Composite materials for switchgear
Switchgear must be operationally safe even after several thousand switching cycles and with electrical currents at several hundred kilo ampere. Constructors need high-performance materials for development that meet high electrical and mechanical requirements. With Durostone® (GFRP), we offer a material with outstanding mechanical and electrical resilience that is used specifically for low-, medium and high-voltage switchgear. It thus contributes to the constructions of high-performance and operationally safe switchgear.
Your advantages
- High operating safety
- Long-lived
- High safety thanks to flame-retardant properties
- High creep resilience
Typical areas of application
- Low-voltage switchgear
- Medium-voltage switchgear
- High-voltage switchgear
- Gas-insulated SF6 circuits

Arrange technical advice
The performance and reliability of materials for switchgears are influenced by a variety of factors. These criteria need to be considered in order to make the right choice. Examples:
- Mechanical stress
- Dielectrical stress
- Thermal stress/heat class
- Constructional requirements
- Dimensions and tolerances
