is there such a thing as powerful overhead lines that also impress with design? Of course! The proof can be found in powerful compact lines, featuring an aesthetic, stylish design and equipped with advanced composite insulator strings by PFISTERER.

Off-shore wind farms have to withstand the most extreme conditions. CONNEX – the first cable system certified for off-shore use – connects transformers, switchgears, and converter stations in a safe and reliable manner, despite the salt, wind, and weather.

Case Studies

PFISTERER developed the first universal cable repair system suitable for all XLPE-insulated cables – regardless of type and cross-section – for Schleswig-Holstein Netz AG, the largest electricity network operator in the German state of Schleswig-Holstein and partner to some 900 municipalities.

PFISTERER is supplying French transmission system operator Réseau de Transport d’Électricité (RTE) with silicone composite insulators including protective fittings for suspension and strain strings with 225 kV and 400 kV and load classes from 150 kN to 600 kN.

With lush vegetation and an abundance of tropical flowers, the island of Kauai is one of the eight main Hawaiian islands and a unique natural paradise in the middle of the Pacific. Its isolated location is both a blessing and a challenge – particularly for local energy supplier KUIC.

The new power transformers from AVU Netz GmbH are universal in their application. This network operator in western Germany is already implementing three connection versions using identically constructed transformers and thus remaining flexible for future demands. This is made possible by the versatile CONNEX connection system.

Ankara to Istanbul in just three and a half hours? The new high-speed rail link using specialist technology by PFISTERER transports passengers to the global hub at high speed – even over tricky terrain.

An aesthetic appearance: To meet this criterion for overhead lines in Denmark, PFISTERER developed four-meter-long composite insulators for truly beautiful energy.

Space-saving, innovative, underground. The Oerlikon substation uses intelligent, vertical connection technology by PFISTERER to free up building space.
