Schaltbau snap-action switches at Neumayer III Antarctic station
Schaltbau S870 Series snap-action switches are installed in the braking system of the turbine blades.
Schaltbau S870 Series snap-action switches are mounted on the brakes that are supposed to stop the turbine blades and bring them to a standstill for maintenance purposes. Three snap-action switches are implemented in the braking system: One for “wear”, another one for “aired” and a third one for indicating when the applied braking effort has reached its maximum. The brake has been tested for temperatures down to -40° C. Neumayer III is the first research station built above the snow surface. With 100 containers, the platform integrates research, operational and accommodation facilities.
