Components
Vossloh Kiepe’s electrical components match the high rail industry standards and comply with all relevant codes, guidelines and regulations. Over a century of experience in development and production plus our strict testing and inspection criteria are an assurance of ultimate functionality and quality.

Power converters convert the electrical energy from the contact wire or the energy storage unit for the connected electrical components and systems. Vossloh Kiepe's range of converters covers any field of application from traction with many hundreds of kilowatt power to the various on-board power supply systems, e.g. with 24 V DC or 230 V AC.

In close contact with users, Vossloh Kiepe has developed a device series that can withstand rough daily operation.
|
|
|
Backed by wide-ranging practical experience and on the basis of close contacts with users, Vossloh Kiepe engineers design control units fitted for rough daily operation. Ergonomics and functional safety are the two most important properties of these Vossloh Kiepe controllers. Because of their modular design it is easy to adapt the devices to special electrical and mechanical requirements.

|
To meet the requirement for fast braking or emergency stops safely and reliably, Vossloh Kiepe offers its own group of devices. Emergency brake switches are part of the standard equipment in a mass transit vehicle. Thanks to their design, the devices from Vossloh Kiepe have high memory capacities. Easy and reliable operation as well as protection from vandalism have been combined in the best possible way.

|
|
Switching of high currents and voltages in vehicles requires competent technical solutions. The contactors and relays from Vossloh Kiepe have been used successfully for decades. Whether for the safe arc extinction during the switching of high direct currents or for the reliable demand for emergency braking.
|
|
|
Vossloh Kiepe has its own family of devices for all the car and truck functions that cannot be performed by the mass-produced relays. Vossloh Kiepe designs and manufactures special-purpose devices for situations in which standard products rapidly stop functioning.
|
|
|
Vossloh Kiepe offers a selection of signal transmitters and warning bells used in a variety of applications and built to address the requirements of tough daily operation thanks to their high reliability and long life. The acoustic signals and their sounds have been selected for good yet non-irritating audibility.
|
|
|
Switching devices that are used daily in rail and road vehicles need to be robust and reliable. Such devices from Vossloh Kiepe have fulfilled this requirement for decades. Due to the extreme operating conditions in vehicles, designs are required that are carefully thought-out and have been tested in practical operation. The result is that Vossloh Kiepe switches have a long, low-maintenance life-span.

|
|
Vossloh Kiepe’s current collectors (trolleys and pantographs) reliably route electricity from the overhead line to the vehicle. The OSA current collectors are in use around the globe and are exposed to a broad variety of climatic and infrastructure conditions. They resist the most punishing mechanical loads.
