Availon grid coupling contactors for Japan

Staff ready to deploy the grid coupling contactors

Wind technology group Availon has signed a framework deal to supply 80 grid coupling contactors to Japan.

Germany-based Availon will provide the contactors to Japan’s EOS Engineering & Service for deployment on 1.5MW wind turbines.

The grid coupling contactors take on the switching processes normally handled by a turbine’s main circuit breaker, reducing the need for maintenance and the risk of damage to the component.

Turbine maintenance specialist EOS is a subsidiary of Japan Wind Development Co.
