Description
PRONUTEC S.A.U. is a company dedicated to the manufacture and commercialization of equipment for the electrical low voltage distribution. PRONUTEC main product is Vertical Fuse switches (feeders in the transformer substation). Historically fuse switches have been used in a low voltage distribution nets, working under such conditions that the products are within its comfort zone. However, with the new energy sources (renewable energy) the fuse switches are beginning to be used for different applications, where the product needs a higher performance. In cooperation with technological partners, PRONUTEC will develop a new fuse switch according to market necessities that will provide a robust solution to be used in renewable energy generation systems.
Summary of project results
PRONUTEC is a world leader in Vertical Fuse switches (feeders in the transformer substation), its main product. Historically fuse switches have been used in a LV distribution nets, working under such conditions that the products are within its comfort zone. However, with the new energy sources (renewable energy) the fuse switches are beginning to be used for different applications, where the product needs a higher performance. In cooperation with technological partners PRONUTEC has developed a new fuse switch according to market necessities that provides a robust solution to be used in renewable energy generation systems. The target market of the project is focused on central and north Europe (including Spain). The Project has been developed successfully. The outcome is the design and development of an electric contact that reduces de power losses (7%) but without increasing the raw material needed to produce it.
